Got my SAS bras. All the pink colors are all bright neon pink. Nothing like the pictures. And I got bras in wrong sizes and colors too. I think the shipping guys just got tired of putting in bras and just shoved in whatever they could find. shake head Most of them are going back. I'm only keeping 1 and doing return/rebuys on 2.

How pathetic is it that I'm Woot, because I finally found the right bra size that fits the way it should & covers everything it needs to? Embarrassment

I finally got some certificates in my 2 packages today. One package had tankinis & the other had the bra I'm so excited about. laugh out loud If I remember correctly, that's my last packages I have coming. I'll probably order more bras & another tankini soon hoping for more certificates.

Quote from nerdicus :
how bout a bandeau? a black bra should work also as long as you don't mind your straps showing. or maybe a black bra with clear straps?
I don't mind wearing a bra with matching straps under my other tops that are sheer on the shoulders. I just wouldn't want a sheer top over the chesticles.

I received that red dress from VS we talked about a few pages back. It looked awful, and nothing like in the photo. I really don't think VS will have a dress that I like.
Sorry to hear. That really sucks hug

Sadwalk My parents just bought a Keurig from Bloomies. I wish I had known this was coming shake head
Quote from nerdicus :
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'm losing interest as well. I have some tops I want, so I'll probably grab some of those, but I'm all Expressed out for now. Which is a good thing nod
Quote from nerdicus :
i'm losing my mind. i got all confused bc i deposited a check from a negative balance from express and then it didn't show up on my express card account online.... bc it was from vs, not express. Facepalm shake head
Did you still have to call to get your check? Or was it automatic? I'm going to have a pretty big negative VS balance and I want to cash out but it's been a while for me.
Quote from IceyNiki :
The yard sale...it went well. The turnout was not as good as last year probably because people were in church. It started raining about 45 minutes before the end, so we did not get the people returning from church. My bestie sold all the children's toys she brought. I made > $100, which was great. I really had no expectations because I am not familiar with what the people want or what they are willing to pay. I had a good time.
Glad the yard sale went well! Some extra cash is always nice! Whee Will you do more?

No! It's perfectly fine to be Woot about finding the right fitting bra! That is soooo incredibly difficult for some reason!

this one just showed up. and it was really fast also. it's kind of random for me - takes 1-2 billing cycles for the auto-check. this time the returns JUST posted (like, maybe 12 days ago) and i got the check already.

sad part is, now i have a positive balance on my acct. i'll need to dig up some more stuff to return. *sigh*

could be good, not sure. haven't tried.
Thanks

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
bought it during the 40% stack. i think it was krusty that linked it a few weeks ago so i had my eye on it. i like it. very cute. i bought cassis, grape punch, black, and sugar coral. i returned sugar coral. it was a tad see through.
Is the waist line as short as the other peplum tops? It looks like it may be a little longer. That looks really comfortable, if the waist line is long enough.

I have ordered & returned so many bras looking for the right size it's ridiculous. shake head

I'm going to try some of the other styles hoping to find one I like better, but I'm definitely keeping this one. Unfortunately, it looks like a granny bra. I'm hoping to find one less matronly. laugh out loud

which one is it? this prompted me to order another bra that i've recently started to love. it's 25% off right now due to SAS - that plus 10 off q makes it better than waiting for august and the 15 off angels pbos.

crap, just realized i forgot to add cotton panty that comes with the code. Doh oh well. i have a lot of those.

Ahh, thanks. Hm...I don't know if I can last that long in the negative balance! laugh out loud

I am still debating some pants. I got the Kate Flare in 32" inseam and I love the fit. I just don't like how there are no pockets whatesoever. It's also a bit long. It hits the floor with my highest heels, or maybe they were in my 3" heels. Not sure if I should keep because of the questionable length hitting the floor. Might look sloppy. I love the fit because Express does not have comparable pants.

All the Express Columnist [express.com] pants are ehhh except the black ones that I just heart I want to try the double weave ones, but I'm hesitant because I need some flaring at the bottom to balance out my hips.

i know right? i was hoping my 300+ neg balance would help with all the orders i'm sure to be placing... but they sent me a check so fast! it may have been because i had a negative balance last month also (a smaller neg... and then it went positive and then i sent in more returns... laugh out loud).

i liked the kate fit also. mine were long for me as well... i think i got the 34". i ended up returning due to length, although dress pant hem is probably the easiest hem you can do. so if the only thing you're iffy about is the length, you should probably keep them and get them hemmed. (no pockets tho? hmmmm i wouldn't like that either)

express dress pants are no longer nice - i miss the editors from 5+ yrs ago. those fit me very well. nowadays i can get some of them to fit, but it's all dependent on each specific pair of pants... so it's harder to guess what i'll like and what i won't like. makes it so difficult!

Help How could they butcher your order near the beginning of Early Access to the SAS?

i'm really sorry to hear that. Comfort Hope the mistake bras weren't at the top of your Wish List! Just out of curiosity, which color codes turned out to be bright neon pink? [H64] is one of the only ones that come to mind, and [25A] is the bright sugar pink.

Was this the lace back dress you showed us a while ago? [victoriassecret.com] I duno if you ended up snatching it at a lower price...but it's on clearance.

Maybe I need to try another Kate Fit. I wish they had it in 30" inseam. That would've been perfect for me! I really don't like the no pockets business. I thought maybe they were sown together and you can decide to open it, but no, not the case. I'll hang on to it and maybe hit the 90 days to decide, but I wish it had pockets, then I think I would've been 100% sure to keep and then get it hemmed.

I'm planning on switching my Editors out when I find nice fitting pants. I just really don't like them and feel self conscious in them. I'm really liking my Columinst. I wish they made more color options in the slim stretch flare. Then I would gladly switch out all my pants!

I'm just annoyed because I have to rebuy those bras again.

The ones that were hot pink to me are 25A, 25B, 061, X76 (this one is the BBV Happy Pink with shimmer lace)

i don't know which dress you're talking about. sorry to hear that. You're not the only one. In April, i had to return a sleepwear outfit that used to Frown excite me. They didn't bother posting a product photo that actually looks like it..False advertising! Perfect color Smilie, but the style was all wrong Mad!
