my limited ban has been going pretty well. i peeked at their site the other day and saw some blouses that looked nice, but decided if i'm going to look at them, i'll look in store. it's just not worth the headache for me to order online anymore. if i can't return in store and can't return online without getting charged multiple return labels, what's the point??
definitely stick to in store unless you're almost sure you're keeping it.
i haven't had any problems returning online items in store but i rarely order from them now. the last time was a few months ago and it was smooth, no problem, no BS about online returns in store.

I think in store experience really depends on the person tho. I was able to get a PA from a nice SA, when someone who walked into the store 10 mins later and was helped by a different SA was denied a PA on sale items. Guess its luck of the draw

However, I understand how you feel. It's quite shocking and hurtful for something like that to come in a situation after being a "dump all" for the department. hug Please don't take it to heart and just ignore it. The more reaction you give them, the more buttons they know to push. Remember - they are trying to get a laugh out of your expense. It's just how guys are. Just roll with the punches. Your coworker shoulda asked for more money to "buy the lunch" and pocketed it playfully and told the guy to buy his own lunch. laugh out loud
Or she could pocket it and say, "OK, we'll start saving $$ for a nice lunch for you since you're so special. Now what will you do for lunch today?" Sly


Agreed about the reaction. I also think teasing is a way to flirt without having actual conversational skills, even though it doesn't have a chance of getting anywhere that way Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)


Also... hate to admit it, but I would soooo buy your friend HelloKitty too Evillaugh That it gets such a rise out of her - it might stop if she were to acknowledge it were a smidge Crazy irrational to get so worked up over a cartoon kitty. I mean, I don't like HK either, but come on laugh out loud

lol seriously. but some companies have better FB CS than others. i blasted *unnamed* company about a poor in store experience where they didnt honor a valid coupon. the FB CS ended up backing up the store's BS. After I linked the coupon clearly stating the terms and conditions to refute BS FB CS's claim, that shut them up. Then they referred me to real CS...and actually tried to be "nice"

Kurpee -If you don't want to put your experience through the trial of public opinion, you could just scour the comments section for that all important direct line to their CS dept... an email with a NAME in it laugh out loud like what Alvs mentioned for Limited.

I like that! nod

I also think teasing is a way to flirt, but with these guys - they are nerds (mostly) and have actually expressed to me that my friend is not "intelligent" or something like that for them. Sadly, they are right.

Funny thing about the HK thing is that her and I went out to lunch and walked past a store that sold Sanrio type stuff and I wasn't even really paying attention and I saw a giant Blue Bear and the FIRST thing she says to me "OMG HK is there!" I didn't even see HK. It's a tiny little stuffie (among all the clutter) compared to GIANT Blue Bear. That is a bit much, for sure.

What are you all planning to pair with the dark denim & black lace jackets from Express clearance?

I'm thinking the lace jacket could be dressed up or down. What do you all think about wearing it with dark blue jeans to Disney next weekend for bar hopping with our DS, who turns 21 Thursday. Is it too dressy for jeans? If not, what top should I wear? I have some black shooties to wear with it.

I'm not sure what to pair with the dark denim jacket. I suppose light denim jeans would work, but I don't really like wearing two denim garments together. What do you all think?

I'd order it and ignore the sa's smart ass remarks!

don't keep anything you don't want.
Thanks ladies. I went ahead & ordered the XS. I wish I knew someone who wore size S in case I decide the XS fits better.

GoHeels: thank you for your understand and sympathy. I feel like I'm whining, but life definitely feels very limited lately. I'm sorry to hear that you experienced this kind of pain yourself. I hope you are well now. <3
I have arthritis & a deteriorating spine. Without the surgery, I was bedfast. Since yours it due to a work injury, you should have more success with the surgery than I did. Make sure you have a highly recommend surgeon & you should be fine. Let me know, if you have an questions or just get down & want to chat. hug

Thanks

Quote from tarribear :
Scary with the internet they know all sorts of things. I stopped ordering as much from them, one- because things are expensive, two-because they just don't seem to have what I want any more and three- I think their stuff is made more cheaply now. Even the panties are not made as well but they are my favorite.
I've stopped shopping a lot at VS too. Their prices have gotten outrageous for the quality. If I could find nice bras in my size elsewhere, I'd buy even less. Like you, I do really like some of their panties & will continue to buy those. I've also gotten good deals on lingerie at times.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Old quote but I wanted to say that happened to me with the Express double V wedge T. First washing - hole right in front. I've still tried to wear it with a scarf but who am I kidding? What a waste.
They have to get a lot of complaints. The super thin fabric is ridiculous. If they don't stop using it, I'll be very hesitant to buy tees & some cardigans there. The tees I got from last spring were thicker than the more recent tees I ordered. I'm afraid that's a bad sign of things to come.

I think a lot of it depends on the relationship between the people. Some people can call me a biotch, and I wouldn't care, but if the right person called me that I may want to go all Alabama backwoods on their arse.

Black lace could be worn with jeans, black pants, over dresses, or with a skirt.

I personally don't like denim jackets with jeans. I wear mine over dresses or with black pants or khakis.

I sure hope not. With VS' thinner shirts and Express as well, what are we going to wear now?! EEK! I hope my unlimited suppy of shirts don't run out anytime soon! I can't believe the price they are charging for their lightweight cardigans!

Me too. I pair my denim jackets with dresses, skirts, khaki pants and now that I have the colored pants/jeans, I'd pair it with those.
I haven't received the jacket yet, but think jeans will be it's most frequent pairing Coverlaugh . You can use jewelry to dictate the dressy-ness of it all. IMO, costume or statement = casual
