New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

I tried on the salmon pair. I really like them. As I was discussing with nerdi, I have the bird leg affect in them. It shouldn't be hard to take the legs in a little though. I'm definitely keeping them. I am glad they have a belt, because I need it. Now, I'm tempted to buy the denim ones. I was thinking of ordering http://www.express.com/clothing/4.../cat320019 &/or http://www.express.com/clothing/4.../cat320019. Have you tried those?
i probably have the bird leg effect too, given my skinny legs. i'm not planning to alter them. the denim looked more wide to me in the mirror, but i superimposed the print and the denim and they're the same.

that white one is what i said was see-thru. i ordered dark and white. fit is good, but i was discouraged by the fraying, thinking of age-appropriateness again.

My poor child wrecked on his bike last night & broke his arm in two places. Frown He's getting it set now. I don't know what he'll do about classes. The breaks are at his wrist & elbow on his right arm. He's right handed. Kurpee, any suggestions?
attend class. if he can't write, ask the prof if he can voice record. if not, borrow notes from a friend and photocopy. i won't recommend asking prof's notes, i don't keep one myself.

if he has to take a test, he can ask for accomodations, be ready with note from doctor. they may be able to arrange for someone to be there when he takes the exam (maybe he'll be given a special time and place), just to write his answers for him.

ouch, hope he gets better soon. did yall take the car or does he just ride the bike sometimes too? I'd kill myself and others too on a bike so i never even tried in college.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look for the SV topcoat. It sounds like that's the key to making polish last. I didn't know I shouldn't be letting my nails completely dry, before moving on to the next step. That's good to know. I'll look for the Orly Bonder also.

I'm obsessed with keeping my hands clean too. I used to work in pharmaceuticals & had to wash them often. Now, it's habit.
....
i think it depends. i used to let my base coat dry for 30 min or longer, washing my hands etc, before doing the np. now i do it all at the same time. i know that sv peels if you use it when the np underneath is dry. it may only be sv that does that tho. it's a topcoat that ppl either love or hate - i haven't tried them all but that was the first top coat that made me go 'WOW' bc it prevented a lot of smudges for me. i didn't like the sally hansen red top coat bc it didn't dry fast enough for me. i've heard good stuff about the deborah lippmann one so if i ever find a deal on it (it costs like $18 so that's why i'm not running out to try it laugh out loud) i might pick that one up.

another problem with seche vite aside from peeling and shrinking is that it gets gloopy about 1/4 way through the bottle. you have to buy the restore and then drip that into the bottle every so often. the restore costs like $10... but i've gone through an entire bottle of SV (that's how much i paint my nails Shutup) and have only used restore like 5 or 6 times... which means it'll last me through many more bottles of the top coat.

i picked up a seche vite 2-for at cvs awhile ago. it cost the same as 1 bottle but it came with the top coat and a base coat. i plan to use the base coat when i use up my orly bonder (somehow i'm only 1/2 way).

here's the cap sleeve sheath. the zipper back isn't that bad. i may keep it. idk though.


not really. looks that way just cause i'm holding my arms up trying to take a pic.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

a little closer up of the back. i don't think the zipper is that bad. do yall. it may bunch a little but nothing crazy and i bet it would bunch a little on anyone, right.
this is the one i'm asking about. sorry i didn't quote it right.

that's a good idea. i'm going to go to chicago when ds gets out of school. we'll probalby be there a month to a month and a half before dh is done with the project and comes home. any suggestions of what i should do. he has a mail box at his apartment. do they ship to those? sorry, i have no clue how these things work.

i did not. i've been kicking myself for not ordering during tick tock + sale overlap. i have tried one of them some time ago, but i didn't like. maybe that's why i resisted ordering it.

I'm not big on tucking in my tops and I think you'd have to tuck. That's why I didn't want them.

Wave I'm at the money pit and sanding/painting. This dry air exhausts me :yaw n:

Comfort Haven't we all. nod Shocking how they can turn anything into something about themselves. Well, I guess it shouldn't be shocking after all these years, but still Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) . The relative has recently picked up a significant other, which will even them out for a while, but when that person's gone... Dontknow

Confess - how many swimsuits do you have? Stick Out Tongue I want to say I have 10 of which I only wear 3 - 4.
Significant other is good. Don't be so pessimistic! Bonk (Must be all that gross air out there) They could have the person around for a while!

I have probably 30-40 swim suits. I haven't counted. Picked 4 sets up after the holiday season. I'm dying because VS keeps releasing different cute bottoms and I must have them all!!

I've worn 90% of them at least once. I've not worn any of the new ones. Sometimes I feel like I've run out because I don't want to re-wear the same ones, but I have. I have been getting rid of yuck ones (what was I thinking with "Juicy" on the bum? shake head or anything ill fitting) that I don't like anymore, even if I've only worn it once.

I read "I was busty last week" Roll I think it's them busty dresses and tops you've been showing us shake head

I think it's cute. Zipper looks okay and from the front, it looks good!
