New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Since the Social Threads seem to have been done away with, this is the new home of the VS Social Thread. We talk about everything from VS to Express to Beauty to Coupons to Hot Deals...and of course, our personal lives.

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Ah! Sorry Bonk me. I was like thinking ...didn't I say I got the red? laugh out loud

I went for the black. I liked the look of the black and white stripe plus it's pretty unique, but I really can't wear stripes because I literally get a headache looking down or at myself. I hope the black isn't too plain and weird with that line across the waist. Will have to see, but I think it will be nice. Black is always slimming.

That's pretty annoying about prices going back and forth from clearance. I've never noticed.
i think that dress was made to be belted. Smilie that could solve the black stitch across the waist!

I think so too! But I don't do belts across the waist really. I have a small white one from another dress I can use for this. I can't wait to get it!

I haven't been one for the TOM's style (tho I like the idea and all), but what do we think of these new crotchet ones [nordstrom.com]? Scratchhead I think I might like them.

Quote from nerdicus :
i think a lot of you were raving about that dress so i finally decided i should try it. will the s work for me?

i'm really hoping to be able to return/rebuy some of my items with my reward. it'd be a waste of a reward otherwise.

can't believe that kissing placket shirt is back to regular price! wtf?! i hate that they do that! fwiw i really like that shirt, but it's a bit snug across the chest in xs. you big chested ladies prob wouldn't be able to wear it.
I think so. I have the XS, but could have done the S too and I don't remember it losing too much shape. I think I posted pics of both & you girls helped me decide? I don't remember Doh

Secret I have that shirt in an XS OMG I like it too. I think my chest borrows some fabric from the bottom flowy-ness and that's why it works? Dontknow I think it's the same cut as the other high-lo tanks I have from them. I have the EasyTee in the same print, but the print is messed up (white spots where the dye didn't take).

It is a dizzying array of stripage... in that case the stripe peplum top might be the better choice for the pattern but I know you don't do peplum

Porda - For PA online, IME, they go by the order date, not the ship date. I also added the one-time policy on PA.

Anyone know what happens when you use a reward and something goes OOS? DohI seem to remember someone mentioning that happening to them, but don't remember how it turned out for them. TIA

OK. They told me otherwise, but order date is probably correct (and better safe than sorry). Smilie Thanks.

boo someone took it already.

herringbone pants came bis for a bit. i wonder what size it was. skirt avail in 6.

i got the welt pocket skirt in blue, 2. it does a weird thing at the hips. i think my hips are too small for the skirt. it doesn't look terrible, but it's not amazinf.

also got my herringbone skirt in 2. it fits nicely, but the 0 is more flattering. i'm not sure which to keep!

I don't think it happened to anyone, we were just wondering what if? For coupons, they'd let you find a replacement within 48 hrs. Did you get a cancellation for an order with reward?

IIRC, I had an order 1 day past order date, and they didn't PA. May be YMMV?

ETA: I also added credits to you for starting the wiki! Thanks!

it was from store. probably not. does the 2 look funny on your hips? i find the 2 to be a tad loose but the 0 is more form fitting but would probably look bad if i gained 5 lbs. i'm keeping the size 2 pants vs size 0 for the same reason.

it looks fine to me. actually better than the more structured skirts they have that seem to have some hip expectations.

i didn't realize you got the pants as well. is the waist garterized like the skirt? i think i remember it having a black waistband, but i may be mistaken.

yeah i ordered the pants in 0 during the big restock, then found them in 2 in store (there were so many sizes actually!). i also got the teal herringbone pants in 0 in store (the 2 was loose on the waist but form fitting on legs kuz it's barely bootcut style).
no, it doesn't have a black waistband. it's a simple columnist slim flare.
here's a photo:

oh that's the one i was stalking! laugh out loud i have it in xs, navy right now but i'm returning it i think. i finally got a pink, s! i hope it's not a huge difference in size. the shoulders are narrow for me on the xs - it fits but very snug and doesn't fit if i wear a bulky sweater underneath. i reeeeeally wanted the pink one.
they had the red too. i was tempted to get it for the $!

Quote from kurips :
some pics
the fit and flare dress - i added an off-center belt. i am unsure about it. i can't decide if i look like a little girl or a grandma in it.
the voluminous skirt - not bad with untucked shirt controlling it some.
the herringbone set - i used the same shirt, please excuse that laugh out loud that is me on the way to an imaginary job interview.
i love the suit on you!
