What are you all planning to pair with the dark denim & black lace jackets from Express clearance?
are you talking about the ruched sleeve ones in lace and in denim?

I am so kicking myself. I just got the last Gorgeous bra I've been eying since before the holidays and I went with my sister size, which seems to now be my normal size and it fits so much better than my "normal" size before VS "updated" everything. All my other Gorgeous bras are okay fitting, but if I had tried my sister size sooner, I could've actually been soo much happier. Booo. Bring back the Gorgeous line!

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
the only reason i order is because of the couture card. why can't you return in-store?
they used to give me shit for returning online items in store. it's not at my regular mall but one that's about 10 minutes further, so i'm not there that much. i got annoyed with not knowing whether i can actually return in store.
Quote from wolfiegirl :
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
very true - i had amazing experiences and horrible experiences at the same store. it's not worth the risk to me anymore.
Quote from PordaPoddy :
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)
...
you always have the best comebacks.

very true about teasing = flirting poorly.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
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.

DBF is getting the kids meal at McD's to collect all the HK figures to gift her for her upcoming birthday shake head
ur friend is doing it for the attention. obviously she is looking out for HK - hating something = an easy way create a personality. sadly, if the guys stopped teasing her about it, she'd probably stop reacting to HK bc it wouldn't be getting her the attention she craves. it's a downward spiral... the guys should stop fueling it.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
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.
Iagree i'm not a fan of denim on denim. i would do denim jacket over a dress, colored pants, khakis, or black/white pants.

GH - try it over those ivory cords! that would be cute. as for the lace jacket - i wore it with a pencil skirt to work. i would also wear it with jeans. it can go both ways - i like it bc of this!

heart that dress! i found it in my size a couple of times but decided against it. the one i found in store had some makeup stains and i didn't feel like trying to get it out. the one online i didn't snatch up but i wasn't too bummed about it. it's a cute dress but it wasn't as flattering on me as the red/black or turquoise/black dress with a similar ruched skirt.

is this in 32 instead of 34? i find there are certain styles where my sister size fits better. i think gorgeous was one of those styles! (also, incredible, dream angels and possibly others)

also a "$98" bag clearanced at $15. the sides and handle are "leather". front and back are studded canvas. i am not fully convinced, but i like the % off and the size. these size bags are actually very big for me, but many times i don't have a choice when i need to carry books and papers.

I just tried it on and it looks ah-freakin-mazing Whee. I was worried because I didn't try it on! I'm excited! It was practically free Whee!

I say it's a keeper. Not an everyday bag but big bags do come in handy sometimes.

the necklace is from exp. $45 retail. i had more jewelry in that order, a few got cancelled immediately, one cancelled at ship confirm. it was in the invoice, but not in the ship confirm, thankfully they caught that and i didn't have to report it as missing.

I sure hope not. With VS' thinner shirts and Express as well, what are we going to wear now?! :e ek: 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!
You're lucky you have an unlimited supply from years past. It seems quality is going downhill everywhere. I had to replace my entire wardrobe last year, so everything is from recent stock. I've been happy with most things I've bought at Express. Some of their tops/tees & cardigans are too thin & one pair of jeans is fraying after a few wears. I'm afraid to wash anything, but won't wear anything w/o washing it first. I guess we'll have to be more selective about what we order.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

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.
Quote from PordaPoddy :
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 :co verlaf: . You can use jewelry to dictate the dressy-ness of it all. IMO, costume or statement = casual
It sounds like we were all thinking along the same lines for the lace jacket. I'll have to find a top & jewelry that go well with it. Since we're going to be with DS & his GF, I thought a semi-dressy jean outfit would be better than a curve hugging dress. laugh out loud

Thanks for the suggestions for the denim jacket also.

As a side note, I wonder why they pair two denim garments on the websites so frequently, when none of us seem to like the look. I thought it was just me.

Thanks

Quote from kurips :

i've paired the lace with a barely boot jeans. the denim i don't have because i didn't like it on me.
nod I was thinking of pairing it with barely boot jeans also. One pair of my Express jeans is starting to look frayed after a handful of washes. I can't remember which w/o seeing them. I hope it's not those.

I haven't even tried the ivory cords on yet. Facepalm I'm going to try 3 weeks worth of orders on for DH this weekend, because I need to return some things. The past few weekends I haven't felt well & trying on clothes was the last thing I wanted to do. I'll definitely try the ivory cords with the jacket, when I try them on tonight or tomorrow. That's a good suggestion.

Iagree where's the Photo? i've always loved that dress!

it's a tad short on me too tho. i can get away with it and i don't really mind, but it's def not a conservative length on me. maybe if i see it in store i'll grab it, tho i'm doubtful i'll find it again.
