haven't you learned not to use rewards on online clearance? Bonk

that's the number i've talked to a few times to get points added. they were the ones that told me about the whole multiple orders a day not showing up on the next points account phenomenon. i used to call them multiple times to get points added - i like going through them bc they do it for you on the spot rather than calling the 24 hr cs (they put in a ticket for it and it may or may not be added).
...
I know, I know... Hide It's hard to bring myself to use them on things that aren't on last chance clearance. If I see the items in clearance later, I'll be trying to do the math on whether I could have gotten a better deal, esp if they still have their tags on Embarrassment The 24 hour number has never mentioned a ticket to me - they either transfer me over or say I'll have to call back when CR is open. Guess they weren't going the extra mile for me Teehee Raglan sleeve blouse is cute... they definitely found a box and have at least 10!

i am thinking of purging my closet by removing those that don't fit well (esp those that i've "outgrown") or those that aren't my style anymore. do yall think i should still keep them stored away for if i slim down or if i like the style again? do those really happen? laugh out loud
Agree w/ Nerdi, dump the style no's for sure. If they get re-incarnated into current fashion trends, chances are it will be slightly different and you'll like the newer version better. nod

For me, my bonus points are supposed to be credited to me on the 20th at the latest. That's supposedly 5 days from date of purchase of 2/11 Scratchchin
I don't know what to think of their tabulations. I just got an email saying bonus points for Jan was for accessories only and not the total purchase...whatever. I got credited 6K points woot
Quote from red333 :
Random express question. A few days ago, I ordered a pair of Mia jeggings. I don't know anything about the Mia fit. I ordered them in size 4. I thought they looked cute because they had zippers on the leg. Does anyone know how the mia fit is? I noticed that they're not on the website...Thanks for drawing my attention to the NFL stuff, some things I've had my eye on too are BIS !
I did not listen to kurpee about how much she liked the high-waisted fit... but after trying them- I see how with jeggings- it's that high waist that will keep them from being pulled down when you sit and I like that b/c when I wear tighter jegging styles, I'm in a constant tug of war with my pants. Belts be damned. Also- yes the leg opening at the ankles were incredibly small EEK! , I would probably have preferred the size up, tho I don't know if the leg hole gets much bigger...

Also, he made reservations at one of the nicest restaurants in MN on Sunday, so I'll probably wear that lace express dress.
Is this the solid black ruched dress? If so, that's my DH's favorite dress on me. It's really sexy.

Quote from kurips :
DH had some chocolates delivered for me :w hee: Totally a surprise because we don't really give each other gifts on valentines. I didn't have something for him :coverl af:

Good for you - a better occasion to wear the dress!
Yummy chocolates! drool

Quote from azn1x6flame :

DBF bought me the ones from World Market and I made them today. They are okay. They smell better than they taste (to me).

They actually taste better cold than hot. They have some weird stale aftertaste or something strange to them to me.
It's disappointing that the pancakes aren't great. We haven't made them yet.


Quote from IceyNiki :
I just tried on Prabal Gurung For Target Dress w/ Full Skirt [target.com]. It is cute. It reminds me of a style the First Lady would wear. It is a nice thick material (poly). There are pockets on the side, which typically I do not like. However, I do not really mind on this dress. I am on the fence because I do not like high necklines, but I love the full skirt. Decisions, decisions.
Cute!

Quote from nerdicus :
it's very cute that you guys got each other the same thing. My dh showed up at home with roses.. That was nice of him. : )

It only makes the farty noise in my left foot (the one that's more squished). This happens in quite a few of my shoes and only in the left foot.

The 7.5 is probably a better option anyway. I was thinking since it's leather it'll stretch, but it's pretty snug today.
Roses are always nice. nod

My DH & I do stuff like that all the time. We're too cheap to buy expensive stuff most of the year, but go all out for Christmas. Christmas before last, he opened one of his gifts & died laughing. I saw why, after I opened one of mine. We had bought each other a expensive pillows. That was the only time in 22 years that we've bought pillows for Christmas, & we did it the same year. laugh out loud

I hope you have better luck with the 7.5 shoes. It sounds like our shoes make that noise for different reasons. Changing the size may work for you. I don't think it would have made a difference with the shoes I have.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Thanks. It did help : ) I used the red velvet pancake mix. It definitely begs for some whipped cream or cream cheese - inspired frosting. DH liked them, but I don't think I'll get them again except for V-day. I made an entirely pink/red breakfast. It was a little Dr. Seussian :teeh ee: I dyed the eggs pink and made a pinkish-purple smoothie too. DH took care of dinner, making rack of lamb (rosemary/garlic crust) along with a mushroom risotto :lick lips: What did you guys end up doing?
A Seussian Valentine's Day breakfast is a great idea. Did you make the cream cheese topping for the pancakes? That's my plan. I love the combo of red velvet & cream cheese icing. I'm going to make it a little thinner than typical icing to drizzle on the pancakes.

Your dinner sounds delicious. Much better than ours. DH brought home champagne, shrimp cocktail, stuffed clams & stuffed oysters. I count calories during the week, so he tried to keep them low. I ate 2 pieces of the candy he bought, so I did splurge more than usual.

Quote from red333 :

Also, Valentine's Day was amazing. We went to this wine bar that we've been to a few times, and for some reason, they expanded their menu to include Japanese "ume" (plum) wine. I haven't seen this on a restaurant menu anywhere in MN. I was able to get a glass of it, which is something I haven't had since I lived in Japan. This was unbelievably exciting for me. Seriously, what an amazing Valentine's Day.
I'm glad you evening was a good as anticipated. I don't think I've ever tried plum wine. I'll have to give it a try at the sushi restaurant we're eating at tomorrow.

Mia is my favorite jean cut at Express. I have the black zip leggings. As nerdi said, the legs are tighter than most Express leggings. Mine are also shorter. They touch the top of my shoes & I'm only 5' 1 1/2". I ordered the grey ones, but returned them. Unfortunately, I can't remember why we didn't like them now. Embarrassment

Was this bag [victoriassecret.com] ever free?
That's my favorite VS swim tote to date. It's a great size & I love the side pockets. They're great for sunblock, hand sanitizer, chapstick, etc.

it's a crocs. will be $24 after the discount. i decided to return. i have crocs that i end up hating when i wear because my feet would sweat. i thought they look cute but maybe only because my feet are still dry laugh out loud this crocs' soles do feel more substantial and heavy than previous ones, that's why i'm thinking i like them.

Called Express about $50 reward loss. This CR rep checked with online dept. to confirm OOS item in order and said that it should automatically be refunded back to my account around mid-next week. Scratchhead A different day, a different answer shake head Oh well, as long as it comes back.

Do you do MIA fit in the boot/barelyboot jean styles too? I think I'll just use that fit for skinnies b/c otherwise, I like the low-rise hang on my hips jeans.

The eggs looked a little gross. Sick Didn't make the cream cheese topping - didn't think of it when we were at the store last, so we just used syrup and sprinkle of powdered sugar for color contrast. Your drizzlation sounds yummy Licklips

It really was awesome. DH does such a good job with lamb (which terrifies me as far as meats are concerned). I wish it were better for you. We stink at the "healthier meats" - like turkey or chicken ... we do alright with fish. Enjoy sushi! Figure out your outfit yet?

i am more inclined to believe your first reward loss answer is more correct than the 2nd.

i had the bootcut mias from long time ago. my newer mias (i think i have 2) are jeggings. but i'd take higher rise over low on any style in general. i think my straighter body makes me prefer that because jeans tend to slide down on my waist.

Does Express put the jackets (casual not suit jackets) on sale for 30% off often? It seems like the dresses are constantly on sale, but I never really paid attention to the jackets. I didn't start buying them, until the most recent clearance. Sadly, I've become a bit obsessed & want many more. Teehee If I can get 30% off + coupons, I'll wait to order.

y'all were right - they mis-charged me for partial shipping on a vs order. it's really strange that the adjustment/refund showed up before the actual charge tho!

I prefer the Mia cut in all jeans. They're more flattering on my booty than the Stella & Zelda cuts are. The one exception was the grey jeans, but I can't remember why I didn't like them. It may have been the color.

Healthy meals are definitely harder. Fat is usually where the flavor comes from. laugh out loud I prefer fish/seafood, then poultry. I like lamb & pork more than beef. DH prefers beef, when we eat out. He doesn't get much of it at home. Embarrassment

I still haven't chosen my outfit. I put a few things on the bed to try, but haven't gotten motivated to try them yet. shake head

I got my pink fur collar coat! It came in as planned after all.. I was worried for nothing. Blush it's a bit wide but I think it's ok. The xs is a tad snug... The s is still snug in the shoulders but is wide as well. Oh well. I like this color a lot!

Hi ladies wave

Sorry I haven't been around. Azn & Porda - I'll ship your stuff out tomorrow, it's been sitting here all week, but it's been a really rough week.

I lost my job today. Literally because my boss doesn't like me. He said some people told him I was talking about him and when I expressed an interest to transfer departments due to my CRAZY workload that was 24 hours a day and my concern over my career path, he told me he had nothing for me and fired me. I am still stunned. I almost don't know who I am without my job.

I was excited for 2013 to get here. Now I wish it'd go away Frown
