i also love this and it was cheap with 30% plus coupon.
That's pretty. I don't remember seeing it on the site. I'll be off to look for it in a minute. Biker

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
i was thinking a beachy lunch dress. it would be a cute cover too.
We can drive over to the beach for a few hours. I'm always looking for a cute dress that's appropriate as a cover-up & to wear to a restaurant on the way home. We don't go to really nice restaurants in beach clothes, but I don't want to go in anywhere looking like a bum.

Quote from nerdicus :
ok just ordered some tops from vs. we'll start with that. :l ol: there were some in clearance - what color do y'all think 'carbon' is? black or really dark grey?

thanks GH - you're right - the XS would be too narrow in the shoulders for me. i may end up using the nordstrom one that doesn't have defined shoulders bc a lot of shirts are narrow in the shoulders for me. (this is what i get for swimming every summer when i was young...)
I agree with alvs. It's probably dark grey.

I wish swimming all day would have helped me. We had a pool growing up. I would spend 10 to 12 hours a day swimming in the summer. It didn't help me any. shake head I also have American Indian in my ancestry. You would think that would have helped. Most of my sisters do have wide shoulders. I guess my mom & dad had exhausted most of their genes by the time I came along. Stick Out Tongue The only thing left for me was my dad's Irish ancestory.laugh out loud

:coverl af: that's prob not what you're looking for but thought i'd link it anyway. : )

i ordered that top in all the colors. i'm glad i did - i wasn't going to get the grey but added it at the last minute. it looks so cute on alvs.
i forgot what size i got tho.
Unfortunately, those shorts wouldn't hide my belly. I need shorts that zip to camouflage it. Teehee

That top's so cute. There are many I want now. I'm hoping for a good deal on tops soon.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
The peplums are weird. I can not do the side boob versions. This cut I like though.

The minus the leather is black and it looks like the other black pieces. Maybe most like the blazer since it doesn't have any of hardware. i don't think their minus leather looks cheap. I don't think it looks neimans marcus leather expensive like a vince piece would either but that's expected. i think express does minus leather well though. a lot of stores's fake leather looks awful.
I haven't seen the minus-the-leather blazer, but I do like my minus-the-leather jackets. I'll probably order it & hope it looks good in the chest area. My side boob problem is much worse than yours. Yours is all boob. A lot of mine is fat. Embarrassment

few more express dresses. i got a lot of packages yesterday. i had ups and usps on hold over the weekend.



so happy to finally get my blue dress. love this dress so much.

sweterdress- i'm undecided about this one.
Your blue dress looks great! Whee I like the sweaterdress on you too.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
tulip dress. i love this dress. they come out a great price when you get them on sale with a coupon. ordered the red last night for less than $20.

Now, I want one of those. Facepalm I was resisting, because I don't wear dresses often.

Quote from nerdicus :
who irons their knit cotton stuff?! i def don't!

maybe i'll try it again in store. i did like the fit - it was comfy and wasn't too short, tho with the tulip skirt in the front it may get a bit short when i walk.
That's one great thing about living in Florida. No ironing! Humidity is a natural steamer. I always have to dust off my iron, when my sister come to visit. laugh out loud They still iron in NC. shake head

I love the tulip dress. I dress it down with just flip flops and wear it around the house sometimes.

I meant to mention that I ended up loving my black jacket with a white lapel. I found a top in my closet with tags still on that looked great with it. It was like this one http://www.express.com/slub-embel.../index.pro, except it had black, grey, white, w/gold sequins. I tucked the shirt into barely boot dark jeans & wore a wide black belt so you couldn't see the top of the jeans or where the shirt tucked in. Since the top had gold sequins, I didn't wear a necklace, but wore dangling hoop gold earrings.

Naturally, my DS wasn't happy with what I was wearing. He also asked why I rolled my hair. I told him he wouldn't be happy unless I wore a moo-moo & put my hair up in a bun. He said that would be fine. Rolleyes2 He made sure to tell his dad he looked nice. Annoyed

oh i thought you had those! i didn't realize yours were only from years ago.

i will let you know. Smilie but i have nothing to compare it to as i don't have any of their old ones...
Nope, the old essential tees I have are like either 100% cotton or 95% cotton, 5% spandex. These were like from 200x years shake head I haven't purchased any of their tees once they got rid of these. I am still kicking myself for not getting more colors and stocking up even more!

I iron my knit stuff Hide Like alvs, it's so crammed that anything and everything gets wrinkled. I even iron my regular tshirts. Hide

He doesn't want anyone hitting on his hot mama! I hate it when my mom dresses frumpy. Even my brother agrees! laugh out loud I'm always trying to get her to be more stylish.

Now that you mention it, that tulip dress may be good to wear over my bathing suit in restaurants, esp. in the early spring & fall in N. Miami. Scratchchin Just what I need. A way to justify buying more clothes I don't need. laugh out loud

Is that no longer on the site? I couldn't find it. Confused

That's what I told him. I liked for my mom to fix up. It made me feel good for people to tell me I had a pretty mom.

i think the tulip dress would be a great cover up. not to fuel this shopping obsession... laugh out loud

maybe it's a girl vs guy thing. similar to me wanting to dress up for DH but him not liking it and wanting me to keep it at home where only he sees. maybe your DS doesn't want others oogling his mom.

you can return anything no questions asked. keep the tag + receipt tho if you want a refund. without it, you get lowest selling price on a jpc gc/merc credit.
They had it this way before they changed there prices and then they changed to 90 days and now they went back to no return time frame.

i just got these jessica simpson flats [macys.com] in the mail. i ordered them from macys during some sale - i paid 16.xx for them. they are sooooooo comfy!!! i'm so glad i got both colors - i may keep them both! they feel like little pillows on my feet - there's a LOT of cushioning. i only tried the 7.5 but it felt like the right size. i also ordered the 7 to try but will probably keep the 7.5. soooooo comfy!!!

speaking of plain black top, i ordered the tulip back tank [express.com] in black to try. i think you shorter folks may like it - the XS was too short on me but was otherwise very cute! i may get it in S. it's cheap and i really love the tulip back design, plus this one won't do that weird pulling thing at the chest. it runs a bit wide so the S may be too big for me but i'll try it. too bad it's gone from the site!
