me too! i will wait to order those later as coupons don't work with those anyway.

let me know if you're around when it happens! i didn't load my car with my returns so i'll have to stop by home first...

and wow! well your rewards won't get eaten up with the glitch but coupons might.
Hm...I think I may play it safe, just in case! I might load my cart with more goodies on top of the minus the jackets just to see about the coupons, but I think I may be out of high tier ones.

But I'm still scared what if it screws up. I think I may play it safe...

have you tried the soft shorts?
http://www.express.com/clothing/2.../cat910029

curious what size i should get.
I have. They are terrible. It's satiny material. I thought they would be soft knit fabric or something.

So be warned, satin, hard to move in, thin, and just plain terrible. But I don't know, maybe you like satin for shorts. I sure don't. shake head

Quote from whitecastlesky :
Oh, you will get multiples of the same exact item in the same color? I will get that urge now & then and I have bought exact copy multiples before Frown I feel like a total psycho, but it's this reasoning - I love this item & want a back-up when the first one dies. But I never wear my clothes to death, so it makes no sense. I haven't done it in a while, which I'm proud of. Right now I'm obsessed with a particular tank top & I am getting several different colors, but I feel like I even need to stop with the different colors b/c I'm sure I have enough Frown They keep making new colors waaaahhhhh
I actually have worn out clothing! I'm so proud of myself when I do! Then I just pick up the same one in another color and BAM! I don't need to shop for something else shake head But that's probably just the crazy talking.

I know how you feel about all the new colors. That really kills me so much. I'm almost afraid to ask what tank...

Quote from PordaPoddy :
It works for DH too- heck, it's even more effective. After 6mos he doesn't even look, just says "toss it all". Yes..."silly" is what we'll call it for his sake Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) . This is the bag he brings [lowepro.com] even though we have a camera backpack as well. I think he thinks it's what the pros use or something? But whenever I see a special on nature photogs, it is NOT the sling. Well, maybe your DBF's backpack helps keep his core muscles in shape laugh out loud

I'll look into that when we get settled. Have a few days at the in-laws and then camping with wife-zilla shake head

Sailors are weird for me. I bought them last year in Size 4, but they can be cut so differently so I'd try 2 sizes in all colors. The regular ones have a lot of stretch in them, so I would probably have gone with 2 if I bought them this year, but the 4's aren't falling off and leg holes are still good. Also an FYI, while I love the look of the linen ones, they wrinkle like crazy and I have to iron/starch them.
OH NOOO! Good luck with that. Hope you come back in one piece!

Interesting about that camera sling. I should tell my brother to get one of those. He has his fancy camera in some lunch bag looking thing shake head

And oh no about the sailors!! I got them to try in 0. Well, sounds like they're going back.

Yes! Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think to search for it. Thought maybe one of you gals had it handy Smilie

I called them and VS Corporate told me that in CA, they are NOT SUPPOSED to run your ID through for online returns. There was a specific memo sent out to all the stores. I told them that it basically does not make me want to buy anything online anymore, and it doesn't.

So they are calling my store. Hopefully they will get it resolved. I think I'm already at like 5 swipes for online returns
I emailed and here is the response:

Thank you, so much, for taking the time to contact us. I understand your concern for your recent return at our XXXX Victoria's Secret Store location. It is my privilege to respond to you personally.


I assure you that it is normal for our stores to check I.D. for returns that were purchased either in-store, or online. Please be assured that your online returns do not count against the number of returns or exchanges that you may make for items purchased in the store. I apologize for any confusion that we caused.

This return method is used as a means of managing returns and exchanges. I regret that this may have been an inconvenience to you at the time.

Please note that these returns are managed by a third-party company, Retail Equation. You may contact Retail Equation at 1-800-652-2331 or visit their web site at www.retailequation.com.

I do appreciate your comments and suggestions regarding this matter. We value our reputation for excellent customer service, and always take great interest and initiative in making changes which are beneficial to our customers. I assure you that I have personally shared your comments with our returns department.

XXXX, you've chosen Victoria's Secret. We consider that a privilege. So, if there is anything else with which we can further assist you, please be sure to email or call us at any time.

Yours respectfully,

This is how our plan looks like Stick Out Tongue rocky national mountains, Colorado springs, great sand dunes, Mesa verde, Chaco Culture, Albuquerque and local attractions are in our plans. We are meeting my college friends in Denver and going to stay over with them. I am really excited about visiting Mesa Verde Whee
There are so many places worth visiting and activities worth doing... we are trying to manage it to not make so hectic.

Wave When I returned online ordered items in VS store few days back they did NOT see my ID.

Thanks so much for letting me know. Well, it's good to know that they don't count. But I like how my store doesn't ask anymore because it will take literally forever with returning, swiping IDs etc with the volume that I return.

I can't tell that there's any green. It's pretty.

Bonk Get to packing!

thanks hon!!! is the waist a little loose on the 4? i'm wondering if i need the 6 then... it's probably best if i try on in store. i always get larger sizes in the shorter ones. it looks great on you! (but man, those are bright)

love the shirt too! it's in my 'maybe' pile. Smilie

It is a little loose. It lets the shorts hang out on my hips. Also- they get stretched out during the day and snap back into shape after washing. Size 6 would be falling off me for sure. IMO, these shorts kind of rely on hips and butt to stay up. Oh yeah, they're like highlighter pink Teehee . Thanks Blush

I was maybe on that neutral polka dot portofino, but it helps calm the brightness down. I think I liked it best paired with the 2" trouser short in Mint [express.com](it's a little brighter than pictured)- then it reminds me of a Tiffany and Brown combo (albeit different shades).

I don't trust what he says. I guess I will find out when they swipe my card for the next returns and if it does not let me then I will know it is counting all.

i think my waist is bigger than yours, but hips/butt may be the same or smaller. maybe i will have to try the 4 also, if it hangs on your hips (that's where i would wear mine as well).

i have the shirt pictured in the mint trousers! what size for that one if i want it to hang on my hips?

How am I supposed to pack when you keep asking questions and you know I can't resist trying to help?! Chairbash


I have the 2" trouser shorts in 0, but 2 would have also worked (there was not a big size difference in the waist, only leg holes seemed smaller). They are 98% cotton and I have not washed them yet so I may come to regret getting the smaller size, but they feel quite stretchy too so Dontknow Even in the smaller size, the shorts stayed at my hips. I think you'd be fine with 2 but now I'm getting scared w/ all the sizing advice I'm giving, hope I don't steer anyone wrong! Hide I think GH tried these shorts too and may be able to comment.
