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!

alvs, I didn't see your post until azn quoted it. I hope you made it on time & your DS is doing well. hug

Quote from azn1x6flame :
If you ordered anything this weekend or a couple days before, there's a $40 off $120, $30 off $90 and $10 off $30 coming in packages. I think that (33%) is a better deal than the 30% off + you can use rewards. This starts 3/3-3/17

Hope all goes well and a speedy recovery.
Thanks, that makes sense. I have a couple of those coupons. I don't know if I should order the $13.93 tees in case they sell out, or wait hoping for a tops sale to combine with the coupon. DH chose some shoes I'm definitely ordering. It helps that I have an additional 15% off code I can use tonight.

nerdi, would I need the lace shoulder top http://www.express.com/lace-shoul.../index.pro in XS or S? I'm thinking about using a reward on it, so I need to make sure I get the right size. I don't like really loose tops, but need to allow for shrinkage.

I'm also considering the tab sleeve tee http://www.express.com/tab-sleeve.../index.pro. Have any of you tried it on? I'm guessing I'll need a S in it.




I've only tried honey in tea. I mostly use Stevia. It's natural & calorie free. I'm sure honey would taste better. I'll check to see how many calories it has.



Wow, that must have been difficult. It was obviously love. heart
I like the lace shoulder v-neck in s, but tbh I didn't try it in xs. It may have fit me as well. The s was a loose fit for me but I think it's better for that top. I haven't tried the tab sleeve tee so I'm not sure how that runs.. Sorry. Frown

I did take a photo of myself in the lace sleeve tee in s. let me go get it to upload.

I also bought it in S, opposed to my usual XS. The shirt just lays better on me in S.

I got the fur collar coat in navy, s and it's cute! I can't keep 2 colors of this coat can I? laugh out loud

Also got the tulip hem dress in s. this seems to be the right size/length for me but there's an odd wrinkle/bump around the side of my waist, like right under the waist. It looks really weird! There's a bit of room which I like but that bump is weird!

Looks very nice and neat on you.

Do you still have a link to your pic with you in the black and blue ballerina dress? I remember it was really nice on you (which was why i ordered one too). I want to see it again to help me make up my mind on whether i want to keep mine or not. It makes my shoulder area look very weird.

Mine was a little different from the one that was offered online with the hi-lo skirt. Here is mine.

Looks like express went back to the boring lack of discounts. It's just as well...

Thankssss. Yeahhh, it's different! Your dress is short sleeve-ish. Mine's like a weird tank top. Yours looks much better. Oh mannnn I'm indecisive again LOLLLL

were you at glendale saturday also? that makes 2 or 3 weeks in a row when i ventured out there... this sat i did good and got there right at 10! the parking lot was empty. i thought the glendale express was nicer/more experienced but i think they've also turned snooty! i guess it just depends on the employee, not the store. i had a much nicer experience at santa anita later that day.

i agree with you about trying stuff on. you never really know how it's going to look on you until you try it on for yourself. i mean i've gotten pretty good at guessing what may be good and what wouldn't, but it's still hard without trying first.
laugh out loud was at Santa Anita on Saturday meeting up a friend. Thought of you while I was there. No limited at Glendale for me....need better than 40% off! Waiting for markdowns or 50% off promo (super rare close to no chance but I can dream. )

Ended up going to puente hills n montebello today w dbf on my day off. Celebrated vday again with a big chirashi bowl from akasaka, mango strawberry snow from class 302, n delicious dan dan mien for din drool food coma!
Quote from GoHeels :

I don't enter fitting rooms containing clothes either. It's safer to assume a room with clothes is occupied? I have asked an employee if a room is taken, if I stand there a long time & never see anyone enter.

No kidding. I crave sweets more than anything. If given a choice between cereal w/raisins or oatmeal with Stevia vs. a regular meal with nothing sweet, I'll take the cereal or oatmeal every time. Blush That's the reason I eat a lot of cereal, during the week. I limit calories, & would rather use them with foods containing some type of sugar. It's not a healthy way to eat, but sometimes we must make sacrifices.

I don't know why I have such an aversion to trying on clothes, but I always dread it. My arms, as well as the rest of me, are short. I'm also not as flexible as I was pre-arthritis. That makes it hard to zip clothes w/o help & some tops/dresses w/o zippers are hard to remove. I don't like coming out to ask DH for help in uni-sex fitting rooms. I'm strange, I know. Embarrassment
I'm thinking the fitting room thieves either think the room hasn't been cleaned out due to lazy Sa or they prob dont care about taking others rooms. If a fitting room is super messy then I assume it just wasn't attended to. If everything is hung neat then I usually find a different room.

I feel weird coming out of fitting rooms to show DBf clothes sometimes. I wouldn't be comfortable asking the Sa to zip me either laugh out loud I've been to vs's where I see women come out to show their cleavage to friends or the Sa in some vavavoom bras. OMG but I'm a little bit conservative
Quote from nerdicus :

Have you tried sweetening your oatmeal with honey? It's much healthier than sugar, and to me it tastes even better. I sweeten tea and oatmeal with honey and i prefer it over sugar. (I also don't love sugar tho - I rarely crave sugary things)

That makes sense why you don't like fitting rooms. I like trying things on in the c omforts of my own home a lot more than trying stuff on in store. If I had your limitations I would bring all things home to try as well.
I was contemplating adding cinnamon to oatmeal, but I actually don't mind the plain oatmeal taste Big Grin coworkers I know also use agave nectar?
