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!

pet peeve: when people write reviews and mention that the size was just right/runs small/runs large but don't mention what size they got. or when they mention the size they got but not their specs (i.e. height/weight). either give all the details or don't bother. it doesn't help me to read that the size 0 fits you perfectly and that it's the perfect length on you when you don't mention your height or weight!

has anyone tried this skirt [express.com]?

Anyone tried these shorts? http://www.express.com/clothing/4.../cat320019 How wide are the leg openings? I want some longer shorts, but I'm afraid of the bird leg effect. I vaguely remember trying a pair of 4" shorts from Express last year that had legs openings too wide for my legs. I'm hoping these are new & aren't as wide.

new express mailer today. expires 4/7. 4 digit code is 7439.

15/30, 30/100, and 50/150
Thanks

Yes, I used the same one.
Strange, I wonder why it isn't working for me. Scratchchin

Quote from nerdicus :
my wishlist works in safari and sort of works in IE. i've just been adding stuff on the ipad.

unfortunately i couldn't find them in 7 so i ordered 6.5... i can count the number of times i've fit a 6.5 in my life on one hand. :l ol: i don't anticipate they'll fit me but that was the closest size they had available at macys.
Thanks for the info. I need to try IE.

The boots you have look pretty big on you. Hopefully, you'll get lucky & the 6.5 will fit.

I try not to look at them. Especially when there are just a few. I love stuff that people hate.

Promotion code 7439 is invalid.

Frown i am guessing it's the same "type" as my mailer which had different last 4 digit code but same tier.

i like the striped ponte dress! i think i prefer the jcp one!
too bad their sizing is larger. i may need to gain back 5-7 pounds to fit the 2 there. shake head their cap sleeve peplum is only $25... sounds cheap! i will be returning everything i got from there so i'll have a lot on gc!
The tops are soooo cheap. If so many of the casual tops are going to be that see-thru cotton, might as well reflect in the price laugh out loud You could probably hit up the dresses in the juniors section if it's not too scary over there.
Quote from longislandgirl :
I know! JCPenny has almost anything that express has, i swear. but some formal shirts, jackets I bought lately from JCP are better fit than express. I am starting to slowly love jcp Coverlaugh
and In what word the Express 30% discount on that floral skirt of $69.90 equals to 27.93 Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Aren't many VS items are dupes of Express or visa versa? I think none of us checks VS much now Laugh1

There there Comfort They made that lemon tote for you! They'll have a less bright summer tote soon- they always have at least one linen one. Oh and don't forget, the umbrella will be here soon!

Wow, you sure went scouting!

Yes, I think the lemon tote is cute! I can't wait for the umbrella. Got some store credit from a return and planning to return something else to store so I won't seem like I'm spending so much when I go get my umbrella!

Oh! I didn't know Nordstrom carried topshop! IMO their stuff is wildly overpriced. I like them, but I think they're more comparable to h&m with maybe slight better quality.

My friend and I walked around the standalone store here and all we could do was balk at the prices.

I think they are overpriced too. I've tried a few of their pieces but don't own any. I like Zara much better. They're overpriced too but I ran into a crazy after Christmas sale and found some unique pieces that I love. Nordstrom started carrying top shop several months ago.

They are slightly different. The straps are a little different and the neck is a tad bit higher on the back,

Yeah... sounds like an amateur seller. As long as she's willing, she'll learn and get better. I've messed up with buyers (sent wrong item, or re-listed an item I had already sold) and I do everything I can to make it right. The right attitude and readiness to refund do wonders Smilie Let us know what happens!
Yeah she just started selling in 2012. She replied to me and said she will take the few days I offered her to look for it because it was in storage and she is in the process of moving BUT she will not reduce shipping or cost of item at all and made it clear that I was already getting a great deal on a nwot jacket. I am getting a great deal but it is an inconvenience to me since I was suppose to get the jacket by this Saturday and at this rate I won't get it till late next week... Not great customer service IMO.


Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
i did. they said they would refund shipping both ways plus the cost of the top. refund didn't include my return shipping but i was over it by then. just a lesson of another reason why i hate ebay.
Frown Ebay does seem like a hassle. I don't think I'm going to order again.
