yay for Photo!!! Big Grin

that's one of my favorite skirts from express. our sizing disparity is so weird! i have the 0 and it fits me - 2 was way big on me. strange how shorts fit us the opposite way with me liking the 2. the 0 skirt turns for me... but it's ok - i just pull it down a bit and it's not as bad.

i don't find it short for me.
I really like the skirt too! First skirt from Express. I have some other Bebe ones that I really like, but they hit at the knee, covering it. I guess I like to dress conservatively for work. I haven't tried a 2 since the day I went (to your mall) with a friend, she was wearing the 2 and thought 0 looked good on me. She's got a little more meat on her bones and she wouldn't let me try the 2 since she thought I should've gone 00 EEK! Nono
I'm hippy so that's probably where the problem is nod I like the 0. I can sit in it and all and there's space at the natural waist up top. I guess it's just the hip area?

What do you think I should wear the first day to work? My usual dress code is dress pants, dress shirt layered with a cardigan and then a sweater (I used to sit under a vent). Should I wear the same? Or should I go with a blazer (fear that it may be too cold)? I don't want to be overdressed and I don't want to be too casual with a sweater jacket just yet on the first day. AND I don't want to freeze either. When I saw the team, the guys were in the usual dress shirt and slacks and girls were dress pants and casual Express-like sweater.

Oh! Oh! Maybe I could go with the knit jacket? But..it's 3/4 sleeve Sadwalk Fear of the cold again.

EEK! at sissy panties!

I've tried different eyelash enhancers/growers, but if it makes my eyes feel like they're burning, not sure if that's worth it? Scratchchin I have Revitalash and the Tarte Multi-eye one. My eye doc was very hesitant about me using Latisse. She said the derms prescribe it instead of optometrists and once they have problems with the eye, then patients are referred to optometrists. She did say that those appear to work though. Maybe I'll whip out my tubes and give them a try again.

Yeah, I've had eyeliner in my eye juice and eyeshadow in my eye juice as well shake head Eyeshadow flakes hurt!

Comfort about the terrible newlyweds. I hope you guys never have to see them again.

I use UD's 24/7 on my waterline. Staying power is okay only because my eyes water like crazy all the time. I've also used Tarte's Emphaseye [sephora.com]. I find that that one gets into the lash line really well because of the small tip. I don't use this often because I don't tightline often. I also think this looks better on the waterline.

I've never used a pen liner before. That might solve the problem.


I'm not quite sure which one nerdi is talking about, but this is theone [uncommongoods.com] I've given to DBF before. He likes it. Said it works well. It's just those freezable ice things in an ice pack made to fit into the wine. I think the only downside was as it melted, it would kind of dilute the wine.
Latisee does wonders but the side effects can be scary. I used it a few days and it made my eyes sensitive. It will make your lashes or brows or whatever grow.

Laugh at the title, but I did get this star chambray shirt [pacsun.com]. I'm sure it'll probably be butt ugly when I get it but for $2 why not?

i hope it works well. it sounds promising - there's an attached wine pourer and the chill stick doesn't melt into the wine.
Perfect! I just bought it! Thanks for posting the deal!

Completely horrible travel companions.. I guess that officially nixes them from future trips with you and your hubby. Really rude. Not only that, but it takes time and energy to itemize expenses, I should know... it's a task when I divide things up with my sister, she takes the time to make an excel spreadsheet and I know it requires formulas for her to input... At least they paid a portion vs not paying at all... Mad What comes around goes around.. Wink
nod Yes. Also, now I will have no problem telling DH if he wants to give them another chance, he's on his own. While I wish they had said "itemize" from the start- that argument could have dragged out forever. DH apologized for miscommunication and that he could see that the group's momentum may have made it harder for them to make their voice heard. IMO, even that's giving them too much slack - they led the charge on changing things, they just kept getting voted down b/c their expectations for a camping trip were so out of line with what one would want to do when they go to a national park (let's sit around and drink during daylight hours instead of exploring what we traveled 12 hours to see). Yeah we got some $$... now groomzilla's saying, "Thanks for trying to see it from our side, so I guess the fair thing to do would be to split the difference down the middle, how does that sound?" Either pay it or don't pay it, but don't act like this is your good@mn compromise. They really don't have anyone left but the lifelong friends of his (she doesn't have any - short or long term) that won't let go ... it is a sorry sight. I don't know if they will ever be shorted... they never front money for anything so they are always in a position to withhold funds. I'm beginning to think they feel like they're "bargaining" with us to get a good deal. vomit

holy moly those sound like quite possibly the worst people on earth. they should get a trophy.

also, i think you recommended the wine-chilling bar that goes inside bottle of wine... there's one over at livingsocial right now and with the 10 off 15 code for today it's only $9 shipped. no idea if this company/brand is any good but it's a great deal! just FYI.. the code makes the deal. (also discover cb if you have it is 10%)
Yes, perhaps one of these? [wordpress.com] laugh out loud
Thanks for the wine bar chiller deal, I'll check it out!

Yeah.. that's why I'm thinking brows not lashes - further away, less irritation, less chance of effect on vision. IDK tho, my eyebrows aren't that bad.
I like the sweater idea for the job. Knock 'em dead on your first day! Thumbsup

I wouldn't want to travel or hang out with them anymore. They sound selfish.

The 250 point perk is available at Sephora now for me. Sorry if I'm tardy to the party Teehee!

They also have a Tarte 500 point perk that looks nice. I have no points thanks to Dior laugh out loud.

Thx. Smilie $7.80 off something I already bought... will return the other one I got at Sephora..

I called Sephora yesterday, there was a problem on June 14th when I placed the 2 orders for 3 eyeshadow sets and other samples, where the 250pt perk wasn't taking off 250pts, it was taking off 500, so I called them, and they added 250pts to the account Embarrassment But when my sister placed her order yesterday, it was taking off the correct 250pts... Smilie So at least when I do whatever returns, it won't bring her pt balance negative..

the lacie strapless dress is weird. it's too big in the mid-section. it would work if i was a few months preggo. maybe someone stretched it out. it's just crazy that a dress would be too big in the midsection but fit my boobs. doesn't make sense at all.
