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!

i'm excited for it! though it will probably be a few inches long for me considering how long that lace dress was... but i heart the pattern so much. i almost used a reward on it blindly... but it's too difficult to exchange for size i think. i hate how unpredictable their sizing is.

laugh out loud i said i had no interest and somehow just placed 2 orders... Scratchhead
Roll i do the same thing sometimes!

it is a cute dress. i'm jealous their maxi's are too long. i should break down and start altering stuff. i just think it's silly because i find too much stuff that doesn't need altering.

yeah i know what you mean. i hate having stuff altered but sometimes i do think it's necessary. i have another maxi from them that's super long that i need to wear heels with. i hope i can do the same with this one, as it's sort of dressy so i would probably want to wear heels with it anyway.

i just got birthday emails from vs. i got less this month than last month, even though my bday is in june. laugh out loud now i'm just waiting for express! i really hope it's on its way...

the never ending winter has made me think twice about moving farther north. southern girls hate the cold and for me it's cold unless it's at least 80 Teehee.

the lace fs dresses.
Yup, I bought both colors in 2 and 4. I'll have to see what I think of those. I wasn't crazy about the blue until I saw it on you. It looks like it hits you at the knee, which judging by the picture, is where it's supposed to hit you. It just looks like a more conservative dress than what I may want. I'm excited for it to come in.

i like the blue. it's pretty. it hits a little below my knees. i think it would be cuter if it hit right above them.

The thing about express is that the way we buy these dresses, the alterations would cost just as much as the dress itself. There's always another dress if one of them isn't perfect.

agreed. that's why i am so against it. i should consider altering maxi's just because i'm short and they're hard to find in petite sizes. i just don't wear maxi's that often. they're really pretty but get in my way and on my nerves.

and make it that much harder to keep up with ds Teehee.

Aawe. Yes, I can't even imagine running in a maxi dress Smilie I bet DS knows his advantage as well Smilie

I have the opposite problem with short dresses, but I can't make those longer. I size up in the skater and fit and flare dresses to S, which has some extra fabric in the waist but look great with a belt. The extra 1-1.5" on the bottom make a huge difference for me.

Oh, I meant to ask you. Did you keep that one-shoulder floral dress or the strapless floral dress? I'm hoping those go on clearance as well...

I have them both! They're both really cute. I can not wait to wear them on vacation. I think the strapless fits a tad bit tighter than the one shoulder. If I had to pick one, I'd get the one shoulder. It's the cutest.

When ds was a toddler he used to try to hide under my maxi's too. Thought it was a tent or something laugh out loud.

it hits me right above the knee. i'll bet it'll hit you around there, perhaps an inch above the knee. the 4 is longer on me than the 2, but fits almost just as snug. though the blue is tighter than the black for some odd reason. i can zip them up but the blue 2 squeezes in some places (around seams) and doesn't lay flat bc it's smaller so it's pretty unflattering on me. it'll probably work on you though - especially if you don't have unsightly flab around your midsection like me. there is room for me around the hips/rear.

nod ITA! i don't think it's worth altering a $20-30 dress. i have yet to get anything altered. however, i am not against it - i will be getting some dress pants hemmed (but either my mom or MIL can do that i'm sure - i can actually do it myself probably but i'm far too lazy to. Teehee)

This is just way too cute Big Grin

I'm thinking about those dresses. I like bright floral dresses. I loved that bright pink and orange one from last year.

Also, I should have posted about this tank. I love love love it. I have it in black and white, and my store has it in red and blue. I want both. I think it's really flattering. The XS was a little tight in the boobs, so I sized up to a S.

Man, I'm getting nothing done today. It's just so hard for me to be motivated.

It's a fitted petite tee from Ann Taylor. I like to buy the petite fitted tees from br, at, or loft. They fit me better.


Glad everything is going good!
Figures. Sadwalk I need to start looking other places for cute, casual top. It's just so hard to pay more, when we get Express tops so cheaply. Those cheap tops don't do a lot of good hanging in my closet though. shake head

it's so sad that i have no interest in anything at express these days. i totally forgot to order during the 1000 point bonus days. there's really not much that i want either...
I forgot about the 1000 bonus points too. Doh They didn't give me bonus point for the tees I ordered last month.

Quote from nerdicus :
:sadw alk: i think i'm going to order it without code just to have it in my possession then... i probably should have done so while the bonus was still going on. oh well!

speaking of fashion star i somehow ordered that maxi dress in a 2 just now! i added it from my wish list and it said 1 in stock! :scra tch: weird, since when i went to the page it said unavailable... anyhoo hope it ships!
Fingers crossed! Whee
