I have found that that means it will be shipping USPS, and after a day or 2, there will be tracking number.

Love those tops. You know if they have the peach bottom in another style?

I need your advice of how to make more room for stuff.

Yall are avid shoppers and I am wondering how do you store all your stuff. Over the weekend, I was doing a cleaning and had trouble putting things away b/c I had no more room.

I think I'm also a secret hoarder or something b/c I have difficulty parting with things even though I may not have worn something yet, but it was probably bought over a 2+ years ago.

Once in awhile, I go through this and get rid of a LOT of stuff and then I have remorse. For example, I still think about this particular pair of shoes which I donated a few years ago b/c I was so overwhelmed with cleaning and such.

Any tips?

Just wondering, how do you know when your account is "locked" with VS? Will codes just stop working?

Also, on another note, I have tried returning something with the GWP towel and they did not ask for the towel back even though it was shown on the bottom and top of the invoice. They did a full refund for the item I had paid for.

When I say locked I mean they aren't allowing any more cert inserts in my account. You can use some random number around 8 or that's what it was. I can still use other codes. I'm just saying cert locked for the insert cards.

I had to borrow some of dh's luggage weight when we went to Miami. The shoes had to go in his suitcase :tee hee: .


When does it end?
DH's luggage doesn't help me. I pack for both of us, so he's always over packed too. Facepalm

Quote from nerdicus :
you should be ok in the 2, i think. remember - i'm not a good judge of character for shorts bc i like them loose, so my view of "fit" for shorts is very skewed. iirc your waist is smaller than mine but you may have more hips/butt bc i am a little lacking in the butt area. since these are higher rise, i would think that you would be ok in a 2 to fit your waist. they might be sized similarly to express but i just feel like express jeans are less tight since they are so stretchy. :don tknow:

azn raves about the sirens - you should try those if you're looking for black!
Quote from azn1x6flame :
Random quote, because I somehow lost the post I was replying to. Confused
Thanks ladies. I ended up ordering the Love & the black Siren jeans both in size 2. Ordering both sizes would have killed the deal I got. If they're too small, I'll return & try a 4.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
I've even done it at the airport. I like to annoy the workers :tee hee:!
I rearrange at the airport all the time. If I didn't, I'd have to pay for even more bags. Usually, someone else is right there with me rearranging theirs too. laugh out loud The airline employees are probably used to it by now. People aren't going to pay for an extra bag, if they don't have to.

Quote from nerdicus :
my lace back kimono dress at vs dropped down to $50. with cert, angels reward, and perfume reward card (and fs with clothing) i got it for $15. :wo ot:
Nice deal!

Quote from nerdicus :
ny&co:
i got this dress [nyandcompany.com] in size 0 and it fits me perfectly. very flattering dress and comes all the way down to the knees. however, the puffed sleeves look a little funny. that combined with the sharp diamond cut of the neckline is too much for me i think. DH called it lady gaga. :er mm: i think i am going to return.

the chambray shirtdress [nyandcompany.com]: this fit very oddly - it was very puffed out up top but the bottom skirt part was ok. overall it wasn't very flattering. i thought my wide shoulders and taller figure could pull it off, but the dress was made for someone with a longer torso than me or something.
It's too bad the first dress didn't work. That's a gorgeous dress.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
I'm too cheap to pay for a checked bag so cheapskate, more so than discipline :l ol: It's easier for the HI trip b/c it's warm definitely, but also we go every year so I know what to expect. The unknown makes me anxious and I just freeze up and DH is like - "we have to leave for the airport NOW" I feel so bad for him. I'm doing better with it, but I still stay up all night the night before we fly trying to force myself to make a decision on what to bring. : O

I hope they work for you, if not, and what Azn said is right, return them and they'll return the $10 credit to you and you can try another pair : )

Now, you're probably not going to believe this...but when DH used to go to TX every week (Mon PM - F), he would only take his backpack (stuffed w/ laptop, headphones, etc) and THIS TEENY THING [ebags.com] . When I would pick him up at the airport at the end of the week, he was smelling pretty ripe. He had the right # of undergarments but was reusing pants (and shirts? :dont know: )Thankfully he has upgraded to a larger carry-on. He would really rather carry more tech gear than more clothes. He used to bring a guitar with him so he would he could practice while he was away. For the HI trip, he had about 75lbs of carry-ons b/w the tech stuffed backpack and all the camera equipment. I end up carrying that stuff half the time so I guess he's the over packer :r oll:
I'm a fellow last night packer. High Five. Now I don't feel so bad about taking too many clothes. We rarely take electronics, even a camera, on vacation. DH & I would be good candidates for the witness protection program. Stick Out Tongue Neither of us likes having our picture taken, & I don't like pics. w/o people in them. When DS stopped traveling with us, we stopped taking a camera. If we take anything, it's usually one of our Iphones to play music on. That fits in DH's pocket.

Quote from smilinghelen :
When I went to do an online return in store last week, the SA was adamant that I needed to have the FULL order invoice, not just the tear off bottom return portion, then when I told her that I've never heard that, and I've had no problems before with just the bottom portion, she acted like she was doing me a favor by returning it by scanning the return part of the invoice... probably trying to make sure people doing returns send back the extras if the order has those... mine didn't for that order in any case, but we'll see how things go when I end up exchanging a swim order more than likely.. seeing as my towel has shipped :wo ot:
Are you supposed to return GWPs, when returning an online purchase to the store? If so, that's good to know. I never would have thought to return it.

Quote from nerdicus :
i think my express notifies them by phone - "that girl is here... you can change the website now!" :rofl 2:
LMAO

Quote from nerdicus :
what kind of shoes would you wear with a ballerina outfit? pumps? it'll be something a little like this:
http://www.weddingpartyapp.com/bl...miads8.png

but with skirt right above the knee and black wide neck short sleeve shirt instead of tank. i was thinking round toe black pumps to resemble ballet flat.
I agree with black pumps. nod

Quote from hba123 :
Ladies, check orders carefully. Had an order still in process from 5/15 so I called this morning and was told that the 2 gcs used for $45 had no value on them and they needed my authorization to put entire amt. on my cc. First of all, why wasn't I contacted about this? Second, that's bs--I keep track of all my gcs and they were fully loaded. I know Tarri also recently had a gc problem. On the phone for almost an hour. CS could not find any charges on gcs except for this order and called store cs to see if used instore. Of course not, so CS is stumped..does not know what happened to $$ on both cards. First she was willing to give me $15 credit...umm that means I agree to lose $30. No way. Does more research, talks with supervisor, more research. Finally agrees gcs not used prior to this order, cannot explain what happened, credits my order for gc amts. I said I assume the towel is now OOS and of course it is. Giving me a $15 EGC to make up for that. I just don't understand what is wrong with them!!!
How can they all of a sudden start having so many billing problems? I don't get it. Have they changed their computer programs recently? Something fishy is going on. People need to start reporting these issues to the BBB. Someone needs to put a stop to it.

Quote from nerdicus :
after i first heard of gc issues i decided i wouldn't use my gc's with these certs and fs codes. i don't have an hour to spend on the phone with cs!
I wish I'd known that yesterday. I used a GC on both my orders with a cert. & a FS code. Down

I'd be calling in those surveys!
It's too far for weekly trips.

I just did a return and they didn't ask for ID woot So calling did work! I wish I called earlier, but was so busy. I was listening to one of the nicer managers train that new girl and she actually said that there's a button for "NO ID" GRRR. All this time shake head

Except they put all my returns from different accounts into one bag Facepalm They were training someone new. I should've been more careful shake head

however i do have 1 order with status:
Order Date: 05/16/2013
Ship Date:
Ship Method: OTHER

what does that mean?? i have not gotten a ship confirmation.
Usually that means it's being shipped by USPS. I never get the tracking on the order page, so I just look it up when I eventually get my email
