Thanks, I posted the link above- not too big of a difference if you really wanted it- or you could watch it on camel^3. Many years ago you were a child! You're still svelte ! Skinny + curves of a woman now :n od:

about eBay. DH liked it until people started bringing stuff over for me to sell for them then he's Annoyed b/c now we're storing stuff here. Ooops ErmmETA - Harvey bags?! Where? I love my seatbelt bag!
you have no idea how supper HappyI am reading your comment! Big Grin I agree with you and I don't care if my weighing scale and hubby don't agree Evillaugh

Thanks! And no problem at all : ) It was really different leaving for work today. It was blazing hot outside. I'm so used to the cold, freezing beach gusts after work.

There's some important event where the women are required to wear a dress or suit. I might actually get to wear all my new clothes :wh ee:
Good luck for new jobhug
There is no joy like getting to wear new cloths Whee

Quote from GoHeels :
I rarely get VS bags that are resealable or are clean enough to reuse. I thought maybe you all used acetone or something to clean them. Those of you who shop there more often increase your chances of getting some that work. Good reason to shop a lot, huh? :teehe e:
I know I am tardy to party but I just want to add that I also use VS bag to ship my items sold on eBay and never had any complain. I use the better ones from my lot but in past I have used even little torn and sealed it with tape. I think buyers don't mind it as long as their items are safely. I have a stack of VS bags and I am not active on eBay now. I sorted those bags out and kept only good ones when we moved 2 months back, but it is still a lot. I also use those bags because I feel I am helping to save environment. Imagine all of us throwing those bags out and buying new bags just to be thrown out by buyers.

this is what i do when i "clean"!!! :r oll:
Me too! When we moved to new apartment I promised myself to be super organized and not hiding craps in closet but I am still doing it I think. It always happens in rush of those moment when I am mid way thru organizing and someone is about to visit us laugh out loud
The only fun part of it is you keep finding surprises when you resume organizing a year later LMAO

I ran out of time at the end and had to put a bunch of boxes (full of random stuff) in my bedroom. My aunt asked if I felt we had a hoarding problem :lm ao: I didn't have the courage to tell her, "No, I have a shopping problem, but I'm glad you weren't able to determine that from what you saw, go me!

i'm very upset with my first choice VS and VS Pink stores. Mad The only SAS bra signs i can see through the window--(before they open)--say, "Take an Additional 20% Off Already Reduced Bras." Seriously?! Are they ever going to be $15.99, or at least $19.99 at the bare minimum?
I have not bought a thing from them in at least 3 months. Mad

I also found this dress over the weekend. It's tagged 29.99. I think I have it in a blue/black color block. I need to see if they're the same. I don't see it online but you may want to keep your eye out for it. It's a great price with 40% off. Got to go pa!

the fs button ups are also cute. i bought the floral and black/white in-store. the floral is my fav. they remind me of portifino with a little more style.

Lastly- when I didn't know what to pair with the crocheted fit and flare skirt in ivory [express.com], the manager at Express came up with this outfit. The stretch belt is in stone,b but I think the cognac brown ones work too, esp to pair with sandals or purse. I like it a lot, Keep! GirlyAttachment 2063568 Still considering sizing up the skirt to get the extra inch or 2 of length that might make me reach for the skirt more...

Love the outfit. Now, I'm pretty bummed I didn't purchase that shirt in nude. I don't really have any beige shirts, but that outfit is a killer, especially considering that I already have that skirt. Also, I sized up TWO sizes in that skirt. I bought it in a 6 for the extra length, and I have it in both colors Smilie I think it's going to be a summer staple in mine.

ALVS, glad you finally bought that dress. I absolutely love it. Now, you have me considering it in orange...

Also, they put the beige and moss skater dresses on clearance. Both were on my wishlist, which is pretty exciting.

I am not a fan of orange mostly because it's my rival team's color, but this dress is hot enough to suck it up and wear orange. i think the orange will be fun for summer too. i'm gonna grab it if i see it in a 0. it's super cheap too.

Orange was my team's color...for college and for football (University of Illinois and Chicago Bears). That's why I'm now considering it Smilie

We've seen clearance go 50% for tick tock or for Black Friday. Both of those were special days, though. I think you're safe PAing today. I'm PAing today for what that's worth.

Also, my best friend got married Sunday (yes, Father's Day...don't ask). I walked his dad down the isle as an usher. I'm surprised how emotional I got. I'm just so happy for him.

At the bouquet toss, the bride turned around and threw me the bouquet. I think my friends are starting to tell me something...

I think my best bet will be finding it in-store so tick tock wont matter. You think they'll even do a tick tock like last time with coupons working on clearance?

Whee glad you caught it. my sister battled some 6 year old for mine. the 6 year old got it and the mom made her give it to my sister Roll. it was hilarious.

'grats on the Portofino! What do you think? Oooh I loved that and another version of that skirt. Photo of you making it work please! Unfort. the print & cut were too overwhelming for my frame. Now I'm looking at the black and white Chevron one. :gi rly: Glad you had a good start! I like Nerdi's idea better since that would make it off the computer records radar for the company. I was going to suggest a privacy screen to put over the monitor and say it's for your eyes :s ly: .

No excuse for being that way too. I'm cheaper than them and I don't pretend that I don't know who gets screwed when I don't anti up. Oh well. A few more emails and maybe they'll do a service to DH and prove to him there really is no hope of re-habbing him. That's the best I can do for "optimism" at this point :dontkn ow:
i was eyeing the chevron one also!
you do a much better job than me at cleaning. i've gotten so lazy my way of "cleaning" for company is to dump everything in boxes and throw in bedroom. laugh out loud i don't even bother to try organizing it... sometimes i wish i had a month off from work so i could fully attack my piles of crap.

it's one thing to be cheap and screw stores out of more profit. it's a completely different thing to be cheap and screw your friends out of money. he needs to learn the distinction. it's just... common courtesy. my DH is really cheap but is always super generous when it comes to going out with others - he influences me to be frugal, but not cheap, if that makes sense.

I bought a sarong but I don't know how to wear it. Need to consult YouTube.
the only way i've been able to wear one is as a halter dress - it goes horizontally around your back, then crosses around your neck and ties.

saw this dress this weekend. it's so cute.

red- your fashion star dress is soooooo hot. yall need to try this one.

i'm also dying to try this on:
http://www.express.com/clothing/c.../cat550001
cute! i want to try that lace yoke tee dress. and i thought of you when i saw that cap sleeve mesh dress online. Teehee
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
http://www.express.com/clothing/p...41/cat2009

has anyone tried this on? it's so pretty in person. i wouldn't even consider it from the online pic.
i tried on the colorblock version and thought it was just ok but it was tainted bc the shirt i tried smelled heavily of old lady perfume and had makeup stains. i only wanted to see what size i fit but it was gross. (i don't even remember the size i tried now... Facepalm) you're right - the print is prettier zoomed in and i wouldn't have looked if you hadn't linked it.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

also if yall notice the orange in-stock in a 0 please let me know. i want it now :tee hee:.
i think when i was ordering it when they first hit clearance the orange was already out of small sizes.
Quote from kurips :
Cheap dress with some lace on it. Seems something I'd like.

cute! me too! if it's not too short, that is. Smilie
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :




There is red's dress. It's awesome. Pic doesn't do it justice at all.
it's a nice dress, and it feels well-made. i like it, but i feel like it makes me look very straight, which i already feel i am. it's still nice for those days you don't want to show cleavage, but still want to look sexy.

I bet they'll have a tick tock next week or so just to clear their clearance stock so that people are forced to buy the full price stuff. However, you can't PA with tick tock anyway...I think I'm going to place my order with the birthday code now. I'm that confident.

Also, your bouquet story is absolutely hilarious. I bet your sister was thrilled Smilie

Orange dress and the FS pencil skirt, which I really like.

I'm also thinking about that ruffle dress that's so cheap. I think with other coupons, I'm going to get the moss and beige skater dresses. Everything from my wishlist went to clearance!

I hate makeup on clothes and I hate old lady perfume even more laugh out loud.

The top looks so pretty. Reminds me of Ann Taylor. Look for it next time you're there. I want it next sale!
