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!

Cute, I hope they fit. woot

it has been oos in XS and S for a long time! thanks for letting us know it was back - i had been dying to add the XS to my wishlist. i think i just checked a couple of days ago and it only had M and L so you didn't really miss it. i specifically checked for it bc i was adding stuff back onto my wishlist.
I had been stalking it daily, since the first time I saw it. alvs must have gotten it last year. It's only been available in M & L for as long as I've been checking.

look around Let's see a photo of this policy before we get freaked out about this.

1) It could be an old invoice paper they printed it on (before they started in-store returns)
2) It could be a return to what we had before which is no in-store returns... They were nice, but we survived without them
3) Why would it be $5.99 per order?
bulb Send more than one order back in a box of returns
bulbDon't send them a box full of invoices with shipping labels attached. Sometimes they get scan-happy and each one they scan = $5.99
That's what I do. Put a bunch in a box and they only charge you one label. For me this is easier than the mall.

First pretty day we've had in months (60 was the high) and plaid shorts had the mini van at the subdivision entrance. It's a 0.1 mile walk shake head. Drives me bonkers. I walk that in about 1.5 minutes on my treadmill.

Quote from nerdicus :
yeah i returned those clearance $10 ones bc they were too short for me. i knew i wouldn't wear it. i would wear this one! i mean, i did try the s but usually i don't find those flowy skirts to be that much longer in a larger size.
...
You returned it?! Awww... it looked so good in that corset skirt photo you uploaded. I've been wearing them and trying to find excuses to wear them more! The white/black lace one would look especially sharp/dramatic with colored jeggings! The blouson yoke sale one feels a little short. I know you sized up for length on that and that's got me thinking I should try that to see how I like it as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. Naturally, I don't have that top either. Frown I'm going to send DH to the store to look for the color block gray/black tank that was recently online. It's like this http://www.express.com/clothing/color+block+hammered+jersey+shell+top/pro/6311239/cat320062, but in grays & black. I'll have him look for this one too. I'm no longer worried about being overdressed. DH's boss told him these were Executive Club level seats & not to wear jeans. I'll probably wear nice jeans anyway. I do have a pair of ivory & gray corduroy pants & ivory leggings I could wear. That's about it. I don't really have any dress pants. Dark jeans should be fine though. We get free food & free booze. woot Soon I won't care about my outfit. Stick Out Tongue Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't wear anything tight. Scratchchin

I need to send DH to a different Express store. It's awesome that you all don't always lose your points on returns. I've never been that lucky.
Oh yeah, I remember that one. You need to make a file you can share with us of your Express closet so we can come up with outfit ideas for you laugh out loud That sounds like more of a party than a hockey game Whee

IMO, this is a much better style than the knee-high one you were wondering about. The cleaner lines will make your look more put-together. I hope it works for you Smilie

yeah the xs went oos first, a long time ago. the s was in and out of stock... but mostly oos as of late.

nod i don't do a lot of vs in-store returns. the line is usually extremely long (no idea why!) so it's not worth my time to do it. it's easier for me to just pack up a box. it's different than express for me bc at express they give me the refund right away, whereas for vs even if i return it in store it still takes some time before it gets processed.

There is the ivory top. I bought it with my birthday coupon. It wasn't on sale and some of yall fussed at me so I'm surprised yall don't remember. I'm wearing the xs in that photo. It feels like the black and the fabric is the same according to the label.

i am confused now... laugh out loud Confused

i returned the elastic waist v-neck dresses in clearance that had that same lining bc they were short on me and didn't look that great. are you talking about the lace yoke tees? i kept all of those... wore the ivory one for the first time to work this week and promptly splattered some spicy ramen soup on it. Facepalm i shouted it and washed it when i got home and i think the stain came out, but man! it's so difficult with light colored clothing.

the blouson dress i kept in xs since the s didn't make much of a difference in length but was much wider/had excess fabric. is that what you mean, or are you talking about a shirt? Scratchhead

i was originally looking for a boot with a buckle but i couldn't find any in my size on sale. apparently nine west updates their sizes often! i was stoked to find them come BIS in 7.5 since all i could find were 5s and 6s in cognac. i really hope this is the end...

Thanks, nerdi and hba123 so far, for your feedback. It's still sunny here for the time-being, so i'll attempt to upload a decent photo of the back [of one of my pieces of invoice paper] later this afternoon/evening.

i feel a tiny bit better about only $5.99 per box. If i need to resort to this, however, won't my Post Office charge me more than just the $5.99 prepaid sticker based on how much the box weighs? \:
Nope.

looks amazing on you! heart so pretty!

does it fit a lot like the black? or is it more or less snug? i'm sort of in-between sizes in the black (i think a lot of us are) so i'm not sure what size i'd be in that one. guess i'll try the xs, unless you think it's more snug than the black.

i think they fit the same. Just the straps and neckline are slightly different when you look at them side by side.
