what constitutes "fashion apparel"? do bags count?

I think just clothing. I don't think the bags will count

I forgot about the checks bouncing.
I think the checks are ok now! I hope so! I have one I need to deposit.

I cashed my check in around Dec SRCs and it was fine

Also that high/low strapless does come with straps if anyone needs that. Plus even though it's got that elastic waist it doesn't have as much fabric as most of the others that express does so it looks a lot better on (me at least).

I really like both black and white dresses on you!

Ah jeez... in the eulogy, they said he worked the nightshift. Knowing me- you can guess what time I was up and calling the police...I think it was him. I watched too much of the service too- his widow wearing his ring around her neck, doubled over sobbing, son pushing the casket, bagpipes oye.. why do I do that to myself?

I've got the Red Velvet pancakes... hopefully those will perk up the mood V-day morning. Our plans are to stay in and cook, avoid the crowds same as Nerdi. Also- we prefer the regular menu at fancy restaurants... the "special menus" haven't turned out well for us when that was the only night the kitchen/chef made the dish. DH picked up lamb and I helped him pick me out some flowers at Trader Joe's.

I hope your Vday celebration will cheer you up

i thought that jacket would fit you beautifully! i'm glad it works for you. imo you can put it over jeans to dress it down a bit. (i would put just about anything over jeans, other than anything denim)

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to try it on with different tops & dark jeans. I hope I have a top the color of the lapel to see how that looks. DH likes this one better than the black lace. I'll probably wear it this weekend, if I can find a top & jeans that look good with it.

keep it unbuttoned

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that.

Hi everyone :wa ve:

I'm so happy I'm not completely obsessed with Express yet.

Jump on the bandwagon with us. We'll make room.

I just got ANOTHER reward, this time for $15. Now I have 3 rewards! Weird.

Nice!

Oh, also, my coat finally checked in in Sacramento. Hopefully that means I'm still getting it.

Nicely done! I'm so stingy with my rewards, I don't know if I can part with them if it's not something from clearance :me ssed:
Congrats on the probable Chicago move! No more plaid pants lady for you! (I remember them, think I had a pair too :cov erlaf: )
Thinking about it more - their suit jackets seem to fully close and not the more casual ones. I bought a black jacket that I was going to wear as a suit piece and it is a one-button, not-fully closed situation too, but I remember it wasn't from the 'suiting' section, it was from the "jackets" section. : O It's this one: Attachment 1786084

Cooking with DH should help get your mind off of it.

I hope you guys have a great day. :hugs: Let us know how the cupcakes turned out.

I think that top is too much for that jacket, but I'm not exactly a master fashionista.

speaking of shoes, i got 1 of the many pairs i ordered from amazon. it was these [amazon.com] in grey leather (they look almost mauve/lavender in some lighting). i put them on and couldn't believe how comfortable they were - ample padding and no hot spots! i think the heel is just the perfect height and i'm getting over the whole stiletto thing - i like how this heel is substantial without being chunky. plus the hidden platform makes it much more doable.

however, they make a farty noise when i walk tho - i think it comes from my left foot (which needs more room than my right foot). : ( should i keep them? i was thinking i should get them in black, but it's $80 in black and my grey was $45 or so. : ( what to do...

I wouldn't keep them. I have a pair of shoes that do that. They're really cute, so I kept them anyway. I've never once worn them for that reason. I've put them on a couple of times, then removed them as soon I was walked in them. That noise would be really embarrassing in public.

about to post pics of my express haul from yesterday :whe e:

this is really cute and kind of sexy/conservative!

I didn't like this dress that much on the site. Now, I want it.

It's really cute.

but they're sooo comfy... maybe i need to try 7.5 in them. i might just need insoles in the right shoe. i think a lot of my shoes do this bc my left and right are different sizes... when i squeeze into smaller size this tends to happen. my flats yesterday were making a weird noise too.

nice! if it was 2 i would have fought kurpee for it (and lost).

: Now that I know 4 looks bit lose and more profession on me I will order it

but idk what is special about this skirt. The reviewer said it made someone of size 8 look slimmer so i have good chances to rock it I guess

Quote from ALVSGIRLY

Is the white part see thru?
I have my eye on it since a long time. I will order it right away if it is not see thru

i was wondering the same thing.

also, did y'all know that nine west was started by vince camuto? no wonder i like the fit of nw and vc. from their amazon page:

Nine West was founded in 1978 by Jerome Fisher and Vince Camuto, after their wholesale shoe business Fisher Camuto Corporation was incorporated. Nine West was one of the first companies to utilize the expertise in leather and shoemaking in Brazil. By 1979, Camuto and Fisher had already sold over 1 million pairs of shoes.

it is fine as long as you wear the proper underwear. it is pretty thick fabric.
