New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

the wedding's in july so i'm not sure when i'd return. it may be after that.

i think the tulip dress would be a great cover up. not to fuel this shopping obsession... :l ol:

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.
If that's the case, he needs to get a life. I like to look nice for my DH & don't pay any attention to other men. If they're oogling me, they're wasting their time. It's a good bet I won't even notice them. laugh out loud

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Sorry to hear about the lady... with pancreatic, they go so quick they don't have much time to prepare themselves much less their family. :com fort: . Unfortunately, I've been to 3 Catholic funerals in the last 2 years... this is what I observed: Dark subdued colors (like the others have said) - all black is not necessary. In general, I think you're supposed to aim for somber and respectful- so no crazy or distracting patterns. If you're going to wear a skirt, aim for knee-length and paired with nylons/tights (it's cold and you'd be the only one with bare legs - in summer it was different). With a top - no cleavage and no see-thru. Also- for jewelry, it's not the time to make a statement with that "statement necklace"(big chunky distracting thing). You can PM me if you want to know more about what these things are like. If it's going to be a full mass (which I think is more likely with a sudden passing like this :scra tch: ), then while they might feed you afterward, be sure to eat beforehand - it can go for a while.
I have a top in that color, carbon is a very dark gray :no d:

Target has these in calypso coral [target.com]
Old Navy has these [gap.com] . I expect Gap or Old Navy to come out with some coral jean shorts soon. Them and Banana Republic outlet are where I got my colored decent-length shorts last year... priced b/w $15-20 on sale.
I'm looking for something like the Target shorts. I really need to get the Debit card for FS. Thanks for the Gap/ON/BR recommendation. I didn't think to check there either. Most of the stores that I shopped at in recent years don't carry 2s.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
More gray tops (gah, I'm so distracted right now : ( )
Fredericks -light gray on the far left color box [fredericks.com]
Hanes Black Pleated (too bad the gray is heathered) [hanes.com]
Hanes Black cap sleeve [hanes.com]
Body Central Black cap sleeve scoop neck (are those her nipples?! :ee k: ) [bodyc.com]
The light gray from Frederick's was the only one I could find.
Body Central is really cheap. Are their clothes any good?

I just picked up a pair of XS express yoga pants and S exercise shorts. There was another pair that was cropped that I REALLY wanted but they took off the site really early. Maybe they are finding boxes of the sport stuff. I really hope so because I love their sport clothes!
I do too! See any petites?

Lucky you. I tried to order the XS Yoga pants as soon as I saw them around 5:15, & got a message that 0 were available.

It's so confusing to me, b/c I thought the one in your link was the side-boober it comes further in at the neck, cutting away at the pit and shoulder... but I triedthis one [express.com] and it seems to have a side boob issue ... anyone?

I ordered a few of the peplums that retail at the $25 price point. I didn't like the fit and returned them. I'm not sure about the side boob. It could have just been I liked the others better.

I'm tempted to buy some of the cheap tees at BC to wear around the house with yoga pants.

I just tried that peplum top on for you. I have it in Coral size S. There wasn't a side boob problem at all. I did have to try a few bras to find one that didn't show on the sides. This was the case for the $39.90 black lace peplum top I just tried on also. The black lace top showed more bra than this one. I also have that problem with the lace yoke tees in XS & S. Dontknow

The top you linked is very comfortable. It's also longer than the black lace peplum on me. I want to order more colors. First, I need to buy some bras that are cut lower on the sides (near my arms). Unfortunately, I don't know which bras to order.

That's what I was thinking.

In case any of you didn't read my reply to Porda, I need some bras that are cut lower on the sides (near my arm) that won't show underneath tops. Both peplum tops & the lace yoke tees I've bought recently show my bra on the side. It shows for different reasons though. The arms are wide on the lack yoke tee allowing the bra to show underneath my arm. Naturally, the S is worse than the XS, but I think I may like the fit of the S better everywhere else. I'm undecided. For the peplum tops, there isn't enough fabric to cover the side of the bra. Any suggestions for bras with less side coverage & straps that are a little closer together?

I just wear a plain strapless and it looks like an undershirt to the eye.

My favorite strapless post surgery. I don't have many. I can not wear the vs bras I've tried. The natori looks looks like a seamless cami tank if it shows around the armpit.

what size lace peplum top did you get? i got s but i didn't get a chance to try the xs. i feel like the s is a little big, but the xs may be a little small.

Did anyone report on the upcoming GWP?

March 26-31
Free Umbrella with $65 purchase

It is VS Pink & Black with Victoria's Secret written in Hot Pink. Very cute. You cannot tell from the way the model is holding it if it is a stick or compact. Last time VS offered the umbrella, there were two different ones: stick in-store & compact online (or vice versa). It was in with my Birthday card mailer. Of course, no coupon necessary.

For the past two years, there has been a GWP Tote with $75 purchase when I was on my B-day vaca. Still waiting to seev if that pops up this year.
