When is the new angel card stuff starting? I remember Icey mentioned getting an email. I still haven't received any info. Y'all think it's everyone or just a test like the sexy rewards?

Thanks for all the help regarding funeral dress code girls hugI have not been to any funeral in this country yet (and I hope I won't need to go to anymore in future). I really don't know any other details rather than going there and meeting the family.
I am going to play safe and wear black pants with black jacket and may me navy or black top inside. I think that should work? what do you all think Scratchchin

Quote from nerdicus :

i like the mango version better actually. perhaps it would actually be long enough for me to wear as a dress! :lo l: i like that it has a zipper.

you are totally correct in the conditioned shopping. tho i'm more drawn to deal-shopping than point-based shopping - i.e. i probably buy more from vs during src time or during the holiday gwp time. the points are just an added bonus that seem to occur during these other deal times (i.e. triple points in nov overlapped nicely with src's). i buy a lot, but i return a lot also... the express card is really good bc of the FS you get once you make a-list (and it's not very hard to get a-list).

thanks for the sizing info! i guess i should just go into the store and look. :lol : that would be easier.

i remember researching funeral wear a few years ago when i went to a coworker's. i think to be safe a conservative black dress (with sleeves - but it's cold where you are anyway) would be fine. probably "church wear" but in black (or possibly subdued colors - i read that a lot of places don't really require black anymore, but i would go with black just to be safe. definitely no bright colors) if you don't have a suitable black dress i'd think black dress pants or pencil skirt with black top would be fine too.

About Express CC, how much do i need to spend before i qualify for A-list? TIA hug

I too like Mango version better, it is more dressy and less tunic like but I still can't believe how similar the designs are EEK! I would buy it but recent sale prices have spoiled me I think Stick Out Tongue

For JCP sizing I have only bought brand American living and MNG mango, so size could vary for other brands of JCP. Its only good if you can check it in store.

JCP giftcards are almost always 20% off on plasticjungle.com , you might want to check it before buying from jcp, more discount Whee

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I actually don't have that problem with CCs. I just buy what I want and to me, it's basically like a debit card, I don't buy what I can't afford and pay off when my bill comes. I hardly notice the double points on certain categories, because I don't check, but this reminds me I need to hound Express for my double points on dresses today. But I see the great thing is - I'm pretty much getting paid to shop : P

What nerdi said about funeral dress code is right :nod :
I think it is really smart thing that you are doing. I am Flex to resist such offers hence avoiding the temptation in the first place.

Quote from GoHeels :
I don't like the splotches in the fabric on that dress. The one we bought doesn't have that, does it? It's possible I didn't even notice it. :facepa lm:

CCs make me spend more, which is why I try to avoid them. I needed a new wardrobe last year, so getting an Express CC made sense. I'm afraid I'd buy more of everything from VS than I need, if I got a CC.

I'm not Catholic, so I don't know the proper protocol for their funerals, but I try to always go with black or navy blue. Where I'm from, people don't necessarily stick to dark clothes anymore. I just feel like it's more appropriate. In NYC, they're probably less relaxed with the dress code...
I am not christian or catholic. Thanks for dress suggestion. I think I am going with black pant suit and dark blouse inside.
You are right the Express dress has no splotches in it.
Just like you I haven't yet gotten VS CC High Five

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. :comfort : . 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 Scratchchin ), then while they might feed you afterward, be sure to eat beforehand - it can go for a while.
Thanks for details reply, specially about "what not to wear" at funeral.
I had no idea of having food at the end of funeral. I would personally not feel comfortable eating after a funeral. But I think I will see and take it easy, after all its not about me. As long as I go there I think I will feel better. Any suggestion if we should bring anything when we attend the funeral mass? TIA hug

If I recall, it is supposed to begin in April. To keep the VIP status, I was to make a purchase by an early date in March...maybe the 10th. I already made purchases, so I wasn't concerned regarding that. It could be a test market thing, especially since everyone did not receive notification.

Hi, girls! Good news for those who like Angel Fantasies bras. Saw this sign that says they're now $29.50 in store today. Not sure if it's all stores though, this is in SF shopping centre. So maybe you could call your store and confirm first. Smilie

your funeral outfit sounds perfect. Smilie

i went to jcp yesterday to try to find my shirt, but it was like a needle in a haystack search. i think i will just order online for ship to store. my store is remodeling or something so there were a lot of tarps and stuff everywhere. i couldn't even find my worthington tee.

do you know what happens if we pay with gc and then make a return? i'm not sure i'll need to spend very much... probably just 1 or 2 shirts. i will check out plastic jungle tho!

for express cc, you need to get 7500 points to qualify for A-list. that equates to $500 in spending, but i believe bonus points count (but i have not verified this) so you could potentially spend a lot less if you buy during bonus point times.

i tried ironing the express tulip hem dress. it's really weird to iron at the ruching, but that was where it was sticking out. i did the best i could and afterwards it looked better, but there was still extra fabric that looked like it didn't belong. it's still going back.

i have another one coming though. maybe that one is made better. otherwise, i may need to try XS. Frown
