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!

Ok I ordered something that was 10, towel and the bo item. I used the 10 off cert and gc for the rest. So the total wax 95.xx. It shows my payment total 105.00. When the in stock stuff shipped it shows on my ship confirmation that I have a shortage of 5.xx. At the time I was thinking Confused and now you guys posted I realized my shipping would be higher than the 5.99, which that is why it would come up 5.xx short.
I'd go ahead and call just in case. They charge bo in a gc when the order is placed instead of waiting so I think you should go ahead and call to see what's going on.

I just on the rest of the orders now charged to my cc, they are done correctly. So they must have fixed the problem for ones on 16th.

3 for $50 tops til Wednesday. Code teetime!
Thanks Smilie Yes, I can definitely see how it would be too big on you. If they had a smaller size, I would have tried it!

Whee I want 40% Off the whole site with Q's allowed on Friday. Thursday would be fine too. nod

Oh no, I forgot about being out of town for Memorial Day weekend. I most likely won't be here on Friday. Frown Thanks for the heads-up, so I'll have time to try to figure something out.

How long were you gone? I would make it maybe 2 days with those clothes & that's with washing & drying the bra overnight. laugh out loud You're nicer to your DH than I am to mine.

I almost ordered those, but went with the metallic ones instead. Did I goof? Sadwalk
...
Yeah I ordered a sewing machine from FP and had to get 1-day shipping so that I wouldn't miss delivery ($4 upgrade was cheaper than $6 hold UPS charges).

We had 9 nights in HI. I wasn't counting the bra I was wearing. I also had a sports bra. Oh forgot to mention I brought 3 light tops. Most of the time I used my swim suit as the bra and underwear. I wanted to be prepared to hop in the water at any time.

The weight is more about me wanting to be able to be self-sufficient in case of _fill_in_the_blank__ Blush . This is my overthinking (I'm not judging any of you, this is my own self-guilt) - I don't want to be a burden and I don't want to put myself ahead of anyone else's needs just b/c I can't make a decision on what to bring. DH & I had a chat about this not too long ago and he mentioned that he struggles to pack b/c his clothes are so much bigger than mine - for him to pack a pair of shoes - it's almost a no go, and his pants/shorts take up a ton of room. With all that considered, I look at DH trying to fit into the same size suitcase as mine, and think about how much more I can bring than him - so I'll allow myself that. Now if it's a road trip... all bets are off! Girly Teehee

No goof! I have the metallic ones too! The ruched side (hipkini) bikini ones show more side leg than either the foldovers or regular bikini bottoms.

told you the bird one had higher pockets! Stick Out Tongue that dress looks super cute on you! glad that it's a longer dress (sorry alvs)... i'll have to add to my wish list. what size?
...
Scratchchin I don't know that the pockets are higher... in relation to the bottom of the shirt sure... but distance from the shoulder (would that be' pocket drop'? laugh out loud ). I will have to measure!
Thanks! That is the XS in the photo.
I think I was talking to you about peplum jackets? I got to try the suiting one in-store and it has no give, really don't like it compared to the ponte peplum one I got from Clearance ~90 days ago. OTOH, I got the pleated sleeve jackets in the mail and I heart those! Thanks for the sizing on that, 0 was perfect!
Quote from nerdicus :
i got to wear my white/black bandage dress, striped maxi (ny&co), bronze lace top with black bandage dress this weekend. i also wore my polka dot portofino and tulip back rolled sleeve shirt. i think i got the most compliments for the portofino. laugh out loud the bronze lace bandage dress was great though - comfy for a night out but also sexy with a push up (plus you can wear a regular bra).
Glad you had a great time and got to break out some pieces. Just the polka dot eh? It's weird what ppl compliment on... I would have thought it would be one of the dresses. Dontknow

i know you like high waist - vs has full high waist while all the express ones are low waist. vs also have a few other options - all of which are higher than express. (plus i think vs jeans are better quality) there's a mid rise, a rise that's higher in back than in front. my personal favorite is the low 5 but it is still low waist. it just hits my midsection in the perfect spot to not accentuate my love handles while still not cutting into my stomach (but i'm sure my perfect spot is different from others Teehee). i'm not a fan of high waist because it's uncomfortable for me so i wouldn't know which ones you would like. our midsections are shaped differently too.
Thanks for the info. What do you think about mid rise for me? I found a couple pair on sale.

ok i just went through all the sale ones. i had no idea the siren had a mid-rise and a low-rise version!

i think you should try the vs love. it's made for curvy figures so that may be what you need. looks like it's only available in longer inseams however, unfortunately. i thought someone raved about the fit of those in here, but i could be remembering wrong.
http://www.victoriassecret.com/cl...ueType=OLS

there is also a high rise skinny on sale:
http://www.victoriassecret.com/cl...ueType=OLS

if you have a free returns code, i would try those 2 and a mid-rise siren and see which you love the best. i generally wear a 2 in vs jeans - they fit more snug than a 2 in express jeans for me (express has more stretch so it feels bigger to me). i'm not sure if those codes are working on these sale items tho.

oh! i also like the pencil - to me it often fits similar to the stella skinny leg (not the jeggings) - but i've also tried some vs pencil jeans that were extremely unflattering. those are probably a higher rise than my low 5 but they still fit me well and are flattering. Dontknow i have no idea why i love some and hate others.

finally went through charges on the angels card. looks like there were 3 additional swim charges. 2 were put back, one as "other adjustment". Annoyed i know i will have an issue with that one later.

at least the fs with clothing pin seemed to work ok.

does anyone know if the cert stacks with new angels rewards? i got a $15 one in the mail.

i think you are right about that color block kissing placket blouse. i may have thought it was too wide and short. i didn't hate it - i just didn't think it was amazing and i have a lot of similar shirts. i tried it on quite some time ago - it was probably over a month ago.

i do have the clearance one with the tux tails. it's also super duper wide and i keep wondering if i'll actually wear it bc it's so wide. i got the black and the pink and am probably returning the pink (it's not a color that flatters me). i wish the clearance version were a tiny bit longer on me - it would look better with jeggings for me if it were longer.

That was fast! Mine is $30! I hope it comes soon! Wonder if I should buy swim or wait?

You think express will start the memorial day sale tomorrow night?

The shoulders are narrow and it is short, especially on the front. It's good for us petite ladies.
