i think i'm like the worst girl of all time. i've never been into designer bags. i mean i appreciate a good designer handbag (i really can't stand the ones that say the designer name all over them though) but i've never felt the urge to purchase one. i mean i love bags and have like a gazillion, but they're all like TJ maxx finds.

i mean if someone gave me a designer bag obviously i'd love it but when i'm choosing what to spend $$$ on (whenever i purchase something pricey) i'm more of a jeans/clothes/shoes person.

i just got this little number the other day (instead of green, it's a burnt orange)

one week later...allll mine

looks like a Halloween costume...

Cute though and perfect for showing the girls..

4/20/2009 6:51:22 PM

i had it on with tennis shoes and pranced around as soon as i got it....

and it is not that low cut at all, nor is it that short....the picture is deceiving

its just really frilly and cute

[Edited on April 20, 2009 at 6:53 PM. Reason : that girl must be like 5'11!]

me too

I'd rather have money inside the purse than wear one as a status symbol

besides that you can get a well-made purse for well under $100

4/20/2009 6:56:27 PM

I'm not really into designer purses, jeans or shoes, I just like what looks good no matter who made it

i really like designer jeans (they are my big girlie guilty pleasure). but i only have 1 pair right now (i had more but i wore them for 4 years and now the crotches, thighs, bottoms, etc are all tattered and ripped. i hate that about jeans). the ones i have i got at revolver on glenwood (second hand place). speaking of i am thinking of getting a new pair and cannot decide between the citizen of humanity ingrid or the 7 dojo (i think i need livinproof's help here haha :beatup. but i'll probably check at revolver before i buy at full price.

ALSO along similar lines i have a 20% off friends and family email coupon for bloomingdale's if anyone wants it. pm me and i can forward it to you. i guess 20% off isn't that great, since we don't have bloomingdale's here we have to pay shipping, which is probably all you save anyway. but either way, if anyone wants it i can send it!!

4/20/2009 7:39:12 PM

does anybody want to join Rue la la? I can invite you guys to the site! They have tons of stuff for cheap. They had james jeans from originally $170 at $69! It's designer stuff for cheap. They have hale bob right now at $200 dresses for $89.

website is http://www.ruelala.com

4/20/2009 7:48:21 PM

The Rugged Wearhouse off Buck Jones has a ton of super cute bras right now. I got 7, and 2 came with matching panties ... all for like $32.

4/20/2009 9:52:31 PM

^^^^^ Agreed!


I think I'm going to save up for Vera Wang's new perfume though... Rock Princess -- smells sooo good!

these are my two very favorite styles....

but they are very different...dojos are more like trousers and look good with open toed shoes....ingrids are good with boots and regular shoes...

4/20/2009 10:00:17 PM

i click this thread every now and then... so i can keep up on what's hip
since i don't read fashion magazines and i'm still wearing my old jeans with the hole in the crotch

4/20/2009 10:15:45 PM

I like my purses. but I don't like shoes, so it all works out in the end

4/20/2009 10:40:03 PM

attn ladies with holes in the crotch, thigh, etc area of your jeans

GET THEM FIXED!!

any tailor worth their salt can patch it up and make it look like new again. i sent a pair of lucky jeans today to get patched up. its a very light, strech jean material that just needed some work done

costs < $10 and you can wear the jeans again!!

4/20/2009 10:41:57 PM

what youre telling me is that a tailor can fix clothing?

since im androgynous i can post here

4/20/2009 10:48:37 PM

i know it seems obv but when ppl are complaining about holes in their clothes.... the obv needs to be stated

4/20/2009 10:58:15 PM

is there an abbreviation for abbreviation?

4/20/2009 11:00:42 PM

You had me at "attn ladies with holes in the crotch"

4/20/2009 11:00:53 PM

wait, arent you the gay guy on here?

4/20/2009 11:04:24 PM

Isn't Grace a girl's name?

4/20/2009 11:05:16 PM

well it depends. like amazing grace is god, who we all know is a man...

4/20/2009 11:17:07 PM

but Grace is a girl's name

i know!!! ughh i just don't know what to do

and i have gotten my jeans fixed before but seriously in need of new jeans. mine just don't have one hole in the crotch or thigh... otherwise yes, fixing them is a good solution. but there are several things wrong with most of my jeans (i only have like 3 pairs i like so, oops...i wore them out hard). the thighs on one pair are about to rip all the way around to make jean shorts!! and the bottoms are all tattered and ripped up. most of my jeans have seen way better days. except one pair. and one that may be fixable. not the other one though--i'm keeping them around to do housework, etc in. i can't wait for the day when i bend down or take a wide step and my jeans turn into jorts

4/21/2009 1:55:42 PM

Ok so I just ordered this bathing suit bc I like the colors and it's different than what I"m used to....



Hopefully it doesn't suck

4/21/2009 2:01:33 PM

where is it from? i like it!!

4/21/2009 2:02:37 PM

^ I like it

4/21/2009 2:03:33 PM

Delias! They have some good ones this year. I didn't get the pink side-tie bottoms though, I had to get the blue ruffle ones bc the only size they had in pink side-tie was XS. And my ass was like "yeah, no."

I just hope my boobs will fit... Delias has a knack for making things not meant for the busty..

4/21/2009 2:04:19 PM

i think that is because their main market is adolescent girls

4/21/2009 6:13:59 PM

Lots of rings at kohls are BOGO
I want this one and this one.

I used to hate rings. Then I got engaged

[Edited on April 21, 2009 at 6:26 PM. Reason : sdf]

4/21/2009 6:24:34 PM

^^ and??? I've had these boobs since about the 9th grade soooo being an adolescent girl doesn't mean you'll have small boobs.

[Edited on April 21, 2009 at 8:43 PM. Reason : damn things]

4/21/2009 8:42:28 PM

but juniors sizes (which is what delia's makes) is NOT designed for curves, period. even if you may have had your boobs since 9th grade, your body is (probably) not exactly the same.

4/21/2009 8:57:21 PM

got a pic with the natural curls!! they were still a tiny bit damp. when its totally dry the curls dont look wet or shiny at all, just pure bounce

4/21/2009 10:16:08 PM

I feel like there's no excuse when they can make the jeans go up to like size 19. If they can appeal to those types of curves, why not the ones up top? And, not everything in the store doesn't fit busty girls, just sayin I wish they had more of a selection...

4/21/2009 10:16:38 PM

i've never really had a problem with delia's shirts....:shrugs:

4/21/2009 10:57:13 PM

Yeah, me neither. I fit quite perfectly into a large. It stretches pretty tight across the girls but has enough cut to be snug and not hang around my waist/tummy but not be sausage tight.

4/21/2009 11:25:33 PM

Where is a good place to buy a not too expensive bikini with the cupped bra tops not the halter or triangle top. I'd like a lil support.

4/22/2009 12:28:34 AM

victoriassecret.com? I think they are having a sale right now.

4/22/2009 12:32:26 AM

i've gotten several bathing suits from dept stores and they always have sales OR you can at least find belk/macy's coupons in like EVERY weekly paper (like 20% coupons). whenever they get their seasonal bathing suit department set up (i mean it could be now, i don't know i haven't been shopping much recently) they have TONS and TONS of varieties and brands at all different prices. it might be a good place to start.

^ yea, they have a wide selection, too and frequent sales. i've never had a vic secret bathing suit though, but i know that they out of anyone would prob have the style you want. they do specialize in boobs. but i don't know anything about quality since i do not own one. and i haven't really paid attention to prices. i do enjoy the bathing suit catalogue though

[Edited on April 22, 2009 at 12:37 AM. Reason : .]

4/22/2009 12:36:08 AM

^^ I am just weary b/c you can't try it on and then last time i checked i could not return it to the store only back through online. so that blows.

4/22/2009 12:38:45 AM

exactly! that is why i've never gotten one either. that is why i kind of check around at places like belk and macy's because they have huge bathing suit depts (usually). and at least you can try it on.

4/22/2009 12:44:29 AM

They have some you can try on at crabtree vs. I also bought a top from that store and the one I bought was good quality. That store knows how to take care of ladies with boobs.

Except that italian line of bras and underwear. It makes me mad that they don't have my size

4/22/2009 1:00:30 AM

i've tried VS bathing suits twice and failed miserably

i get my bathing suits at target. i have to get the halter style that have ties at the neck & back but its perfect for me because i can tie to tight enough to hold my boobs in and not risk exposing myself

4/22/2009 10:25:55 AM

^ I finally found a really good VS one.. it's the Miracle Bra halter-style (at least I think that's what it is)

Anyways, it has a thick band right below the girls and thick ties so it won't cut into your neck - and the cups are wide enough where you don't feel like you're falling out of it while still being a nice demi-style

4/22/2009 12:31:43 PM

ps my issue with Delias sizes are mainly the blouse-style shirts (and a lot of dresses there)... They fit everywhere except for the boobs, and it's way too tight in most of them graphic tees are fine though

4/22/2009 12:32:56 PM

I got a VS bathing suit that didn't quite work the way I wanted and sent it back no problem. They even give you a UPS code sticker just in case. The one I did end up getting was great! I finally felt like the girls had support without the constant pain in the back of my neck from the halter piece.

Though I'm still a fan of that look and definitely like Targets variety.

4/22/2009 12:36:05 PM

i'm quite glad i clicked this thread...

4/22/2009 12:37:04 PM

ugh i hate demi cups. they don't do anything for my boobs and the way mine are shaped, they always seem to slide out of the demi cup. i dont need the shaping, i have that down, i just need something to hold on to them when i, say, bend down to pick something up

4/22/2009 1:29:16 PM

Haven't checked this thread in a bit so:

"this is me...except about purses and every other girlie must have"

*sigh* me too. The only thing that I think makes me girly is my love of sun dresses.
I have never owned a designer purse, designer jeans...or well, anything designer. And I don't see the need to. Sometimes I wish I could get into things like that. But then again, I like having my money go to other things.

And back on track:
Old Navy has cheap bikini's. Not sure which kind of styles they have this year but I bought one last year that was super cheap and really cute.
Also, VS is really easy to return. They give you a paid postage stamp to return things in. Yes, It takes a bit of time for it to turn around but if you see something you love just get it and return it later if it doesn't fit, or it just might be perfect!
