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.

I just tried the VS jeans I ordered. I was hoping for a higher waistline, but I don't think they're any higher than my Express jeans. They're definitely not as high as the MIA jeans. DH says they're more flattering on the booty than the Stella & Zelda styles. The black midi skinny jeans are more like Express leggings. The legs are tighter than I'd like, but I'm still keeping them for what I paid. The Love skinny jeans are a little bigger in the legs. I prefer the waist to booty look of the Midi jeans, & the legs of the Love jeans. Next time I'll try straight leg or bootcut in VS jeans instead.

Thanks for the review on the tankinis.. I was debating between those exact same two.. : )
I reordered a size down on the black, Unforgettable tankini. I'll let you know how it compares, when I get it.

Quote from nerdicus :

Anyway, got a bunch of packages today. 2 vs had certs in them. Many didn't. The 2 were the last ones I placed tho.

Express trouser shorts - short, but cute. I may keep the cheap ones. But they are a little short for me. also, the 2 fits me ok but it can slip off my hips depending on how stretchy the material is. the black ones look small, but wide. : ( it must be that black fabric - it's more stretchy than other colors. the neon blue fits the best because it doesn't stretch. i think i'm keeping the mint, but it's a little big. i don't think i would like the 0 though - too tiny for me. i need a little room in my shorts so that they sag and aren't so small.
I still didn't get any certificates in my VS orders. I'm not too upset about it, because I'm almost afraid to order from them anyway.

My DH loved the pitch black, sailor shorts. I also tried the blue ones. The blue pair were the more expensive pair in a BOGO deal. I have a feeling, if the pitch black shorts were the more expensive pair, he would have thought they were worth $23.++. He didn't think the blue ones were. I may reorder them or buy more of the sailor shorts, if I can get a great deal.

Quote from Luv2shop247 :
I received my order from the Express sale yesterday, and apparently the cropped cotton sateen pants in salmon weren't actually that style....it is a cropped chino!!! I was so confused...grrrrr...and I don't like the fit at all, they are way too baggy, so i'm pretty sure they are going back!! But i do like the black cropped sateen pants for sure!
Sorry they didn't work out. Hopefully, you can find another color you like in the cropped sateen pants to exchange them for.

Quote from nerdicus :
the 2 in sailor and trouser were both equally big on me (in black) but not as big in some other colors. i think the mint and black fit the same (too wide), but the dark green color and neon blue fit smaller (these are ok). i'm scared to size down to 0 bc i think it'll be too small for me. i did get a 0 sailor black to try and felt that it was too small for my liking. shake head perhaps this is yet another one of those things i'm in between sizes on... Sadwalk at least the neon blue fits!

i'm not sure what blue the sailor comes in. i quite like the neon blue trouser short color - it's not that bright but it's also different from the cobalt color so often used (that i already have). i love the sailor buttons! not sure what's wrong with your DBF and brother. Teehee men! they don't understand. hehe (i'm sure my DH would say the same thing...) i think i like the sailor fit bc it's flat in front. Dontknow
Here are the blue sailors [express.com]. The picture doesn't do them justice. Looks better in person for sure!
Quote from red333 :
So weird. Before I started dating the guy I'm with now, I had a previous boyfriend that I was with for almost 5 years. We don't talk anymore, which is fine. It wasn't a particularly bad breakup because we just weren't interested in each other at the end. He defriended me, likely because I'm too happy.

I'm really hard to find on fb. My profile is locked down so my students can't find me specifically. His new gf just found me and asked me if my ex was "an unpredictable person" and "regularly treated others like shit." She asked me for help understanding the person he is because she's been with him over a year.

...so weird. I responded to the message, but it's so sad to me to think that he's turned into a person like that. She must be pretty desperate to contact me Frown

...so weird
That is strange. However, people change and though you might have had good and bad times with him, I just think that people change and maybe his change wasn't for the better.

I really want some Eva shorts! But the inseam is too long for me Sadwalk But maybe I'll give them a try one day...I am just so excited to find shorts that work for me. I never really had any luck and was in dire need of shorts.

did you try the high rise legging jean? that may be the fit for you!
http://www.victoriassecret.com/cl...ueType=OLS

the certs came in orders placed 5/21.

what size did you go with on the sailor shorts? i'm gonna have to try more. did you think they were ok in length? i know you don't like them too short. i don't know why but i feel like the sailor feels less short than the trouser with the same inseam. Dontknow i hoarded the shorts - wish i could give you my deal! i don't think i need that many...

the 3.5 feels short on me. laugh out loud short but doable... which probably does translate to "too long" for you. Smilie you should try them sometime tho... may as well!

oh i have lots and lots of shorts. i definitely don't need more. i'm glad you found ones that you love!

I forgot to mention earlier that the VS jeans I ordered were size 2, so they run similar to Express jeans.

Try the Sirens :no d: I think they may have a mid-rise one. : )

If you're referring to the cobalt Eva shorts, the colors aren't similar. I compared them. The sailor shorts are more of a dark turquoise. They're not bright like cobalt. (I'm not great with colors, so you may have a different definition. Embarrassment They're very different colors though.)

I only tried the midi & Love jeans. Both were supposed to be skinny jeans. I've got a few pair of Express leggings that I never wear, but I may try the VS high-cut version anyway.

I got a 2 in the sailor shorts. The waist has a gap, but they fit okay everywhere else. I rarely tuck my shirt in, so the fact that they're too big should be hidden. A 0 would probably be tight. The pitch black, linen shorts are a little bigger than the blue cotton shorts. (I didn't specify earlier, but the linen shorts were the ones DH loved.) They are short, but they cover everything they need to. Stick Out Tongue I'll wear them for DH, when it's just the two of us. They're too short for me to feel comfortable wearing them out with DS.

I got the Majorelle Blue bikini set in. It's pretty! It's the right blue to match with the sour yellow set. I love it! Whee I think I was supposed to tell you, right? I can't remember.

Anyway, I watched the first season of Scandal. It's pretty good! I'm trying not to get addicted to shows, so I might skip the second since it's not on Netflix.
I forgot to tell you a week ago that they did not look bad together, but I am going with all Sour Yellow swim pieces.

Pretty good?!?! I am addicted. Once I get my DVR down to a manageable level (currently I only have 1% free), I will be having a Scandal marathon. Re-watching all episodes from both seasons. Yea!

the linen pitch black shorts were the ones i loved also! if the blue cotton are smaller than linen then i should try those - the pair of cotton sailor shorts i tried in store were giant compared to the linen. i thought the linen fit me very well and i didn't even think they felt that short.

so it's not cobalt but teal huh? now i want them. Stick Out Tongue thanks a lot! Bonk

Yeah, dark teal is probably a better description. The cotton shorts were definitely smaller in the waist than the linen shorts. They were a little more snug everywhere. They actually fit me better, but I didn't like them as much. It's odd that the cotton shorts you tried on were bigger. Maybe someone stretched them out. It wouldn't really be surprising, if they weren't all cut the same though.
