Well they were just cheap old navy ones, but they were broken in just right! Plus they got me through Roo last year, so there was sentimental value there. Oh well. They went to a better place

Hey any of you girls going to All Points West in NJ? I'm going just for sunday to see Jack Johnson, Trey Anastasio, Matt Costa and my lover Ben Harper <33
I'm disappointed, my paycheck finally cleared and I went to the mall to blow it...and I could not find one thing! ( I went into Old Navy, Steve and Barrys, Gap, Target and H&M) Stores are putting out fall clothes already and I can't even look at them b/c it is soo hot out!
I just saw this! How did it go? I'll keep thinking good thoughts for the rest of the afternoon, just in case it hasn't happened yet.
And don't worry so much about not knowing excel and such. I was worried about that when I first graduated, thinking that everyone else must know so much more than I did. Now that I've seen the entry-levels we hire, I know that it's not that important. BS your way through the interview, say you have a general knowledge of whatever they're asking for (I mean, you do know it exists!) and then once hired, you can 'fess up. It's more important that your personality fits with the company and the people you'll work with. The rest can be learned.
I'm hoping it went well. I'm supposed to get a phone call to set up another meeting with the other manager. I had to take an excel and internet explorer test, thank God one of my friends quickly taught me excel. Thanks for the good thoughts I appreciate it!!

^^ I hear you with the stores putting out fall clothes-- we got hoodies and whatnot in, and as much as I LOVE hoodies, it's still 100+ in the afternoons here, and the last thing I want to put on my body is anything thick, or long sleeved.
I just dropped over 200 dollars at Urban Outfitters.com...but I got free shipping. I'm so weak - 5 dresses, a messenger bag for back to school (the real reason I was on there in the first place), a raglan tee, strawberry lip balm, and awesome purple sunglasses. I didn't even venture into the non-sale items or the shoes - and it's probably a good thing. Eesh. I would post pics, but they would probably take up too much space. One dress is rainbow stripes and super fun.
Ok. I caved. Here are the pics. New clothing excites me too much.

I'm in *SOO* much trouble. Just found out they're building a new UO in my town. . . I've already applied for a job. I have a master's degree, but I'm applying for a job at a retail store on a college campus because--well--I freaking love their clothes. . .
Watchin' a stretch of road, miles of light explode. Driftin' off a thing I'd never done before. Watchin' a crowd roll in. Out go the lights it begins. A feelin' in my bones I've never felt before...
handgun, I don't know if you wanted to shop online, but try surfing Zappos, Amazon and department stores like Macys. You can find good prices a lot of times... I got great leather equestrian style flat boots last winter for around $100, which considering what they were going for in stores, it was a deal. Oh! And be sure to check out Steve Madden and Bakers, they both have good sales sometimes.
AND: Thrift/consignment/exchange stores might have some cute barely worn boots right now. I could see a lot of people selling boots once the weather gets warm because they aren't wearing them and they'd rather have the money for something else. I know I've sold much of my winter wardrobe so I could buy cute summer clothes... and soon I'll be doing it all over again. And if you hit up Salvation Army or Goodwill in a rich neighborhood, you can get lucky and find never worn castoffs.

So here's something we haven't talked about, or at least not in a long time: Lingerie! ;D Of course its more fun if you have someone to show it to, but I love me some cute undies just for myself. Not to mention it feels like the best shopping score ever to find a great bra! So anyone have any good finds recently? Victoria's Secret just brought a bunch of adorable new stuff that is young and flirty without being too cutesy like Pink or really trashy like their other stuff... its sweet, sophisticated AND more affordable than anything they've had. I got a bra for $25 and panties for $6. I couldn't find it online, and I think they're just bringing it out in larger stores, but if you have a big Vickie's in your neighborhood, its worth checking out!

^^ I love lingerie, but our Victoria's Secret has the smallest selection ever. I have to wait until I go somewhere bigger to find something worth buying. I can always take advantage of the 5 for 25 PINK undies though.
I got a new victoria secret catalog yesterday, and right now with any pink order, you get a free tote. There are only 2 of the 4 colors left, so they must be going quick. Get to shopping!
clarity - i feel ya on the flipflops... i wore an AWESOME pair last year at roo and then this year i wore a pair of birkenstocks which provided my feet a lot more support for walking all day which was nice but it sucked when they got wet...and of courseeeeeeee the super silly foot tan!! so unavoidable!
Wait on it, and I bet it will go on sale. It's Victorias Secret right? I rarely see anything of theirs sell out, and they always have some sort of sale going on every few months. Oh, and i'm guessing it's part of the early fall stuff? To make room for stuff that actually arrives in the fall they'll prolly discount it!
sorry, i'm a sales fiend! I'm actually waiting for more of their bathing suits to go on sale - I got my suit for this year for less than $20!
also, you can almost always find a coupon by searching for victorias secret + coupon. One time I got 20% off, free shipping + a fee bag, that is actually pretty nice now that I ripped the VS logo off it.
I do this plus shop through ebates whenever I shop online

Hey girls... so has anyone had this problem before??
I dye my hair... a lot. So my hair was a med. blond and I went in my pool... showered... my hair was tinted green on the ends! So I decided to dye my hair a med. brown to cover the green... it covered. Then I went back into my pool after I dyed it brown and the green tint showed up once again.
So I decided to call the 1800 number on the Clairol hair dye box and they told me to purchase a blond-RED and a Med. Brown... I'm sitting here with this red dye in my hair slightly freaking out. I'm hoping what they told me is correct and it will fix my hair. I really should just go to a salon but I can't afford it
I'm supposed to leave the red dye in for 20 mins then not rinse it but add the brown dye (with 1oz shampoo mixed in) and then check it every 5 minutes until I get the right color...yiiiiikes
Ok I'm sorry I just needed to tell someone about this mess I got myself into because I think my friends are over me screwing up my hair lol.
^^^^holy quack, good luck with that. I did something almost as bad in my younger days. I looked like a rainbow for awhile. have some karma and my best wishes!
Yeah good luck. I dyed my hair once and it ended up pink/orange/barf. Ended up having to get it stripped. Took about 6 months, $300, a burned scalp, and lots of fallen out hair before it was back to normal. Hence why I no longer dye my hair.

i always get tons of underwear at VS and never end up wearing half of them. My FAVORITE underwear is the Barely There brand, they are reaaaally comfortable, even the thongs. and unless I'm wearing something white, I'll usually wear black ones cause thhey make me feel a little sexier. I do wear VS bra's usually though, but Vanity Fair has some that fit really well too.
i bought some cheap fruit of the loom bras to wear when i exercise and for roo. they are cotton with underwire. mannn i so impressed. they are comfortable and i like the cotton fabric for summer. they dont show under clothing and they wash very well. ive washed them a ton since i use them to exercise and they look fabulous. needless to say i went out and bought some more for everyday. two are white with the cutest very light pink piping. i have spent a MINT on bras - i think its a wise buy if the bra flatters and lasts - however, id put these bras up against any others. i think they were like 2 for12 or something crazy like that
