New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
alvs - or anyone with the $15 GC from the 2 bras deal instore, is there an exclusion on the back of the card that says it can't be combined with any other coupon?

Or does it work like the SRCs? Just wondering since I did the online version and won't get it shipped to me until sometime next week or the week after...and debating if I should hold off using my $15 PBOS. There is this bra I saw in stores that I wanted...it would definitely be a better deal of I can get $30 off it instead of the PBOS $15. Plus $10 off bday card Big Grin

TIA!!
instore i believe it says no and online it can be combined.

Quote from nerdicus :
does bday card combine with pbos?

Alvs - I actually got a limited mailer today! it's 15 off 30 and there were two - one for you and one for a friend. too bad it's not 15 off anything! let me know if you want them.
would love it if you're not using it.
i think it should combine.

Scratchhead Did I forget to mention the boxes full of papers that I have never opened? I'm not sure the binder system has been put through its paces yet and is ready for the "big leagues"
good idea. one of the reasons i don't keep up with mine is because i send stuff back so it would be incomplete. i need to start keeping better records.

You're my hero in terms of organization!

I'm not quite as big as you. I'm a larger 32C. My blazer is tight in a 4. It's a little tighter than I would like, but at the same time, it looks great worn open. I think it's perfect open.
. . .
Thanks for pointing out the blazer, though. It's pretty sharp!
Superman Hehe, thanks. I told DH that and he laughed. Our office is a maze of boxes marked 'SORT'. I'm lucky to have a path cleared to our desks laugh out loud I'm glad the jacket can work for you. I've been checking the store and I don't see it re-emerging in the spring line... hopefully summer! I love that it's machine washable- total no-go without that nod
Quote from GoHeels :

I had no idea that applying for a credit increase would hurt your credit score. That's good to know. EEK!

I love the jacket & appreciate you telling us about it. It's not your fault that it runs small.
. . .
I should clarify, it wasn't the application for credit increase (I just did that yesterday - although that might also have that effect, I don't know), it was that I charged up within $1 of the limit EEK! so I guess we want really high lines of credit, but we're not supposed to come close to fully exercising them. I track my score month to month now with the free service provided through Experian - creditsesame.com .

I'm glad that besides sizing issues, it's an across the board hit!
Quote from azn1x6flame :
For my VS card, I've always been able to get an automatic increase when I'm close to my limit. Between the 300-200 range is when they automatically increase it. Maybe it's the same for Express, I have no idea? I've been denied my first VS card increase request and I've never asked since then, but have been getting regular increases. I don't know if I'd ever gotten an Express increase because I don't monitor that card that much.

As for the VS slips, I actually have them stored in the small white packages. I find that it fits perfectly. I tear off all the return labels and keep max of 2 in the front and everything is organized by date. Return labels take up soo much room! I find this to be pretty easy Big Grin New ones go on top. Yesterday I actually just cleaned out old order slips from 04-07. I tossed anything that only had items I've returned completely or items I no longer own. I toss the store return slips after my returns have been processed and credited to card.

I really love your 90 return policy idea about not reaching for it, then returning it. I find that I'm more inclined to return something I don't like versus keeping it like I used to.

High Five for being so organized!!
. . . .
I had the card less than a month before I needed an increase Facepalm . Yeah, VS automatically increased mine and I can't say how it affected my credit to go near the limit since I wasn't monitoring my score that closely before.

That's a good idea to throw out old slips. I don't know if I can bring myself to do that... Embarrassment You can see how I might have a house full of anxiety-inducing clutter... stuffed into boxes labeled 'SORT'.

I'm so undisciplined, I have to make up all these rules. I hope you gals can use the ideas... I'll probably abandon them in a few weeks. I also started hanging everything I buy that I'm not sure about. Items sit at the front of the closet, staring me down every time I open the door. Now, they get ample opportunity to entice me, whereas they used to be stored in their shopping bag with the receipt. It also forces me to make sure I have enough room (= hangers hehee) for clothes. Of course, I'm out of hangers LMAO

Express - More new stuff in Clearance (Peplum Strapless dress, corset skirts, lace yoke easy tees). Feb Bonus Pts are not as drool "Get DOUBLE POINTS* on every Men's 1MX or Women's dress purchased with your EXPRESS NEXT Credit Card, February 1 - 28, 2013. Stock up on style and never look underdressed again!"
ETA 2 - Does anyone have the metallic ruched lace dress [express.com] in a size 2 or 4 in their return pile? Or the Sharkbite dress in a Black Small? Let's make a deal!

I saw these suede pumps at H&M today [hm.com]- they look so hot! They've got some real padding in the forefoot. Were it not for the height (3.5") and funky sizing ( I needed a 6.5 but the store said they didn't MAKE it in that size? Yet they make it in a few other half sizes Crazy ) .


...and ohmygosh, kitty is sleeping above my head and she's snoring. Just like her "daddy" laugh out loud

I understand scanning can be also be a PIA... there's a phone app called "CamScan" that was free a few months ago. You can take pics of the order slips and each photo becomes a page of a single PDF doc that you can email to yourself. Pretty neat! OK, if kitty's snoring, then perhaps I should be too.. Night/Morning! YawnETA - laugh out loud I see we're on the same page. I'm getting the white lace yoke and the corset skirt in stone and tweed. I have no idea how they fit Farking Addict

For a good credit score, you should only utilize up to 50% of your credit limit per card. Once you go over 50%, your score will be affected.

laugh out loud Your lucky sweaterdress. That thing came up way short on me. Much shorter than the solid-color ones. I await my pink houndstoothers Whee
too much work to scan/copy, isn't it?

i'm thinking the zebra and houndstooth would fit the same. it was short on me too, i thought i'd wear one of my free tights with it. the shortness might be the reason why my booty looked cute in it.

mine does probably. the limit on my store cards is so much lower than my regular cards. it's annoying. i could go buy a car on my master card if i wanted to.
