All of my Friday orders are in Smilie

I finally bought the stretch lace dress that everyone seems to have. I bought it in XS, and it seriously fits like a dream.

I also bought the sequin racer back tank dress in S. I probably should have bought it in XS, but it just looks weird on me. Return.

I also bought three pairs of leggings that were all some sort of knit. Perfect for MN. I love them. Keep.

Finally, I bought thishttp://www.express.com/long-sleev.../index.pro dress below on clearance for $25 in S. For some reason, the one that I got fits just perfect. I didn't like the other one that I had previously bought. I'm going to think about this one a little more...

Oh, I placed another separate order for the sequin peplum top that was on clearance. It doesn't look anything like the picture. It's really glittery...and scratchy. There is also black fabric beneath the arms that looks weird but is likely to prevent the material from scratching. Return.
thanks for the reviews! not sure which stretch lace dress you're talking about, but thanks for the info on the sequin peplum top! i was eyeing it. weird that that dress fits you perfectly the 2nd time around. would you be against Photo so we can see it? it looks weird on me and i'd like to see how it's supposed to look.

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)
Yep, it was the 32 instead of the 34 that fit best. I've decided I'm getting rid of 2 of my 6 Gorgeous bras that I don't like the fit. I don't know what stopped me from trying the 32 instead at the time. I know I only started trying 32 when the Very Sexy didn't fit me well anymore. Why VS Chairbash At least it helps me with the "1 in and 1 out" rule. I'm trying my best to stick to that..somehow...I want to get rid of the rest of the Gorgeous, but some of the prints are tooo cute!

Now, the 32 works for Body, Fabulous and Very Sexy. And Gorgeous, but that doesn't count anymore since it's discontinued. Dream Angels always fit strangely on me. The first batch when they released it fits like a dream, but then...went downhill. Le sigh.

Quote from GoHeels :
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.
What shocked me with how thin things were getting were jeans. The last pair I bought for a store at the mall was like....10+ years ago and it was regular jean material, but now, they're all thin. I just hope my Express Stellas will wear well!
Quote from GirlOnTheBeach :
I also got a white studded clutch for $10. (I wish it was a little bigger, but I'll keep it anyways), some cute black sunglasses for $5, and a super crazy long dangly beaded necklace that was orig. priced at $69.90.... I got it for $2.99. laugh out loud I will keep it just for that fact. haha Even if I wear it once, I got my moneys worth!
Wow! Sounds like you made out pretty swell! Nice deals!
Quote from PordaPoddy :
start the spreadsheet!
NP. I can now see how DH ended up with VS on his credit history after 2 orders in his name (he got it successfully expunged). I'm happy it didn't tank my credit score! Credit Sesame also told me my score went up and that there was a change in my credit usage (I'm spending less on a CC). I highly recommend using that free service. Smilie
Does Credit Sesame tell you what's going on with your CC and such real time via email or something? Or do you log in to check? I still have it open in one of my tabs and want to use it soon.

Me too Sadwalk I guess they keep marketing to the same people and the market is saturated since we all have the Gorgeous and they need to come out with something with yet another new name.

there are some express jeans that are not thin. i bought some in july that are thick, and also some that are thin. it depends on the style! :annoying: it's hard to tell when ordering online.

hopefully they'll release the same gorgeous bra under a new name since so many loved it.

Since you're about to order them...I believe Porda and I are the same size, 7. Not sure if you wanna hold off til she confirms, but just FYI. Not sure if you're going for the Unifyy, but for those are the measurements for that pair.

Kurpee, I love that necklace and bag you posted!! I almost jumped on the bag, but decided at the last minute that I didn't need it.

I got my orders today too. I am SO irritated because I ordered the sharkbite dress in black, thinking it would be cute to wear to work in the spring/summer. Well....the one they sent me is maroon. Meaning I cannot wear it to work. Mad I prob wouldn't wear it much otherwise, so it's going back.

This dress [express.com] is cute....def will keep. It looks best with a wide belt.

I also got a white studded clutch for $10.

i am gonna try mine with a wide belt!

nope, not at all. i do it all the time if that makes you feel any better laugh out loud

I wear the statement jewelry with plain pieces. You don't want to do too much.

when your neck is bare and your top is simple, you can wear bigger necklace. when the neckline is high, longer necklace. if i do one big piece, other accessories are small.

Oh ok. Yeah I just wanted to know if she got her size or if it ran big or small. I think I'm 1/2 size bigger than you guys. Thanks!

Haha me too, but for some reason I felt bad about it all of a sudden. I tried my ballerina dress that's similar with a wide belt and it looked much better.

My Friday orders are in and surprisingly everything looks accounted for. I'm relieved.

I also got this yesterday. Minus leather and fabric tube dress. Paid $25 last friday for it. It's tight around my boobs. They can hardly breathe. I will probably keep it.

It's raining now. Not sure if I should still venture out to a mall, and if so, which one. I'll try stuff on first I guess.

there is the lace one shoulder. pretty dress but the zipper wants to poke out and it runs down the side.

that little bump on my waist on the side with the sleeve is the zipper poking out.
