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!

Does anyone know when the SAS starts for card holders? I'm sitting on some gift cards and am getting antsy.

Thanks! They are both cute! I think I Iike the darker color a little better.
I like the darker color better, but the lighter one is different and has more butt coverage. I think I'm keeping both!
Quote from PordaPoddy :
Agreed. I just got the set yesterday and think the shade will wash me out. I didn't try the other set, but now I will. Thanks for the comparison shot Nerdi!
NP - I am not light enough to be washed out by peach. laugh out loud IMO they are the same shade/tone, only lighter and darker tho. They go together well even though they're not the same color.
Quote from Luv2shop247 :
I must be going crazy now... I had a dream that express put their clearance on sale for .25 a piece, and if you bought something, you got a free coupon (in the shape of jean shorts) for any pair of shorts... aye yai yai! LOL
Roll that is awesome! you know you're an addict when... laugh out loud

I haven't heard back from vs. I replied to the order confirmation so it takes forever. I should go back and do new emails.
I hit "reply" on my shipping confirmation (it's got the later date on it), and then change the email address to their customer service address. I get the auto reply almost instantly this way, and a reply maybe about a day later. I see Icey does the same thing.
Quote from smilinghelen :
I bought the ruffle bikini separates and they came in yesterday.. I'm pretty happy with how they look, but I don't think I ordered the right size.. ordered size M for both pieces, haven't tried it, but doesn't look like it'll fit me right.. going to give to brothers wife when they visit here in June... they live in South America, so I have a care bundle filled with panties ready to give her.. :l ol: what else am I going to do with all those lacie thongs, cotton panties and PINK panties.. :r oll:... no idea if it's appropriate to be giving panties out, but me and my sister have been doing that every time she's visited, as my brother has said he appreciates it.
...
The ruffle set runs small. I always buy S tops at VS and I had to get a M for that set. The S was itty bitty. The S bottoms fit me but are definitely on the cheeky side - I think they are meant to be that way. DH liked it but I'm not sure he'll want me to wear it to the pool... we'll see! (this is why I may keep both sets... the other set runs normal sized)

Oh and I think it's nice that you give your panty collection away. People overseas love VS stuff. When I lived overseas I used to come back and hoard during SAS - I never knew about all these other great perks!

I had a job interview yesterday Whee Not even looking but it was my husbands former company. They had a position come open and called me thinking I'd be a perfect fit. I have a little phone interview today, should know something by the end of the day. Not sure I want to quit being lazy and go to work though :l ol:

Putting DD back in daycare makes me :sad walk:
awww that is so great that they contacted you out of nowhere. it sounds like a great opportunity. but it will be sad to not be with DD all day! anyway congrats!
Quote from IceyNiki :
If I were you, I would reply to the Order Confirmation email but change the email address to Customer Care. The last time I replied to an email from Order/Shipment Confirmation VS never responded. Had the audacity to said it wasn't their email address. I proved them wrong.
nod great minds think alike. Wink I've been doing this ever since the first time the auto reply stopped working. i'm impatient - when i didn't get the auto in a few hours i replied again.

we have our regular mailers (i never got one this time Annoyed but alvs posted her code) but who knows if they'll work... my guess is they'll do a sale, no coupons again. not sure if they'll allow the birthday coupon but they may - and it would be a great time for those may birthdays to use their coupon in store.

do you have a-list FS? i can't keep track of the a-list girls... we need a list!

Frown i know how you feel... i may go in store and exchange some of my stuff that are on exchange only receipts. i think i'm going to get that white dress vs the polka dot even tho i love polka dots... the shirt is enough! that white/ivory is versatile bc it'll go with black or brown belt.

Could not agree more with this de-cluttering, anti-hoarding method. I lose most attachments to items when I haven't seen them for 6mos or more nod Over time, that has been most effective for me


I think so. I like DH's techy hobbies though b/c the photography is something we do together, but a lot of the redundancy annoys me- or that he uses those one-shoulder sling packs that "look cool" but when it comes to weight distribution it's horrible b/c you only have one strap with 50lbs on it. :ma d: He tries to carry it all himself, but he's bad with balancing things so I've seen the camera bag swing off his rolling carry-on and hit the floor. You know he's going to want to replace whatever he breaks doing that...


I would have today, but I had DH with me. He's uncomfortable enough being in store with me, especially during returns, a showdown with the SA and corporate is not an option w/ him there. ETA- thanks for the info that it shouldn't be allowed in Cali, I might call corporate on all three!
I just threw away quite a few things I was holding on to in my previous decluttering binges. It's so much easier to go back with a different perspective and toss things! The decluttering continues! I tackle my closet once or twice a year and I kind of feel that itch coming back...

Your DH sounds silly! I would be Mad if DBF broke a camera because he wants to look "cool." When DBF comes by, he usually has a backpack stuffed to the bring, sometimes with a laptop and that thing is so heavy, I struggle lifting it shake head

Yes - you should call corporate on all three! It will make your returns easier. It goes by SOOO much faster without getting the ID swiped and saves so much time. At least for me because I do multiple at a time.

Ruffle bikini 2 PC set and ruffle bikini separates in peach/guava. The separates are darker. I like both sets but they're soo similar...
Both are super cute! I like how the darker one has the ruffles on the back of the bottom. Seems to be a cute look. But the other one is really cute too in a different way! I'd keep both! Whee

laugh out loud I feel you - sometimes I dream about stores and getting some sweet deals! Keep your eye out for Express and this thread! There might be a window of opportunity! Whee

I was sending a PA request. I completely forgot for weeks, and of course when I realized that VS had not responded the item was back to regular price. Not my problem. The initial rep who answered my email at the Customer Care email stated that it was not their email address, but I found the email address on the email she sent me. They had no choice but to honor the PA. This was months ago. I do not use those auto-populated reply emails any longer. Apparently, no one is checking them like they used to.

wait, it's see through? Frown i thought it wasn't. the polka dot isn't too bad!

i don't own a half slip... Shutup but you mentioning it reminded me of the youtube personality 'happy slip'. ever watch her videos? i think they're hilarious and you might understand some of the cultural stuff in her skits better than me.

wow, i'm glad you got them to honor it! i just hit 'reply' only so that a copy of the invoice etc are on the email. i haven't been using the auto emails either since they stopped monitoring it.
