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!

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.
my fav is the da demi with black dots. it's so farking cute.

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.

It hits a little lower. It's more casual, tee shirt material. I'll model it tomorrow. Getting ready for the game.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
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!
yes! that is the dress. i did get to reorder it with some codes... thanks for thinking of me! hmmm i'm not sure what happened to it actually - i must have received it when i was busy and threw it in a box somewhere. no idea where it is. laugh out loud

my experience with current editors vs past editors: current ones - i only have the wide waistband ones - they're very wide legged but fit me in the waist area ok. i need a 0 in most. i tried some of the non-wide waistband ones in store and they fit something awful. i have a pair of grey dress pants from 5 yrs ago that fit me really well - they're a higher waist and fit somewhat like BR dress pants. it seems more professional to me and i'm glad i bought them when i did - i don't even know if columnists were around back then. i don't think they were.

columnist - actually, these are hit or miss for me too. they are a bit higher waisted, which is good for business dress, but it causes some of the waistbands to squeeze my fat around my waistline. i'm always hovering between a 0 and 2 for those, depending on how rigid the waistline is (and possibly depending on where i am in my monthly cycle).

i think i have enough dress pants to stop buying them anyway... but if you dislike your editors, definitely get rid of them when you can. bad-fitting pants are horrible for your confidence! too bad your kate is missing pockets. hopefully they have a different style with pockets that you can buy.

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. :d oh: oh well. i have a lot of those.
BBV Flawless Demi Bra: http://www.victoriassecret.com/br...earch=true Mine has a lot more fabric than the bra on the model.

What codes did you use to buy the bra?

oOoo i haven't tried the flawless demi yet. now i want to try it!

have you tried the DA perfect coverage? i like it a lot (and porda vouched for it as well - for a larger chested review Teehee).

i used SP1336253 for 10 off bra + free panty (and then i forgot to add the panty Doh). ship13 and bday code (and i ordered some ballet tees just in case my friend has a change of heart and doesn't want to use the express shirt... i'm taking a chance on the backorder).

If you are between sizes, size up. Usually, I'm about a 2 in express dresses, but I think the 4 fits me better in the 2 black FS dresses I have (black zip back and the black mesh one) because they are a little narrower in the hips.

Shoot...regular coupons don't work on fashion star. If only the June birthday codes had arrived. That would have been PERFECT for this sale.

Yep! They bought all on GC though. Closest store is I think 40 minutes away? Can they PA? Or is it no PA with new codes on old purchases?

I think I know which Editors you are talking about. I have 2 - one pinstripe and one brown that sit higher on the waist and look better than my other Editors, but I just don't like the dumpy butt look. These were Size 4 because I couldn't fit into the Size 2 for some strange reason. I bought all these before the Columnist came along as well.

Maybe I need to look at BR pants for the future. Pants have always been so hard for me shake head I was so excited about the Columnist!

I want to try other VS pants - have you tried others before? I feel like I really need the fitted through high look because it slims down my thigh. I might try the Christie Fit because there's 30" inseam. But it seems to be straight leg with flare, so there's a chance my butt might look dumpy too. Le Sigh.

I'm not sure about paing. Gift cards go back to your cc. That could be because I have a bloomies card though.
