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 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.
sorry i didn't reply.. hope you found a great outfit. Smilie imo if guys are wearing dress shirt + slacks then that is fair game for you to dress businessy - blazer should be fine. i would wear a bright colored blouse to dress it down - perhaps a bright colored portofino (non-sheer one). and go with non-black - black tends to look more formal.

but in general i think dress pants + blouse + cardigan is fine too - as long as you're wearing heels that's plenty dressy enough. go with layers for awhile until you get a good feel for the weather in the office, and maybe bring a black sweater to leave at the office in case you get cold.

i hate the summer bc i always want to wear all my skirts... but they turn up the a/c to counteract the heat outside and i end up freezing.

Iagree For now DH is on the same page as me. The anger will wane over time, and when it does, trips to see them will be done solo Bye

so cute! excited for that bag, though that means i have to find yet another thing to buy... shake head i need an intervention.

nice! i want a sewing machine! someday, when we move and i have more space, i'm gonna go find me one... they're so useful. i'm sure there's a lot more bells and whistles on them nowadays though... i learned on older ones so that's all i know how to use. *but* if i had one i could set MIL up with it to fix/alter all my clothes... laugh out loud Shutup lmk if you see another potential deal!

I have a sewing machine and don't know how to use it. Hard part is getting it threaded and ready to go. The sewing part is easy.

I received a sewing machine from my grandma's house. It's one of those that sits as part of a table and then you can hide it underneath when your done. I have no clue how to use it. Guess I will have to look on youtube for videos

Pacsun Sale, ugly clothes & swimwear $2.08+, free ship with account log in or sign up

: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?
Wave I like that shirt and it is sold out now laugh out loud

Looks like I missed on sewing machine deal Embarrassment I want one, it can come in handy to alter few basic things. Good luck learning sewing techniques. I used the one my mom had many years ago for some alteration when I was veryyyy skinny laugh out loud
