New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Anyone else wondering why alvs & nerdi know so much about what hookers wear? laugh out loud

Quote from azn1x6flame :
:wav e2: Need to figure how to browse SD at work since my cubicle's monitor faces a walk way :lo ok:

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.

All the guys came in a suit and tie so I opted for a pantsuit. Thank goodness because my manager was in a skirt suit. I'm definitely doing layers for a while until I figured how the AC is.

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:
I hope you're loving your new job.

Quote from pepper540 :
Got my huge Express order today, including my very first portofino! Most of the stuff is a little big though.

Bought a pair of these in brown: cotton sateen cropped columnist pants [express.com] for work and I love them! I like columnist anyway but these are great.

I also got this skirt in clearance: high waist pleated ponte knit skirt [express.com]- it's soooo girly! :3


I got this too! I don't shop there, but I'll find something around $20.01!
That skirt is so cute. It caught my eye a long time ago, but I'm too old to wear it. Frown

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Additional 40% at express.


Totally worth it!
They need to update clearance. I don't see anything I want that I haven't already bought. I did see the new bone & black one shoulder dress browsing clearance. It was with the shorts, but not on clearance.

Quote from PordaPoddy :

:no d: Oh yeah, I'm wiped! I was also up super-late "cleaning" and got a sunburn while she was here, but I practically slept all day after she left and am still tired. I agree about guests getting up early. Mine get up b/w 6 and 7am and wait for us for hours... but when we finally wake up, they're enjoying the peace and quiet outside and reading one of the mags I strategically leave out for them. Still feel bad about it though - I think - wake me up, I don't want to leave you hanging!

I totally understand her curiosity... it's something between possibly learning something new about the totally mundane (a new product, new way of storing things - like "how do they do it?") and getting to know you. I think it might make me feel closer to someone if I knew they used the same deodorant : P I know that's weird...but know that I want to feel closer to some people in my life. Most I don't care. Such an incredibly small part, if at all would be, "what secrets are they hiding?". Pfft. I don't want to know what you feel you have to hide :ee k: . With my SIL- I confess, I have peeked in drawers to see if she uses the MU I sent her or what she has for gifting ideas b/c I don't want to keep giving her UD when she hasn't even swiped shadows in the BOS I gave her 3 years ago, nor the sets of Stila smudgepots given to her by me and her BF's sister. The rest does not interest me. She could be offended by being asked. :rol leyes:
A couple in my family are just nosy. My sister checks out everything to see what she wants to take home with her. Unlike most of them that only raid my stash, she raids my cabinets, drawers, & closet too. shake head

We have to hide things normal people don't. Our families are very much anti-alcohol. We have to hide all signs of alcohol including glasses, cork screws, etc. We also have to hide any bedroom items. Turtle They all think stuff like that is disgusting. They're even embarrassed to see my lingerie. Dontknow

I always feel bad, if I leave people sitting around waiting for me to get up too. I always force myself out of bed when I hear them, even though I usually never get to sleep before 4 am or later. I go to bed with DH, but it takes a long time for my body to relax enough to go to sleep. By the time they leave, I'm dragging.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
:high five: 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 :lma o: 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! "
LMAO

Quote from PordaPoddy :
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! :gir ly:Attachment 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...
That's a great outfit. The skirt is adorable. It's super flattering on you. You're making me want to buy it, even though I haven't worn any of the Express skirts I've bought. Not even one of them. Facepalm For some reason, I always reach for a dress instead of the skirts.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
perfumania deal on fp
Thanks

Quote from kurips :
The print lace shorts says 40% off but does not reflect on the item page or shopping cart.

Y'all shop well for me, express does not want my money.
I tried to get the lace shorts a few days ago. They've been listed with the shorts sale the whole time, but always come up full price in the cart.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :

i bought this dress with the 20% clothing code. i love it. it may be my favorite dress that i've ever bought from vs. i think it is actually!
Pretty

Quote from longislandgirl :
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.
Thanks for the help. I wouldn't mind if people reused bags for stuff I bought, but I didn't know if most buyers would agree with me.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
am i safe paing today? has clearance went additional 50% lately?


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.
Can we PA, even though we used a code? I'm not sure if the code I used expired on the 16th or not.

Quote from red333 :
At the bouquet toss, the bride turned around and threw me the bouquet. I think my friends are starting to tell me something...
laugh out loud When people get married, they want all their friends to be married. When they have a baby, they want all their friends to have one. Sometimes you wonder whether they want everyone to be as happy as they are, or as miserable as they are. Stick Out Tongue

Quote from nerdicus :
you haven't had issues with cancellation with using the bday code on multiple items? it's supposed to be on 1 item only, i thought. i had the other version of it before and in store they couldn't apply it to multiple items - it had to be 1 that was over $40. (they could have made this up but it did look like the system wasn't taking it)
I used my birthday code on multiple items.

I think only if it's cheaper before code.

Roll i never did tell you what my day job was, did i?... Wink

the bone & black dress adds to cart with the % off. i ordered it with my birthday code... may as well since i was eyeing it! i'm tired of all the clearance stuff also.

you probably won't get much if anything from a PA if you used a code, since they will just look at the price you paid after code and compare it to the current price. they only factor in post-coupon pricing, not pre-coupon pricing.

people totally do that! i never considered it that way but you're right - they probably just want others as miserable as they are! laugh out loud

thanks - i wasn't aware that you could use it on multiple items, but i didn't try either. the last time was that one that went viral and almost everyone's got cancelled. the point is moot since alvs discovered that the dress adds to cart discounted.

cute!!! i tried on the leopard print version in store once... it fit me funny but it was also a size 0 and too small for me. i thought it was a little short, but otherwise cute, i think.

This is strange. I posted about that dress, before I read this far. It was in shorts for me. The link doesn't give me 40% off, & it's no longer in shorts or accessories for me. Confused

Also, all this talk of hoarding and everything, has spurred me to go through my clothes.. I have a BUNCH of vintage gently used PINK and other Victoria's Secret clothes I'm going to be listing... I feel like some pieces I wore too many times, and others I bought, but just never wore... DH will be thrilled... will have to spend a looooong time taking good pictures. The lighting isn't quite right, right now anyway... it's going to storm, no going to the pool today Rain

Sorry my posts seem to be repeating everything you all have posted, but I'm still trying to catch up. Embarrassment

There aren't any leggings in my outerwear either. I'm confused. I'll try searching all clearance together.

It may not be fixed. I'm just not seeing the same thing you all are.

no, it's fixed. it was not showing the 40% off earlier on the page, but when you added to cart it would reflect 40% off. it's now regular price and they've removed them from the clearance sections we found them in.
