I need a better GWP to use my AR. The elusive cosmetic bag would have been perfect. As I was doing housework tonight, I almost began packing for my vaca. #SoSad. I saw a lot of interesting things that I could get cheap with SRCs if all mine are $10. I always end with more than I plan.

some photos:
raglan sleeve dress in xs (DH said no to this - i think bc it's kinda short but i kinda like it)
long sleeve tucked front knit dress in s (i bugged DH about this and all he said was Dontknow, but he did say it was better than the first dress)

not sure about either. i feel like the tucked front knit dress is not very flattering and is possibly a bit big. the arms are definitely too big but the waist part seems to fit, sort of. i prefer the raglan sleeve dress since it at least fits, but i guess it is a bit on the short side.

thoughts?

But I want the gray too krusty! It's more fall. The other 2 or springy and summery.
That's why I'm sad I didn't get the white! They better bring these back in more colors, I love it Smilie I'll keep an eye out for a 0 or 2 for you, let us know if white or blue come back please bounceoh... and Happy Birthday! (I took a few days off and don't remember if I said anything). How great DH was able to make it back home.
Quote from kurips :
is it normal that i am having remorse on some of my items in my order that used the reward? i was in a hurry yesterday because of the ruched lace jacket i had to have because there was only one available and it is my size. rewards stress me out!
I encounter the same anxieties... I had a $90 reward and thanked my lucky stars that almost everything I had just received for DH was still in stock so I could re-order it with the reward. I love those single $15 ones... I've got 2 staple items I will now pick up whenever I see them in clearance and I have a reward - contrast easy sleeve tee and the V-neck sweaters. I know I won't regret them! Secret I thought 'pegging' was a typo! laugh out loud

That's been my experience with their CS on PA's too Smilie Not dreading the PA calls means I don't second guess my purchases nor my decision to get a CC with them Big Grin

Thoughts: the first dress - seems kinda cute, but if I had that and the blue chiffon/black dress next to this one in my closet... I don't think I'd ever grab for the raglan sleeve one - knowing how great that one looks on you. The tucked front dress - It's a nice print and seems to fit your arms. However I feel like your shape is lost in it- what if you belted it to give it more definition? You could even get a little gutsy and try a bright solid colored belt. Scratchhead I've bought so many dresses recently - I put them in my closet with the tags on. New rule: If I don't reach for it within the 90-day return window, it's gotta go back. You could see if either of these pass that test?

that's a great rule of thumb. i felt the same way with the tucked front dress. you can't really see it but the sleeves (near the shoulders) are at least an inch too big, so it's loose there and creates these weird flaps. i'm thinking XS would look nicer. it's most likely going back.

the raglan sleeve is more comfy due to the loose top. i actually don't know if i'd ever wear the ballerina black/blue dress, but i guess i'll keep it considering everyone here likes it on me. Coverlaugh it's at least a more proper length - i do like the raglan sleeve dress bc it's dressy and casual at the same time but it's kind of a dangerous length on me.

i can't believe that jacket that kurpee linked is gone - it's been in clearance for weeks.

you got the black dress too? i'm sure the length works better on you! Photo do you think i should return it?

also, i got a cancellation confirmation from NM, and express emailed me back today about the missing points. Faint that was super fast! (i emailed them yesterday) they keep telling me that i'm not logged into my Next account when making the purchases - is there a different way to log in other than logging into my account online? kuz i'm always logged in to my account... Crazy
