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.

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!
laugh out loud why does everyone think i'm talking about my chest when i'm not?! shake head laugh out loud

speaking of suits, i wore this for the first time last week:


i bought it last year from target and never got to wear it. i'm still loving it this year! woot actually even more bc i'm liking coral more this year than i did last. Smilie

My cart just accepted a $15 off $30 code that I'm pretty sure I've already used. It was one of the "red" codes.

Quote from kurips :
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.
I thought that was the white shorts you were talking about, but I started questioning myself, when you mentioned buying the shorts I have too.

Quote from kurips :
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.
He has a test tomorrow. Hopefully, his professor will work with him on it. He said the test is usually fill in the blank in that class (Spanish II), so he may be able to scribble enough with his left hand. He'll have a cast, so she'll know he isn't faking. After tomorrow, he doesn't have class until next Monday. He should be more used to it by then. Thanks for the advice. I passed along the info to him.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
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.
He uses the bike for exercise. He was in the neighborhood across the street & hit a bump in the dark. Hopefully, he'll learn from this & stop riding after dark.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
: ( i hate that. i need to stop ordering unless it's express and i can mail hold those because we're most likely going to chicago for easter :roc k:. i guess i'll hide eggs in the city for ds.
That sounds like fun. bounce

Quote from nerdicus :
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 :l ol: ) 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 :shut up: ) 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).
I don't paint my nails often. I end up throwing products away, before I ever finish one. Hopefully, I can find the SV combo. I'm ready to throw everything I have away, except the polish. We'll have to be on the lookout for a DL deal.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
this is the one i'm asking about. sorry i didn't quote it right.
That dress looks great on you.

Cute suit. Coral is one of my favorite colors at the moment too.

Were you able to actually submit the order successfully?

If he thinks he can write with left hand, he can maybe ask for extra time because he'll be understandably slower.
Eta: he should email the prof beforehand just to be sure.

I just tried on the black, blue, & white color block dress. http://www.express.com/clothing/c.../cat740010 I like it, but DH isn't a fan. It comes to my knees, which may have something to do with him not liking it. Dontknow I couldn't find the thin black belt I bought that's still in the plastic somewhere, so I tried using the belt that came with the 4 1/2" black shorts. It's huge! There's no way anyone who is a size 2 could wear it.

I haven't submitted it, because I'm not sure I want the dress. http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...1026001310 I'm at "place order" & the total still shows the code discount.

g'luck with all the work you're doing! sounds... hot. laugh out loud it's so hot today!
Thanks! It was actually really cool out today, 70s or something! Tomorrow it might rain. Most of the work will be indoors after I'm done. Man, I love my Bissel Steamer I got from an HSN deal a while back Big Grin It does most of the scrubbing work.

And OMG, Seche Vite looks amazing but gah is that not the stinkiest ever. Smells like full-fledged lacquer I'd buy to paint furniture. vomit


Do you need a new name? Chesticus? laugh out loud

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
The peplum tops would look nice. Button ups would look nice too. Sweaters or tanks! Just about anything. I'll put together some outfits when they come Whee!
Whip Show us the way!


About the dress, I also say do the test drive and then compare it to LBD's you already have. It looks great on you, yet doesn't seem that different to me to justify it, but I don't have your closet space Teehee

Hope he heals up quickly. In larger classes, sometimes have some kind of campus assistance services for the temporarily or permanently disabled. It's a student that is paid to take notes and he should be able to get in on that for the quarter or semester. ( I used to do the notes for extra cash. )

Also - for the nails,these gel kits are supposed to get you 2 weeks [drugstore.com] . There was a deal that made it $30 and I picked it up then, but haven't tried it yet. Supposedly you can use your old regular polish in b/w the layers in some kind of "sandwich" Teehee .

Lordy it was soooo smoggy today. I would love if the new person stuck around for a while, but it does not erase what created the depression in the first place. I guess I feel like it's just a bandaid that I wouldn't want peeled off after marriage....kids...etc. My mom says, "Oh, they're fine when they have someone, they just need to always have someone around. Messed Up This person has very manic and then very depressed episodes." It's kind of beyond I guess what you would call the avg depressed person. When things are dire in this person's head, they rant on F-book and can hardly form full thoughts or sentences. Probably the first person I've worried that might actually hurt themselves... which is why I was so upset to hear what my mom said to them Frown Oye. Glad to get it all off my chest. Thanks for listening darlin' hug

30-40? Shocking Wowza. I feel like I need to count mine to make sure now Scratchhead I don't know if the tops are going to fit on any of them anymore... so I might not even have 10 EEK! You're funny about the bottoms. Just about the only one I like now is the foldover. I don't feel like the rest of the cuts do anything for the junk of my trunk.

You should get it. I tried the skater dress before. It's like the color block but shorter and stretchy. Should work well for you!
