gotta love the outlet with a 40% markdown on top of the price

i think the dresses are cut super weird. the waist & hips fit great but the bust is a little too big, even for me. i think thats why it got sent to the outlet and why the outlet had a million of them and they were $44

i imagine they didn't sell well since they wouldn't fit the general population and most people won't get them altered to fit

either that or its fucking ugly and i have terrible taste

i've only ever shopped at the banana outlets. i just can't justify spending that much when i know i can easily hit the outlet
btw, the dress is very cute! not ugly! or i could just have awful taste as well

Just bought this dress! super flowy and colorful. I <3 dress season

3/28/2010 7:42:16 PM

i bought 3 dresses at banana outlet

one of them was $15!!

im trying to buy more dresses because its easier to pick out outfits and they're hot!

3/28/2010 8:12:11 PM

if i get a decent amount of $ back from taxes i am definitely hitting up the outlets one weekend

3/28/2010 8:16:32 PM

i love buying dresses.....especially for the summer. they're easier to wear and also easier to pack.

i might need to hit up the banana outlet in smithfield soon. once i get this burst pipe issue dealt with in my bathroom

3/28/2010 8:18:26 PM

im blessed & cursed

the houston premium outlet mall is 20min from my house!

really hard to avoid that place

also, the security tag was left on one of the dresses.. looks like i HAVE to go back!

3/28/2010 8:21:07 PM

Wolfy I love love love that dress you posted

I have a thing for dresses with pockets

3/28/2010 8:39:46 PM

thanks! its my first dress with pockets! i bought it for a wedding but i think im going to break it in on my bday

3/28/2010 9:59:39 PM

I need to marry a man with a lot of money so that I can afford to buy all the things I wanna buy!

3/29/2010 8:56:09 AM

^^ wedding that I was in last year had bridesmaid dresses that had pockets in it. Loved it. Helped so much keeping Kleenex, lip gloss and my phone in there

fixed that for you

Yeah I'm gonna be a teacher...so that is pretty much out for me...I've just decided to marry for money.

3/29/2010 11:09:22 AM

teacher salaries aren't great but you'll be fine if you live within your means. you won't be buying louboutins but you can buy a cute dress from banana once in awhile

bought that dress yesterday at H&M

3/30/2010 11:52:53 AM

^ SO CUTE!

at the one in raleigh? was it super crowded? i should have gone this past weekend when i was home but i totally forgot it was open. might take a special one night trip to ral this weekend to check it out.

but what i came here to post was has anyone tried or does anyone use the MARK (avon) make up? i ordered some today. it is pretty cheap so i figure if it is horrible i didn't waste that much money. but i figure at least things like eyeshadow are hard to mess up (i just use drug store eyeshadow now). but i'm really excited about it coming. i didn't know if anyone had any experience with it!

3/30/2010 7:33:51 PM

ooooh i want to hit up the h&m so bad this weekend! has it still been really crowded??
i'm just going to pretend like i didn't get a $600 bill from the radiologist today.

3/30/2010 7:43:15 PM

radiologist? GIRL WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF

and yes, i too wanna go to the h&m asap. why did i not think of this over spring break!!!

3/30/2010 7:44:04 PM

i broked myself

3/30/2010 7:47:12 PM

i tried some of the mark lipgloss but i was unimpressed, really

however, i use long wear stuff almost exclusively now. its great!

3/30/2010 7:48:00 PM

what brand?

my problem is i am too poor to buy like MAC and bobbi brown. or else that is what i would use haha.

3/30/2010 7:50:57 PM

i splurge on Smashbox lip gloss, because im a lip gloss snob! And Bare Minerals. but drug store / Target makeup section ftw

the Mark makeup experience has been good for me. It's good quality and won't break the bank

3/30/2010 8:59:55 PM

yea i've been buying stuff at target

usually almay but i wanted to switch it up and try something different.

i like sephora brand stuff but even that can get kinda pricey. when i have a real job i can hopefully at least splurge on a couple of things. *SIGH*

3/30/2010 9:12:18 PM

i enjoy the occasional perk of being one of those Sephora club members.

I got that three pack of mini Sephora lip glosses for my birthday for free. STILL haven't used them all. It takes forever to earn points and the points don't get you shit though :\

I like Almay because its hypoallergenic, but they just don't have enough colors and options. I mean, yeah, congrats, they have a color combo for every eye color. But sometimes I get tired of burgundy/pink/brown eyeshadow!

lol

3/30/2010 11:19:51 PM

^ i know exactly!!!

there are like 0 choices with almay

i hope i like the mark stuff

3/30/2010 11:20:46 PM

ive been wanting to get an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette for like, a solid year, at least. I just can't stomach paying $36 bucks for this:



But DO WANT.

3/30/2010 11:23:17 PM

cute dress!! i'll always be shocked that houston doesnt have an H&M its weird

3/30/2010 11:24:13 PM

^^ive been thinking about mac eyeshadow lately so i know what you mean...

3/31/2010 12:04:07 AM

I love that dress so much i may go buy it.... tommorow. If it fucking fits my ass

3/31/2010 12:09:44 AM

GoldenGirlwhere is that sexy dress from? Gosh, I've been looking for a dress like that...I love that kimono/caftan style...and the colors on that dress are to die for!!!

I naturally love dressing up a lot, and I love wearing makeup, but I wear a mix of dept store/pricier brands & drug store brands. I'm kind of the same with clothes, I usually get stuff at a discount, and I rarely ever pay full price for clothing/shoes. I just got my makeup done last week at Ulta by an Urban Decay makeup artist, and she was EXCELLENT!! I didn't have to pay a thing for it...and I only bought the makeup that I really loved. Urban Decay's makeup is amazing!!!

3/31/2010 12:21:36 PM

^x5 I have the ammo pallet and I use it almost every day. I'm a huge fan of UD though- their eyeliner is unbeatable and the primer potion makes eyeshadow work so much better. There are usually coupons for Ulta in the Sunday paper, which helps.

3/31/2010 1:16:40 PM

bout to leave for H & M. Good thing I have no money and have to be at work in ~ hour

3/31/2010 3:18:53 PM

^^^ H&M

4/1/2010 2:33:20 AM

punchmonk, I order my bathing suit right after you and even though it said it was backordered until May 20th, it came TODAY!

I love it! I kinda wish I had ordered a bigger size, but I think I've got enough room to "grow"

4/1/2010 6:19:07 PM

whats the main effect of the priming potion? i usually just use some creamy concealer before putting on eyeshadow.

4/1/2010 6:41:50 PM

^i think thats what it is! i had it and couldn't tell you the difference.

maybe it has some vit. E in it or something...you know, something that doesnt really matter.

4/1/2010 7:26:31 PM

JOIE WHEN DID YOU E-BREAK UP WITH ME?!

4/1/2010 9:58:27 PM

^ she maded you a thread

4/1/2010 9:59:39 PM

is forever 21 at crabtree??

4/1/2010 10:38:10 PM

yes

4/1/2010 10:38:58 PM

and in that same post i should have asked what it was near in the mall

4/1/2010 10:41:31 PM

J. Crew, Sears, Panera Bread, Verizon kiosk, Lindt Chocolate

4/1/2010 10:42:56 PM

thanks!!!

4/1/2010 10:44:24 PM

Np!

4/1/2010 10:45:08 PM

amber1, I am so glad you were able to get yours. I forgot to say I got mine yesterday. I LOVE IT! Great Find!!! Thx.

What bottoms do you have with yours?

for me using the potion over the concealer has caused less irritation w/ my contacts. i used to use concealer, but by the end of the day my eye makeup would start to run and irritate my contacts. i have not had that issue since using the priming potion.

an aside, i love UD's new priming potion w/ a hint of champagne color. it has cut out my using a base for eye makeup pretty much completely.



the fun reason I came in here...had to go to Apple yesterday to deal w/ some phone issues, and after I convinced hubs to let me peak at H&M for a second. bonus--he liked their men's section & prices for buying work polos, and wants to go back on Sunday

4/1/2010 11:14:53 PM

^^I just got some plain black ones from Target. I'm glad you got yours too and you liked it
