New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

shake head Such laziness and you haven't joined a nudist colony yet? Harhar You could throw on a black vest over it. I told one of the SA's that they never put the Portofino's on sale and he said, "Yeah, but they don't need to, they sell out very quickly" Unsure Sounds like a supply problem... make more? bulb

Frown I can't look at them right now unfort. SD is farking up all the Express links you girls are posting. I'll have to try later when I get home from the store. I wish the polka dots on the black were smaller. I haven't seen the sleeveless portifino yet.

Thanks - Yeah, that's the one where I think the dots are too big. The white one with the black dots was perfect, I just wanted the same on a black shirt. I hadn't seen the white on white before drool - would go great with the colored shorts I just bought. The last one looks like a nicely structured blouse, but might be hard to fit properly with the shoulders.

shoulders - for you or for me?

i think it's kinda cute with oversized polka dots. really like the nude color.

hope for a storewide sale! tho i seem to rack up so many points that i can probably just haphazardly spend my rewards... Scratchchin

Should I be worried if my order says processed but not shipped? Been like that for a day now. Used some codes and rewards but everything is showing up correctly under the payment so far. Anyone have any issues with an order after its been "processed" or should it be fine at that point?

i did try this tee and the leather sleeves poked out and looked weird on me. it may look better if you have bigger arms. i'm surprised it gets good reviews because i thought it was awful :lo l:.
That reminds me of the striped dolman tee http://www.express.com/clothing/s.../cat870027. It gets pretty good reviews, but it looked horrible on me. It reminded me of the baggy shirts, with the big arm holes, my sister's MIL wears in the summer. laugh out loud

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
tier expires today ; )

i think i'm in for 1 more order with it!
At VS?

Quote from longislandgirl :
Thanks for posting it works with $10 off bra :h ug:

I'm glad you were able to get the deal. After placing an order in DH's acct., I realized there was a generic $10 off bra code & ordered another one in my acct. It was a good deal with SRCs.

Quote from nerdicus :
this maxi:
http://www.express.com/clothing/t.../cat820001

yes, let us know! : )

i only have leather blustery because it was extremely soft right when i got them. i'm going to try out another one in a non-leather due to the price, but i'm not sure if it'll be as comfortable. imo the blustery's use of extremely soft leather lends to its comfort.

i don't remember if the back ever cut into my heel on those shoes. the front wasn't very comfortable in the beginning of my 2nd pair - it softened after a few wears and now it's extremely comfy. i like my 2nd pair more because i got it 1/2 size larger - i use those shoes for days when i walk a lot and my feet expand by the end of the day.

btw not sure if you saw but there is a new color block skater dress:
http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...=cat550001

thought you might be interested.
I showed DH that maxi a couple days ago. Do you think I could get away with clear straps on a bra? I usually don't like that look, but I never wear the strapless dresses I have due to having to wear a strapless bra. Thanks for the color block dress link also.

I don't know what to do about those shoes. I'll probably hold onto them a little while to see how the non-leather ones work for you all with more wears.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I got an excellent pair from Payless a few years back. They have a very slight cup in them, maybe they'll make them again this year. I also have a pair of Bandolino cork strappy wedges. [amazon.com] They're pretty secure too. Along the same lines as what Alvs said- The width of the narrowest part of the heel is about the width of my thumb. Any more narrow than that and I'll topple for sure! I also have these Hush Puppies peep toe wedges [newegg.com]. They look much cuter on and I lined the toe opening with moleskin and they're sooooo comfy now.

Nope, I've been running around town like that! :tee hee: If I tucked it in all around then I'd have to worry about if it were equally tucked all around, if it were bunching under my pants and creating a bump, and if it were billowing too much. I can't handle all of that. Partially tucked is meant to be casual I think. I had to get used to it, but I like it now. If it's totally untucked, I get no definition in the waist, no shape with that style of top. I know it looks a little messy so I try to combat that by pairing it with a statement necklace and decent shoes. I know your go-to is a belt for these looser styles right? I do that too, but sometimes can't take the pressure it puts on my stomach.
I was going to ask if you put the moleskin on the shoes, but saw you answered that below. That's a great idea! I never thought to do that.

Yeah, I use belts for definition. I end up pulling at some of them, but it doesn't bother me enough to not wear one.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Has anyone tried this Bateu sweater? [express.com] I've been curious about it, but not sure if I should give it a try.
I have it in purple, but I've yet to wear it. It was really soft, when I tried it on. I think alvs returned it, because she was afraid of piling.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I tried that lace peplum you girls were talking about and the new black bird portofino:
Attachment 1957708 Attachment 1957710

Attachment 1957712

Lace peplum is not the right color for my skin tone, might try the other colors. I still haven't worn any of the peplums I own (peplum tanks) : O. Oops. Love the blackbird portofino, this one requires an underlayer. I :h eart: this one! Both are XS.

I don't know...it looks to me like she's ready for a diaper change :tee hee:
GoHeels might have more info for you. I think both store brand and Dr. Scholl's work equally fine. Perhaps the D.S.'s have a slightly better stick to them.
That peplum top looks great on you. I wish they fit me that well w/o being altered.

I'll have to look at my moleskin, but I thinks it's Dr. Scholl's too.

I knew I should not have gone to the site. There are some cute dresses under $40. What to do...what to do.

when do you think Express will have the additional 40% or 50% off clearance. I think they had additional 40% off a few weekends ago, but it was only that weekend. I have yet to figure out their method of madness.
