thanks for that. i might get abyss then. the lace back is mint. i want my stuff to look as different as possible Teehee
cayman blue has a lot more blue in it than the express 'mint' shade.

though, it might look similar. it'll depend on what color you're looking for - i like the cayman blue shade bc it's bright without being bright, if that makes sense. it's a light color but not too sheer.

the abyss color looks like all the other teal shirts that i have.

i don't like the model for the cayman blue color - she makes the shirt look very masculine. i'm liking the long sleeve ones better i think, because of this. abyss model looks better tho.

as far as color goes - cayman blue is the color that i wear a lot in my regular portofino shirt. heart
thanks fixed my original post.

yeah, the long sleeves look better than the short sleeves, but remember, i "try" not to have too many of the same things Teehee

i normally love short sleeve button down shirts, but i think the sleeves look too long and wide or something, hence my masculine comment. i'd have to try it on to see if my arms look funny.

i'd be happy to take your 4" too-long inseam shorts off your hands! Girly laugh out loud

i was saying that to myself last night. it didn't last long. i think the key point is to not overdo it - don't place too many orders all at once, one right after another.
Whip Back away from my shorts! I need them for when the waves of self-consciousness come Embarrassment I think the cayman blue is too light for my skin... there was a slightly deeper hue that was around for 2 seconds... I want to say surreal mint?

Yep! You're ready for Cali Surf In a door (or under a table or desk), the frame is supposed to have more strength to keep you from being crushed if anything collapses. Although the latest safety thing I saw said the door is dangerous b/c the door might close and crush your fingers...but that sounds silly to me. I'll take crushed fingers over crushed head any day nod

Abyss looks like a beautiful color. I really didn't like the cayman. Too minty for me. I thought it was going to be a light blue.
Quote from nerdicus :
it's not minty! it's aqua! heart the color personally.
laugh out loud I guess my definition of the color aqua is different. When I hear aqua, I think of that abyss color. laugh out loud

maybe i should say light aqua. Smilie but it's basically a lighter version of abyss. when you say minty i think of green and it's got a lot of blue in it!

i have a mint colored shirt (tulip back shirt) and the colors are different.

Will you get them if you wait?
nope. i will have to ship it to my sister and i will see them when we come back end of july. june 2 is our flight.

I still have $90 + $30 reward and $45 + $15. It seems I can place orders while I'm on vacation though, so I'm not sure if I should hurry using them up before we leave.

also, i'm waiting for bday coupons. hope they get here on time. seems we're driving to my sister's in illinois on the 28th. i can use them in store over there. online, i guess i don't know how to deal with it yet, it seems the bday leaves me no choice but have stuff shipped out to my sister's.

they still have original portofino in surreal mint... but that's more green! Scratchchin it seems like i'm the only one that loves the cayman blue color... laugh out loud i think i grabbed it in store and wore it the next day! i love it - it's such a nice pop of color. oh well - less ppl for me to clash with then! laugh out loud

you really only need 1 pair for your self conscious days..... remember - decluttering helps to destress! laugh out loud

hehe i was just imagining the fine print for this coupon:
Limit one per order; limit 7 per customer.
Confused laugh out loud

... better that they say limit one per customer and leave it at that i guess.....

that is a lot of rewards to use! if you want to wear those portofinos while you're on your trip get them now. or get 1 to wear. wait to order the rest of them.

All these polka dot tops you all are linking are giving me flashbacks to my teenage years. I had a few of them then. There doesn't seem to be any new styles anymore. They're all recycled. I prefer the peplums of the past. The waist seam hit me at a better spot. Most of the polka dot clothing is as cute as it was back then though. Since I wore it back then, I almost feel like I'm too old for it now. Most of my polka dot tops had a rainbow of colors. A solid color may work for me now.

Now I am feeling bad for buying jackets from JCP for $19.xx they are pretty good though :lo l:
$19 is great for nice jackets. Which jackets did you get? You can choose to ignore the deal alvs & kurpee got with me. I'm pretending I didn't see their posts. laugh out loud

Quote from nerdicus :
new pricing at express!
dresses no longer on sale. :sa dwalk:
I literally got up intending to order the salmon skater dress this morning. It's just my luck that it's no longer on sale. I should have ordered it earlier. Doh

Quote from nerdicus :
all my orders from last night shipped, including the clearance item i was stalking! :wh ee:

Whoa, earthquake here. :om g: Located right where we are and very superficial. Only a 4.0 and DH thought the building was coming down (the construction is a bit shoddy-looking). Speaking of which, time to bring the cracks and crumbling ground under the supports up to the management :ee k:

No no no! Not more! :ban ned:
That's scary. EEK! You should get on management & stay on them until they fix the issues.

This not-quite-polka-dot blouse at TJ Maxx caught my eye. It felt splurgey at $40, but w/ 100% silk and Made in the USA... I justified it : P

I should also say I'm loving Express Sailor Shorts on these super hot days. After wearing so many short shorts lately, all the 4" inseams I bought last year seem way too big/loose
Your not-quite-polka-dot blouse is really cute. It would be equally cute, if it were a half moon print. Stick Out Tongue

Quote from kurips :
i might buy those portofino with reward... at regular price :o mg: took a while before they put the portofinos on sale.
abyss or cayman blue?
http://www.express.com/clothing/s.../cat910002
I didn't see the linked top in either color. I love the mint though. Between the two colors you asked about, I'd choose abyss. Now, I want a dress in that color. Bonk

Oops, I see you fixed the link while it was taking me forever to type my replies. I really like both colors, but I'd probably still choose abyss. That's a gorgeous color.

Facepalm how did i forget so quickly?? it's backordered too. man! that was the order that broke the camel's back - i wonder if it has something to do with the duplicate item?
