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!

it says once per acct in the coupon, but it's for the 12 digits, not 4. i doubt you can call it in. the reps will probably turn you down. i'm even thinking about them blocking it to once per next acct in store.

It says one time use. It doesn't say anything about account, nor does it say one type of coupon per acct.

I complained to dh and he said to just open a new acct. laugh out loud

I thought I read once per acct. I'm too lazy to come out of bed to recheck. Will do tomorrow. Maybe they're all different if they didn't plan their changes well.

But then it's harder to earn rewards. Plus the free shipping perk requires you to a-list first. For the store, I guess you can just not use the next to use the coupon, if they insist on one per account.

I tried on the black peplum jacket again. It's tight but flattering over the right thing. I put it over my ponte knit sheath dress and I think it worked well. I then put the herringbone over the same dress. You can see the difference in size but I kinda like how the bigger one flares out more.

There's a tiny snag in the back of my herringbone jacket. That's the other reason I'm not sure about it. It's very cute tho! I'm not sure if the teal will work as well with jeans... Prob only over black pants but better with pencil skirts and slacks.

Size S. I did not like the shape enough to stalk it in XS.

Im returning the gray.
I got the black peplum jacket in XS too! I see you have the same problem I do where it creases at the chest Teehee I checked the Express photo of the jacket, and the XS most closely mirrors the fit on the model with little to no flare in the front. If I keep it, I think I will roll up the sleeves so that the sleeve does not have the same length as the bottom of the jacket.

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 actually think #2 and 3 looked great on you! I'm thinking peplum jacket + #3 would take away some self-consciousness Smilie

I have a conference next week. Do you think outfit 1 would be work-appropriate? Or is it too tight?

I think you were right in the shoulders=boobs - sounds like you and I are similar in size. laugh out loud I'm just flabbier.

Definitely work appropriate, IMO. The skirt sits away from your leg at the bottom hem, which tells me it's probably not too clingy in the booty. Length is fine. I don't see cleavage or pull lines that make it look like it's too small. Those are my standards at the moment. Cool

I think they've changed it so it's one type of coupon per acct. now I'm getting 3014 is invalid.
It used to be this way a few years ago with the generic codes. Mailers are doing it too EEK!. That's crazy.

Express is trying to get us back in-store I bet. You'll still be able to use all the mailers there. It's just more of a pita. I wonder if cs would order for us. They really shouldn't put coupons in all the orders if they don't want us to use them. That's just stupid!
