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!

I'm not sure. I think they make up all snow days. Only Thursday and Friday were snow days. Monday was a holiday and Tuesday he had the tube surgery. He's bouncing off the walls though.

I recently started using the pink canvas but only for car trips
hmmm i put mine away because without a strap i would never use it. i never considered car trips but i do feel like the bag is too big to be without strap. they should have made it a smaller duffel. all i can really put in it is a stuffed animal or sleeping bag if i want to carry it without strap.

That's the reason I'm trying to avoid making returns. I'm not always Strong & sometimes keep things I never wear. I have clothes with tags from late last summer & fall. If I was as good about returning as you are, I'd probably take more chances buying clearance.

How did the XS fit in the chest area? I'm tempted to try it.
...
Thanks. I wish they would have waited to release some of these codes next month. I'll probably order, but I would have rather waited to get an SRC. Sadwalk
i have no room in my closets for all this stuff so i've just been returning things to make room! it's hard with express bc of the 90 day limit. sometimes i just need more time to decide!

i'm wary of keeping so many pencil skirts because i really don't wear them all that much to work (if i want to "dress up" i generally prefer pants). i got those 6 skirts and 4 pairs of pants from clearance, plus 2 jackets all for work purposes. that's 90+80+55. plus i got a bunch of tops (i think i'm keeping the lace yoke tee in 3 colors Facepalm plus 2 raglan sleeve tees, so that's 55 more) i know it's cheap compared to what they'd normally cost but i really don't even need them all! Facepalm so i've been returning casual stuff i will likely wear once and then put aside. i returned all the dresses except for 1 blouson short dress (the $10 one, bc it was only 10 and i do like it) and the shark bite ones i used a reward on. i've been giving away tees from the $5 pile to friends. when your closet gets overstuffed you find the best way to clean it out... and sometimes it's to return stuff.

the XS was extremely tight in the chest area. in fact that's the tightest part of it. i feel like i can't breathe and it's pressing on my rib cage. Frown you should still try it tho if you can because things fit us all differently, and i am puffy right now from that time of the month.

this is why it's good to have an angel card..... Evillaugh

it's working for me. make sure they are all coming from the same section:
http://www.express.com/bottoms-bu.../index.cat

or:
http://www.express.com/jeans-buy-.../index.cat

this time you probably can't mix and match.

I just received my Pink catalog that has a free shipping on orders of $50 code with "at least one regular-price qualifying VS item." It requires a pin #.

Did Express Returns last night too... got someone to let me re-buy the draped boatneck dress for it's current selling price ($10 less) woot Went to Limited and got some dress pants and a plain black sheath dress (speaking of funerals). While I am in b/w size 0 and 2 at Express... Limited I am a SOLID 2. Can't even zip the fly in a 0 laugh out loud They're doing an extra 30% Off Clearance which they said ends Sunday. Also giving out coupons for 40% off reg. priced dress/jewelry/etc. Got the dress slacks for $20 and dress for $33 and some final sale tanks for $5.
Also went to Cache' to do an online return...wow, the manager def gave the store a b*tchy-cranky vibe. Apparently they do a combo of VS and Express-style returns. They can mail your items back for you for free OR you can get your refund instantly in-store, but she declared this "terribly unfair" to the store as they would be out the money, but as she claimed- "and not get credit for the sale" Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

ALVs- saw this dress [cache.com]and thought of you. It looks much better in person.

He didn't get a brand new car. It's just new to him. There's no way we'd buy him a brand new car as irresponsible as he is. We just wanted a car we knew would be dependable. I'm the first to admit we should be harder on him. Unfortunately, we're both too easy going. It would be nice, if one of us balanced the other. He isn't allowed to cuss in our house or talk back to me. We also don't yell here. He knows better than to yell at either of us. Other than that, he's always gotten away with a lot & he knows it. Like I said, we could really use a do-over on that one. Stick Out Tongue

I think the girls were right about the reason he fusses about the way I dress & fix my hair. I overheard his GF tell him that he shouldn't say things like that to me. That I looked beautiful. She was being kind. Wink He said, "Don't say that. That's my mom." I pretended to not hear them. It doesn't really matter what he thinks, & he knows it. That doesn't mean I don't get annoyed, when he has to comment on how I look. Annoyed He didn't start doing that, until I lost weight. I'm hoping he'll grow out of it & quit caring.
Your outfit did sound cute Girly
Quote from crazymonkey1980 :
I need to go to the container store since we have been moving this week. Interesting that we moved to a " bigger" house but the layout is so different that a lot of furniture has to go!
Whee Off to Container Store and Ikea for you! I could spend days in those stores, just considering the possibilities...and then go home and execute none of them laugh out loud

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
I sent you a PM late last night. One thing I forgot to add was that they sometimes have a box and/or envelopes where you can make a donation to a charity chosen by the family if you like... so you could bring a checkbook for that.

Amazing, that is the vibe that I have gotten from literally every single cache stores that i have ever gone into. I used to shop there a lot, but not as much anymore because of it.

I would stop in to look at their dresses and figured they were probably like that...but now I know for sure. bulb It's a bummer to hear that it's all of them. Their online clearance prices were great ($15 for a silk laser cut shell). Guess I'll limit my shopping there too. Laaaame!
