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!

What else could there possibly be? Thanks in advance!
I don't know off hand, just from another post that there is possible more codes coming out soon.

Quote from Wuzzlefield :
If anyone isn't using a free ship/pin combo that they got via email, I'd take it. I still have a few birthday emails and certs to use up.

Also, both of my loveswim orders got charged oddly for shipping, but I paid with a gift card so it wasn't adjusted. Make sure to watch that! I emailed and one rep had the difference refunded to my credit card and the other is having a check sent for the difference.
Ugh, I think most of mine I had to use my CC. I have to call tomorrow on one that they took my whole gc amount instead of just the 10.xx they were suppose to.

All my shipment confirmations show free shipping. Are my orders good or should I still be checking my card for an overcharge?

We need a sale on all tops. I want to buy several, including this one, to take advantage of bonus points, but we need a sale first.

NY&Co has FS on any order and 30% off with code 3380 thru Monday. Prices are good for most items IMO.

My shipment confirmations had the incorrect amount listed, so you should be okay. You could always double check just in case.

Whee I didn't have luck with the regular skater dresses either! The strapless one with lace they just added is cute too. I can not wait for the black to go on sale. I got the white a couple days ago.
I will be wearing mine with a belt that I purchased from VS. It is so cute.

Quote from kurips :
yall talk about overpacking shoes and clothes... how about our skincare and makeup? Girly Coverlaugh

i'm thinking i should bring more of my looser clothing. i'm planning to Eat a lot. last time, i was preggo, my tummy feels full easily even when my mouth and brain want more.
I feel like those things make the luggage more heavy and I don't want to strain DH's back or mine when we have to sling it into the car. Also - it's easier for me to buy skincare/MU (D-store works for emergencies) than clothes. For our trip to Hawaii I packed 3 dresses, 3 coverups, 6 swimsuits, 1 pant (convertible to shorts), 2 shorts, 1 bra, 2 sock and still ended up near 45lbs?! That almost exceeds the weight for a regular checked back much less a carryon. Why are things so heavy? Frown
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
When do yall think express's memorial day sale will start? I think they'll do a 40%, but if not I bet it's a sale with a buy more save more coupon. I'm thinking I may start loading my cart this afternoon.
good strategery! We'll be out of town, but if they turn it on Friday night, I'm on it! Woot

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Your sil needs to go to the dr. Does it go away without treatment? I wouldn't have a baby around it either. I haven't had it since I was little. When he got it his pediatrician gave me a rx for eye drops too. It's amazing I didn't get it. I was worried about the red eyes too plus his had yellow stuff in them EEK!. Whenever you have kids, you get to battle all the kid germs all over again. It sucks.

I am between sizes in the ruffley bottoms. The xs is too tight and the s is a bit baggy. My favorite is the ruched hipkini. 2nd fav would be double string.
...
Does her batsh*t craziness go away without treatment? Probably not laugh out loud She works in a medical office and got drops from a doctor there. She probably got a better exam than I did. My PA walked in manhandled my face for 2 seconds and then left Annoyed . Her eye seems better now. I see that on my FB newsfeed all the time - all the mommies reporting the bugs they get.

I think my fav swim bottom is officially thebanded bottom [victoriassecret.com]. I liked the coverage of the foldover one, but after analyzing them w/ back to back try-ons... I think the banded bottom provides ample cheek coverage but extra exposed leg on the side gives them length - whereas the foldover chops them up, draws attention to their circumference Scratchhead The ruched hipkinis are nice too. I used them for snorkeling and they stay put! I always worry about the strings, it's the first thing DH goes for when he sees me with them on OMG
Quote from azn1x6flame :
No new certs for me. Guess gotta figure out how to spend these last few.

About the refunds for the returns, don't you get what you paid + $10 back? I see that they are being categorized as "rewards" on my statement. I'm expecting to receive the price of the item I paid plus + $10 more.
...
Pray Crossing my fingers! They're showing up as Angel Rewards for me too on the shipping invoice. Oh... and now all but 1 order show shipping charges. Only 2 have been reimbursed. Facepalm What a mess!

Mall Report - Express - I tried on the handkerchief dress and I actually liked it quite a bit! It's a good length on me and the room in the bust allows the dress to stay at the intended length and not pull up. It might be better for a longer torso. It is double lined on top. I took photos at a few angles so I'll post them all.

ID:	1999110I tried the sleeveless Portofino and felt it was a little blah on me. I'm kind of liking the black colorblocked portofino with the white sides... Although when you put your arms down it has the effect of making you look wider. I want to say, the Bird Portofino and the black/white colorblock one are *definitely* cut shorter (esp in front) than the regular solid color portofinos.


Victoria's Secret - Today some SA insisted that the terms on the back of my $10 Reward card meant I needed to pay at least $10 OOP after Q. Huh I pulled out my older reward to see if the terms had changed and nope. The convo went like this:
SA: You need to make at least a $10 purchase to use this card
Me: Yes, that's right - these panties are $12.50
SA: The cards all say this on the back now, that you must make a $10 purchase
Me: (Nods) Yes, and this panty costs twelve dollars and fifty cents.......which is more than $10 (trying as hard as I can not to drip with sarcasm)
SA: It would only be $2.50
Me: (deep breath) I'm going to have to ask for a second opinion on this...
SA: - speaks into her secret service mic, tells other agent facts but adds "... but it would only be $2.50 and she needs to purchase $10!!!" Annoyed
new SA walks up: Hi so the customer wants to use both of these rewards on this one item?
Me: No, just 1
new SA: So... ?
Me: We disagree on the terms of the card. I believe this $12.50 panty meets the terms of a $10 purchase, while she is saying that I need to pay $10 OOP after Q.
new SA (throws SA a look, then says to me): So which reward did you want to use- how about the one that expires first? Let's do that - OK. (walks away)
Original SA's face totally drops, demeanor changes completely.
Me to original SA: Sorry, I don't normally push stuff like this, but I was wondering if the policy had changed.
SA: ALL cards say that now, she was just honoring the coupon for you as a courtesy. Bomb

I tried on the cream (maybe it's light pink ?). Love it. Also have to have to black. I always get the black because its my favorite color in clothes. Classic and sexy!
