Yeah I saw it in 1 store but not the other. I never tried it on; I just assumed I wouldn't like it kuz it doesn't have buttons and it's knit. But it looks nicer on than on hanger.

ok, some photos from today (everything XS except otherwise noted):
1) my blue knit blazer
2) black and white ponte knit dress [express.com] (this looked much better on alvs - i think i have too soft of a stomach area for it laugh out loud) - i was wearing a black bra and black undies so alvs is right - it's not very see-thru!
3) the flattering striped dress [express.com] (again, i think my midsection is too soft/flabby for this dress. flattering, but i would feel self-conscious in it)
4) another dress that looked very similar to the flattering dress, but had a full zipper in the back and was cut a little differently around the arms (very unflattering on me, i might add) (size 2) sorry so blurry
5) fit n flare dress that i thought was cute (i think this would be awesome with a thick red belt)
6) very cute blouse - going on my wish list!
7) embroidered lace top [express.com] that did not work for me - i tried both XS and S (this is the XS) and they were both too narrow in the shoulders for me. XS fit my body better but the shoulder/arm area looks weird
8) heart this top [express.com]! it's on my wish list and i meant to exchange a top for this, but i used it to get the blue blazer instead. maybe i will be able to get it with a sale + tier.

I know what you mean. It costs so much for a ticket, I hate paying that extra money to check a bag. Some smaller airlines are even charging for carry-ons! I miss the days where you could check at least one bag for free almost anywhere.

Have fun!
I am going to miss AirTran. Southwest is not the greatest airline. I am not sure which is worst, Southwest or Delta.

Thanks for all the well wishes, ladies.

i like 7 and 8! what should i get in 7?
i looked at exp's pics, i think i'd be an s to look a little loose just like the models.

i've been looking at 8, but i keep convincing myself i don't want it because it's similar to one i have already (black with white stripes [express.com]). i've convinced myself enough that i haven't even tried it on, the many times i've looked at it in store. now you're making me want it too!

at least southwest lets you check bags! (2 free!) i actually like southwest in that it's so different. but it's best if you don't have a stopover...

hmmm the S was just kinda wide on me in 7. plus the shoulders were still narrow. but you're right, S might be better for the fit that they show on the website. i might have liked the S better if the shoulders were wider!

i returned my tie die kissing back shirt bc i like 8 better. i think the fit is more flattering and the crossover mesh panels in back are more interesting. i was actually going to do an even exchange - kissing back for 8, but instead it went to the blazer. i was able to do an exchange of 3 shirts for blazer + shirt with only paying 11 cents oop. Smilie it's getting harder and harder to do exchanges now tho - i should have done them more right after the holidays.

I cannot get with any airline that will not let you select your seats in advance. That is a deal-breaker for me. I can get everything I need in a carry-one and my "purse", so I never check any bags. Plus, I do not like waiting at the luggage carousel. Internationally, customs can be so time-consuming that all the luggage is thrown on the floor everywhere. It is a mess. And anyone could walk off with any luggage.

I think the dresses look great on you!

I love that top online. I've got to try it. Reminds me if a top I found at zara but was damaged so I passed.

How sweet of you Nerdi. I miss coming on this thread often. I wish I had more time to shop and chit chat here Embarrassment
Quote from GoHeels :
Wow, what a night I've had. :fai nt: I got the bright idea to make chocolate cupcakes w/raspberry filling & cream cheese icing instead of buying something from the bakery for tomorrow. It was all going fine, until I started the icing. As I was adding the 3rd cup of powdered sugar, my hair got caught in the beaters. By the time I reacted, quite a bit was wound around them. :ee k: DH had to help me get it out, which as you can imagine was a lot of fun. :s hake: So, I had to take another shower, then dump that icing out & make another batch. I think that will be my last baking adventure for quite awhile. These cupcakes had better be the best I've ever eaten. :lo l:
I hope cupcakes came out the best Smilie
