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!

Express Try-Ons (have photos for all of these, will upload later and re-link) -Mixed-Media Drape Neck Dress [express.com] - Very cute (even tho I'm resistant to a drape neck). Skirt feels a little short, but not undoable. I am resistant to buying this style of dress b/c I feel like I should probably just buy that black flow skirt in clearance and pair it with a cowl neck top to achieve the same look

Lace Hi-Low Hem Tee [express.com] - too short in front. Cute though. For reference- this shirt hits higher in the front than the lace yoke tees from clearance.

Lace Shoulder V-neck Tee [express.com] - Quite cute! However, these XS tops are borderline too short. I did not try it in an S. Also, with a larger chest, the shirt pulls away from you at the V and you can see through it (see the cleavage line). I'm undecided as the larger size might eliminate that problem.

Printed High-Neck Blouson Camis [express.com] - Love this and so happy XS fits. I want to pick one up for our next Hawaii trip. The length is just perfect, comes up under the arms so a strapless shouldn't show... instead of "Keep" , I should put GET since I"m waiting on rewards + sale.

Contrast Loop Chiffon Tank [express.com] - After I got done strangling myself in the straps like some Cirque De Solei flunkee, I looked in the mirror and vomit . Just looked horrible on me. I'm sure someone can pull it off, but that person is not me.

I feel similarly about the dresses with a tight high-waist black skirt. I have that skirt, so therefore I can't buy those dresses Teehee

i feel the same about the mix media dress. somehow i'm drawn to it.

if you read the thread more regularly you'd know all the regulars opted for S vs XS in that lace shoulder tee. Stick Out Tongue

me! i'm the one that can pull off that last shirt! i heart it. probably best for straighter figures.

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 #.
thanks for the heads up!

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.
The link is taking me to cache's homepage.

I hate, hate, hate when sa's act like this. It's one of my pet peeves. Some of them are so small minded. Only worried about their store rather than the entire company. Makes me not ever want to shop at their store and not shop online as much. I have a lady at Ann Taylor with a stick up her ass. She's such a dumb bitch. I so want to video her and send it to corporate.

Quote from nerdicus :
not sure if you found it alvs, but the limited 50% off code is BONUS.


quoting you so you see.
thanks Whee

I would get one. I always want my hair looking decent and it needs a flat iron.

nod yes, it was an online order. that's why it was so much better!

i saw that top! it's in my wish list. Smilie i'll have to run the mesh sleeves by her bc i think she was thinking of like a scoopneck instead, but maybe if i just have it with me whenever the skirt is done to be tried on i can try it also. Smilie

thanks! maybe we will get more tick tock opportunities!

i love that tank too. it must not be for those large chested ladies. Smilie

i got the khaki pleat sleeve in 2 and the sleeves are twice as wide as i need. i don't think i can wear it. it's just too baggy. (i can actually fit a 0 in that jacket but i'm not sure if i should size down so much bc the shoulders are so narrow)

good point about the dress.

You guys. VS is drawing me in with their pretty Angel bras. I got the Spring Orchid [victoriassecret.com] one today. All outta my size online. And the matching panty for $5. I really like the matching panty. It's not all mesh Whee I love it! Good selection of $5 DA panties. I don't feel like they stored any away. I never buy full sets. Arugh. What has become of me? It's so pretty and romantic.

I got another Angel Fantasies bra at $29.50. My store has become coupon nazis so they said I can't use another $10 off bra on top of that Angel Fantasies and can't use survey either. Mad I didn't walk out with a good of a deal as I could since I was saving my $10 RC to use when SRCs are active and then double dipping in store.
