Awesome! Seems like a good time for you to use your reward Smilie

I'm thinking about the white fit and flare dress because a friend wore it to her bridal shower with a pink belt and it looked fantastic. However, it has been on the site forever, which makes me wonder if it's going to go on clearance soon. I wonder when the next big express clearance markdown will be.
i've decided to actively not care about little price differences - it's far too difficult to always get the best deal, especially when using rewards. i figure i get so much in rewards anyway that it's ok if i haphazardly spend it a little. As long as things are on sale and I use some sort of coupon, I'm happy. Smilie

My reward order ended up being about $3. Pretty good imo. I could have stepped it up and used the 50/150 instead of 40/120 but i decided there was nothing else that I really wanted to make up that difference.

I hate when things go to clearance, because then it's ridiculously difficult to get your size if you guess wrong. That happened to me last time - i ordered and then before I even got the order, a tank went on clearance and I had ordered the wrong size so I was basically screwed. Frown I never was able to find that tank again... Sadwalk

I just noticed (thanks to the ads on SD - thank you SD!) that my lace pump dropped in price since I ordered them last night. I chatted with Amazon CS and they issued a refund for the difference. woot I could have just returned and rebought, but I'm glad they didn't make me do that, since I'm not sure I'm going to keep them anyway.

Tried on a couple of dresses. I liked the black/white bandage dress that alvs showed us. Flattering, even though I think the white accentuates my tummy flab. I'm wearing the white wedges - they were comfy! I'm not all that into the black ones but for some reason I like the white ones.
Found a black dress similar to the bandage dress. It fit funny - it looked like someone had stretched out the 2 before I tried it on. The hip area was weird on that dress. It could be a nice lbd if it weren't stretched out. Retails for 69.90. Also saw it in my other store; surprised it's not online.
The first two dresses look real nice. Wow you're able to rock those white wedges!! ThumbsupThumbsup usually i would say no no to white wedges but they look nice on you and with those dresses. I tried on the tan ones today. i love it but i'm still pondering on the price...

Went to Pink today. They have some hoodies and sweatpants for $25 each. I got a hoodie and used the $10 reward that came with my new angel card.

Express codes that expire 5/27:

3016- 50/150
3014- 15/30, 30/100, or 40/120
Thanks

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I would say probably a white belt. Yellow if she likes to catch a little more attention. Or black would be nice :no d:
Thanks for the suggestions. I have these http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...1155165337 (gold) & http://www.express.com/catalog/pr...1155165340 (natural) in my cart that I was considering. White or yellow may be better. Yellow really intrigues me, but I don't see one that would work at Express. I probably should order a few colors to see which goes better. I could use more belts anyway. They need to put the belts on sale next week, so I can do that. Without a sale, I'm only buying one. I'll wait for a sale to buy some for me.

Tulip maxi - jury's still out on this one. Its cute and different, but I'm not sure when I would wear it.
The first dress looks great on you. I don't see any tummy flab at all. Thanks for the pic of the tulip dress. I was going to order it, but I think I'll pass. If it doesn't look fantastic on you, it definitely wouldn't look good on me.

Now you have me on Amazon looking at shoes again. Bonk

I guess I'm a big fashion faux pas. I have white wedge sandals that I wear often in the summer. Embarrassment

laugh out loud It's okay. I know I'm not a trendy dresser. As a matter of fact, I have a very boring fashion sense. Most of my shoes are white, natural/tan, black, or brown. I do have flat sandals in more colors, but all my heels are neutral colors.

We're not really all that patient. (At least I'm not.) We're just all addicted to shopping. Embarrassment




There's a new color block skater dress I must try. http://www.express.com/clothing/c.../cat550001

nerdi, what recent/last year's Express dress would you compare the black & white dress http://www.express.com/clothing/c.../cat550001 to in terms of stomach support/cover-up? I love it, but I'm afraid it will show my stomach fat, of which I have an ample supply.

you should try those tsubo pumps. reviews say they run small though. this could be good for you, but you could possibly need a larger size also. they're based in japan so their sizes are different.

the tulip dress has sort of a higher waist than i expected. i think that's part of why it looks weird on me. the opening is also a little high/short... this could work for you. however i know you don't like wearing a strapless bra so it may not be worth the hassle for you.
