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!

I just tried this VS one piece http://www.victoriassecret.com/sw...ueType=OLS with this Express dress http://www.express.com/clothing/s.../cat840005. The swim suit exposed my stomach, which is a bad thing. EEK! It wouldn't have been quite as bad, if the cups fit. They were too small. I'll stick with tankinis. The dress would make a good cover-up, but I may need an XS. The S was long & kind of just hung on me. I'm concerned an XS may look tight when washed. I'm trying to decide if it's worth $13.77. DH say maybe. I'm on the fence.



P
I have that dress. You're right about it being baggy and hanging. It's ok. Kind of like a step up from wearing a big tee shirt. I need to try it with a belt and see if it helps. It will most likely be a coverup.

I have been wearing Fast Flats since the introduction. They are definitely last-resort footwear. You will feel every rock, peeble, and bump on the ground. However, it is definitely better than wearing your shoes that hurt. I always take them when I go to out at night other than dinner. Usually I am not on my feet enough for my shoes to hurt me if we just go to dinner. Most of my shoes do not hurt me anyway. However, they are great on the nights that they do.
...
nod i can see that, just from trying it on at home. definitely doesn't protect your feet from much!

thank you!!!
btw i used the 10 off cert twice today on my account. no idea why... may be a fluke or maybe since it's finally officially active they've made it not one time use. hopefully the latter!

Sorry, I'll try to do better. Blush

I can totally relate to your toe problem. My toe that was broken, & never reset, causes me problems. It sticks up causing blisters, plus the toenail turns downward. I have to keep the nail cut really short to keep it from cutting into my foot. Moleskin negates the blistering problem from it sticking up, but doesn't help with the cutting problem. Cutting my nail really short is the only thing that helps with that. I've recently taken Porda's advice & put moleskin in my shoes rather than on my skin. That works great!
...
You all convinced me to place a couple orders for towels, even though I like last years better. I already have a few of those. Facepalm
...
no no, don't be Blush. i like it! sometimes i need ppl to tell me what to do. Smilie i did reorder the shoes... hopefully this next pair won't have 2 different sizes (or if it does, hopefully it's a 7.5 on the left and 7 on the right... that would be perfect for me Teehee)

i need to find some moleskin one of these days...

There is no limit for online returns back to store. They shouldn't even ask for ID. As long as they don't scan it, I guess it's all right
Quote from tarribear :
That is what I heard to but I don't trust that info, because they run my ID through the machine and I can not see if they push some button that says online return or what.
My SA said that the returns swipe machine asks them to select whether or not it is a "catalog return". They also told me that there is a returns limit for catalog returns, but that the $ amount is much higher than what is allowed for store returns. Since they couldn't give me an exact $$ limit... I don't know how much of this stuff they are just making up.

So pretty. I think its new!
Hahah, that's the same lace they used in the dress I wore in Hawaii. [express.com] (Which was this one for you ladies that were trying to figure out from my "aztec" lace description)
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I need some of those! Wonder if they come in my size or kids sizes. I have a pair of blustery flats in my car for just in case backups right now. Sometimes in Chicago if we're walking I'll wear flats and change into heels at the restaurant. I got that idea from seeing some old lady do it Facepalm LMAO.
I do that all the time! We go to dinner in the hawt shoes and swap for the flats or flops for grocery shopping or other errands. Old ladies have a lot to teach us Teehee

I brought my moleskin on my trip with me - flip flops cut between my toes so I taped from the bottom and in between (so it was not visible from the top). Lasted all day, even through water and sand woot

Travel Observations-

*Security Screening - Buttons from my VS Marisa cargo drawstring capris pants set off the X-ray scanner in two different airports, requiring extra screening Messed Up


*VS GWP's out and about - I saw 3 a grand total of 3 VS Striped Getaway bags, but not a single one of the other bagillion totes that VS has for GWP's.

* Flat sandal insoles - I have horribly high and weak arches, so I can't wear flat sandals all day, day after day. Such a bummer for a trip to Hawaii. As a last minute fix, I ordered SuperFeet insoles for flats from Amazon [amazon.com] . I put them in the UnionBay sandals [6pm.com] and they were awesome. I was able to wear them day after day without pain. They are hard and meant to support your arch and help with alignment with the cup, so it's not to help in the cushioning department. I bought thehigh-heel version too [amazon.com], but have yet to try them out yet. They are also very low profile for what they do. No one noticed I had them until I pointed them out, otherwise the black just blends in with the shadow that my arch creates.

Yup! I walk more carefully in Fast Flats than I do in heels!

Does anyone watch Jerseylicious, Revenge or Scandal? I'm not going to spoil them, but the Jerseylicious Reunion Part 1 was sad, the season finale of Revenge was pretty good, and I cannot wait for the finale of Scandal.

Oh! And reminder ladies....free up that VS CC before the end of the month! The Spring SAS is upon us! bounce bounce bounce

I hope you enjoyed your time in Hawaii! I was totally wondering which dress you had. I figured it was the ugly Aztec tube dress, and I couldn't figure out how you were getting so many compliments, though I'm sure you would have rocked that one as well.

I'm in Cologne, Germany at the moment. I was in Luxemborg yesterday. I have actually seen more getaway bags than you have...and being carried by Europeans! I saw three getaway bags in the dusseldorf airport, and on the trains, I saw the big pink VS tote bag with the sequins (my personal favorite GWP ever). I'll keep you posted on what I see. Also, I'm super excited about the swim code! I can't wait to get back and use some of my certs!

My store asks for a license but does not swipe it. They enter the info in the register, and I've been told there isn't a limit for in-store returns here. Must just be the region I'm in.
