I fit into the 2 but it was tight on me. Forgot to mention it runs small. I'd prob go with 4. Sleeves were ok for me but I only barely clipped it closed.
Quote from red333 :
The sleeves were super right on me. Go with at least a 6, I think, I could either wear a 6 or 8 in that jacket.

I should have mentioned that I'm usually a 2 or 4 in jackets. I could not raise my arms to drive in the 4 of this jacket.
Thanks ladies. It looks like Express sizing is inconsistent once again. I'll try a 4 & 6.

Quote from smilinghelen :
If your DH logs into ebay and looks at his messages, they send messages at least once a month for 50,000+ free listings all the time.. the trick is reading the message before the promotion expires.. I just got the same email, it's a targeted offer, and I'll be listing things this weekend, since I had already used my 50 free listings..

What really, really gets me, is that certain bras that I sell, might have pilling, and they are used of course, but I sell them sometimes for a little more than what I paid... good pictures are the key, but still... why would someone want to buy my used bra, when they can buy a new one during the online SAS for less??

I felt so bad about a bra that sold last week for $24.xx that had snags on it, that I included a free panty and VS nail file set ($3 value).. person left immediate feedback, they were so happy..
The panty was free, and the nail file set I had purchased with something for $7, so $10 total and I'd used a SRC, so I'd only paid tax on it...

I'm currently selling my pregnancy bras, cacique brand.. I was HUGE right after I had the baby... I called them my lego boobs when it was too long between pumpings..

Also, I enjoyed reading this little article.. RDJ has such a genuine face.

That's awesome! Do you list bras BIN or auction?

I like how it looks on the model in stone. Im going to try it again in 4. There's also a possibility that the one I tried is a slightly different jacket.. ThEy have so many similar ones. You'll probably need a 6 for your girls.

My DH used to list on eBay on occasion. He just got an email saying he can list 400,000 free auction style listings. They must be getting desperate for sellers.
I sell on ebay @ my 50 free listings a month (usually it's my relistings). I got this message this month and the two months prior. LOL, it gets me to list more but only @ 20-30 listings, it takes me so much time to list that I don't know who can make that 400K listings!

I list a low auction price and a much higher unrealistic BIN price..
I have had it happen three times so far where someone has purchased it BIN, and it's like a super bonus sale for me... when people use BIN for my auctions, I include extras since they pay so much..

laugh out loud me too! Darn I am out of flat rate padded envelopes! I ordered them over 6 weeks ago. Dislike I have to pay more for shipping items when I know I don't have to laugh out loud

Stone is the color I'm ordering. I have lots of black & one white.

Good idea! I can learn a lot from you girls. nod I have bras I wore pre-weight loss than I need to get rid of. Selling to get money for new bras sounds great. If I listed them, I probably would have priced them cheap BIN. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I treat my eye makeup the same way too! I think I've thrown out a total of 5 mascaras in like...10 years Hide I use it til it's all gone (2 of them) or until they really really start smelling funky. I wish I wasn't so obsessed when I was younger and bought so many and opened up all the tubes Bonk me
...
That's possibly more than I've thrown out! Crazy Most of the ones I've tossed are so dry they feel like they're dragging thru the lashes. Teehee

Comfort So sorry to hear about the pain, hope you make it to the beach this weekend to relax. Weather is gorgeous right now, has been yucky all week.


I should try your layering technique with the shadow first, then liner. I found that's my only use for the black shadows UD sends in their palettes is to set and blend my liner.

Quote from smilinghelen :
Multiquoting so I can have the information readily available for when my order gets in. Thanks everyone hug
Can't wait for this stuff to arrive! Have a notice for 5 packages in the front office, me thinks one of them is makeup! Whee I think I ordered too much, I got free priority shipping, am I the only one? Teehee

Quote from teenbean :
I finally bought the graphic stripe ponte knit sheath dress [express.com]. I hope I like it. got it for 17.99 (34.99-15q-10reward +8s&h) I thought about waiting till 40% but then the price would have been $29.99 and I wouldn't be able to use the Q without a filler.
It's a great dress! It's form-fitting, but the belly bulge that is usually all too obvious (and highlighted by the light hitting it) with a white dress is disguised with the stripes. I took it on it's maiden voyage to a graduation party at a restaurant last week and heard one hostess say to the other "I LOVE that dress". I was thinking, "SCORE!" laugh out loud
Quote from nerdicus :
Ugh, those vneck camis are not the ones I was thinking of! I like them still, but they're different. Not as soft. Stretchier. Tighter but xs still fits me, phew.
I'm familiar with the issue nod Yeah, I need to remember to size up for the "fitted" ones to get a similar fit. Same with the V-neck sweaters... they have regular ones and ones that they call "fitted" . They look identical to me in the photos. I think it's similar to buying those men's 1MX shirts- "Modern Fit", "Fitted" and "Extra Slim". I need to order a different size in the first two and then the third I avoid altogether.

You didn't ask me but since bras are so light, at ~$5 for the FR envelope, there's a cheaper way to do it with USPS First Class. I re-use my white VS resealable return bags Coverlaugh My only real expense here is packing tape and paper for a label. I haven't had a complaint on bag-reuse yet... I mean you're selling used here, so the expectation should be that they picked up an awesome find at a GoodWill or something laugh out loud

Me too! Sometimes and auction will end super high for what it is and I wonder if they just got carried away. I feel bad for them and start getting worried, "Did they not see it said used AND stained?!" EEK! Better distract them with a freebie bulb laugh out loud

Found a flyer in store for a new GWP coming up...

The Poolside Tote, Free w/ $75 Purchase. 7/4 - 7/7. Comparable value $39.
I'll upload a pic in a few, but it looks like a white canvas tote with blue (as in SlickDeals Blue laugh out loud ) stripes. Gold Grommets holding a rope handle. Large postal-looking VS stamp on it in pink/red reading VS IN PARADISE with love and VICTORIA's SECRET.

I heart those flat rate padded envelopes. They take so long to arrive in the mail when I order more of them from the USPS website. I use them to send things that are very heavy.. Save a bunch of money and it arrives fast.

First class mail is the best way to ship bras. I don't spend ANY money on packaging supplies except for Scotch heavy duty tape I get at Costco when they're on sale. I get free air padding from all my amazon orders and I save all those lightweight hard to open white plastic VS baggies. I feel like they also give my used bras more authenticity since I'm shipping them in a VS bag. I make sure the VS address is prominent when I stick my mailing label. Also, a USPS postal scale (less than $15) is worth it if you're shipping alot. You can save $1+ on each order by shipping USPS First Class with your postal scale and weighing them. Ebay gives a discount on shipping, plus tracking is included in the price.

Also, you know that plastic insert when you buy one piece swimsuits at the store (Costco in particular)... You can SAVE THAT! I use one of those to take pictures of used bras. Pics come out awesome. I've noticed higher auction end prices since I started taking good pictures of my items..

laugh out loud I see I'm not the only one who saves all their VS mailing baggies. They are awesome! So lightweight.

Roll I wonder that too.. and then I see that I'm shipping to a guy and I think, "Is it the wife buying from the husbands account, or am I selling my used bras to a dude!"
