| - Jacquelinewhat has happened to that store? it's becoming more like BR. i used to like to go in there, to get clothes that were more party like, and to show off curves; but now it just makes me hide them and makes me look larger than i actually am (i'm a size 2!!)
Supporting Evidence:
FIGURE A. I tried on this skirt with a red top; the ones by it .. meant to go with it. NOT only did this skirt have an unflattering length, but shape as well. it was meant to go straight down, but since i have hips, it went slightly out and made me look wider. its length made me look shorter. there was nothing interesting about it and the waist came up too high.
FIGURE B. I tried on these pants, figuring i would like them because they're expensive. They are "the editor pant", supposedly the best kind in the world. not so. not only did they come up high on my waist, but there was A LOT of extra room in the butt.. under, where it goes to my thighs... its supposed to be tailored in at least some respect there, i believe, especially for me. also, they were too long, waay too long, and its not because i'm short, im actually tall ( i think) for a size 2, i think they should have S and L for people in these pants if they're so perfect, plus, they're straight enough to look unappealing, yet flared enough where you cant hem. i can only see myself in high heels in these, yet the bottoms come out so wide, it makes my leg look like a stick with a huge balloon around it. plus, i image that these would be hard to iron, and would get wrinkled easily. i also didnt like the shirts they had to go with it. being 5% cashemere does not mean that it's cashmere!! and doesnt mean you can charge for it!! i personally think there mix of cashmere, lambswool, and argyle/whatEVER looks really cheap; as in quality, and looks like it will be hard to maintain (as opposed to FCUKs cashmere, 100%, and is DIVINE). and the "satin tops", pictured here. i dont like how there's not lining of shelf bra in these. its not form fitting at all, just hangs there. for me, this just goes out to the point of my chest, then goes straight down, not showing that i have hips or a stomach; making everything the same width.
FIGURE C. this sweater, while it looks good on the manequin, looks horrible in real life. though i tried a small, it was still too big, and tight in the shoulders. same problem as satin shirt, breast/no curves way.
FIGURE D. these pants have a light/dark pink stripe on them, and really werent worth the price. had the same cut in length (same problem as brocade ones) but i figured that they're black, i'll wear them with shoes. they really werent worth it, but i needed black pants. i was afraid to try them on because they were the same cut as the others, but they were actually really tight in the butt (its weird that i keep saying that) and yet not tight in the hip or inseam, especially thighs. in lighter colors, the only problem is -lines. ... thats all! the shirt with this, i got in a S, to wear as undershirts to the sheer shirts i got ONLY, they fit incorrectly in the stomach, but i like the effect it gives under the long sleeved shirts ( i know, i got sucked in) . i got a lime green and light pink one.
FIGURE E. i also got sucked into the tweed skirt thing. i just fell in love with the beaded embroidery (though the other skirts like this that i tried on, i was appalled at the straight pleats.. and i almost cried!!) the jacket that went with this had too much shoulder pad, and i was happy it went on sale. no difference b/n the 2 and 4 size, except length. i liked the 2 better, but as an investment bought the 4. the 4 is longer, but i liked the shape of the 2 better. the 2 was too high on the waist though. i also bought 4 long sleeved shirts. white, black, pink, and green. the pink and green were to go with the things i bought (pants and skirt) and i bought respective camisoles to go with. black and white were to go with other things i had. they were 2 for $24 ( a steal, since regularly $20!!!) camisoles look great under them. go a size larger for casual (i dont like TOO big of ostuf fon me, esp in the shoulders, so i bought S instead of M.. M was too clingy)
CONCLUSION:
Express has changed for the worse. It used to be trendy in a good way, but now has started tailoring to the older crowd. has become more like limited, i mean.. they practically hold the same stock!! i feel like they dont make clothes for people like me anymore, where it used to be the only place i could GO for clothes, especially jeans. i feel betrayed. Service there is usually bad, but today it was good. They're a little pushy there, but if you want help, and are shopping along, they have good service in the fitting rooms. the manager there sucks. i had gone there yesterday to return my defective earmuffs that broke, and was wearing the scarf i got free with purchase. they MADE me give them the scarf back (me, fighting really hard for it), OFF of my neck, even though i said they could give me store credit, i would go RIGHT back and buy something. so i called my mom. being a platinum card holder, she had a lot of pull, but when i went back the next day 1) i felt akward around the manager 2) they didnt give me MY scarf back, they gave me an ugly argyle one. >_< so, seems like im stuck wearing out of season express clothes, when people compliment me, and they go there looking for similar styles, just to be disappointed by what they have.
SOLUTION: New Stores
everything there fits so well, fits me so well, and is made well. some of the stuff is waay overpriced, but for the way it fits me, is (sometimes) well worth it. fits in ALL the right places.
i just thought it was interesting that they had my skirt that i had bought in a shirt; even in different colors.
things i want :
 
i want to buy this for dan:
i HAVE this jacket, in reverse colors. it's good smaller; fitted. worth the price, but gets stretched easily.
i also like prophetik... seems im getting more conservative, wwway far retro.. but not in the mainstream way. not so much H&M anymore, i cant find anything in that store. sometimes Hollister, for leg warmers!! | | |
| - Just (you do it to yourself) i was dead when four people showed up at my house and told my mom to wake me up. it was people from southern va. governor's school people! and they sooo tried to kidnap me, even tho my hair was all messed up and i was in my pjs. i just talked to them from the top of the stairs and told them places to eat and told them to come back in an hour so i could take a shower.
then, i thought my mom had taken the car, so i asked them to come get me, and when they came out, i saw i had the car, so i ended up driving to tysons (for the first time, all the way... but did they need to know that, no....!)and paul in his little convertible doing semicircles around me.. no fair!
and then, i lost joseph along the way, cause honestly, im not a good person to follow. i drive too.. crazily. ( ihad dan and rissa in my car -- jammin to britney spears). so, we got there, but had to find parking. luckily, we parked right outside rainforest cafe, which i didnt know.. but yeah. we made reservations, then went with joseph to get a corsage for his prom(which was that night)

| - Waited
 first, and foremost, here's prom pictures. check out was crazy. my physics exam was pretty easy. then, my note had said 9:10, so i left early (class was extended to 9:25). i saw brian walking with tripp and called out to him. people were telling him he had to leave the premises because he had checked out, when in actuality, he hadnt yet. then we walked around for a while, went to attendance and waited for dan to get out of his class. then we went to ihop with my free breakfast coupon and had some good times. i like how i didnt wear a bra or anymakeup to school today, cause i thought i was going to go home really quickly. oh yeah, i picked up my Japanese Honor Society cord thing too. I said vive le french toast like :"vee vay leigh french. toast." and dan made fun of me, but then he ordered his eggs "medium", so he had no right to laugh. then we went to tower records, and i was trying to hurry ppl up cause i wanted to go home and take a shower and get ready for prom ( i had to do other peoples stuff too). but then we went to fair oaks mall to get dan some shirts and brian some cigars. and we went shopping for brian too. he wanted this shirt off the manequin, and we couldnt find it, so i started to take it off, and brian was like : you pissed that guy off, honestly, that was not polite. not cool. so i was like.........okay. never help you again. then i went home, and no one was even ready to come over to my house for like an hour and a half, so i took a shower and did my makeup. then annie came over and i did her makeup. then i waited like an hour, and sindy came over and i did her makeup. then annie came back and i did her hair. then annie left and i took sindy home. which reminds me >> yesterday, i went for my job interview and also went to sae min's to decide which prom dress she should wear. so then i waited for sae min. and waited and waited. then i did my hair and got dressed. since it was raining, i sent my mom to get sae min. then, we gathered our stuff. we were going to go to springfield for pictures, but it was like 5:30, and bad traffic because of the blink 182 concert. (at least thats what my mom said). so, we called manassas, and there werent any openings. then we called fair oaks, and there was one at 7. it was like 6:30 then. i had to get gas because my mom had gone to warrenton that day, and used it all up. i didnt have cash, so my dad paid. then we went to the mall. all walking through the mall with our bright prom dresses on, that was fun. and when we went to the picture place, they said they would only take 5 pictures. me and my mom were like : no, youll take more. and she was like.. mhm.. and i had to pose myself, because she was just going to take us head on, and i had to ask for a soft lens, and move the chairs, and instruct her in which way to take the pictures. it was just.. bad. she only took like one closup, one far, 3 together. ... i hated it then i saw david mcmahon and his date ( i always see him crazy places). then we were hungry, and it was like 7:30 i think, and we went looking in the mall for someplace to eat. we went to bennagins, and the wait was 20 min, then we went to champps and it was the same wait, but we ate there. i got the shanghai steamer, which tasted good, but i dunno.. maybe i wasnt hungry, even tho i was. sae min got meatloaf. ??? then we went our seperate ways (after buying umbrellas) i KNOW right?!? it rained the whole time!! my dress was wrinkly. .. and i got lost for like 25 minutes going there. then we went to prom. i didnt see many people i knew, and our "group" that we met there kept leaving us!! no one was eating the food either. i wish i would have. i wore my sea horse purse... -_-;;; ^_^. at first, i cared that we had a lot of people dancing with us, but after a while, i didnt care, and me and sae min danced by ourselves. this one guy kept asking nina to dance, and it was scary. my sequins on my dress scratched me when i danced, and since i took the straps off my dress, it was tied very tight in the back. (it got to midnight quickly) i ended up putting my straps back on. then, i saw po-cheng, in his all white, and he went with us to my car, and i drove him to his car, and he followed me to the bowling place. i got lost twice (turning the wron gway out of the parking lot, which we can pretend didnt happen, cause i never went to the parking place to begin with, so of course iw as going to get lost) and the turning the wrong way onto sunrise valley (before reston pkwy) . then we changed in the car.. and it was weird cause i put my shirt over my dress, shorts under it, bra under shirt, and i pulled it all out/over everything. sae min was done before me, and she had a one peice and change dinto jeans. no fair. (its hard to type with my nails). bowling was fun. i thought it was going to be lame, but it wasnt. there was good food and such. sae min won a prize (free bowling party) cause her birthday was yesterday, the closest to that day (then june 12th). we started to get tired around 3:30, but we werent really tired, just of bowlinbg. we wanted to go watch a movie or do something, but nothing was open for us!! (even clubs would be close to closing, after we had gotten there). oh, and i love how i started my period today in physics. bleh. | | |
| yeah, today i was sick, and didnt have a ride to school, even if i wanted one.
i went to the bank to change the name on my checking account, get checks, and a new ATM card. i balanced my checkbook yesterday, and realized that the category that most of my money goes to is under >presents< . that just says something about me, doesn't it? from about $500 to$120. oh well. im going to work tomorrow. im putting all my barbies from before 1998 up on ebay. wanting to make some money for college.
i took my brother to the dentist today.
i also filled out the form for my new social security card.
i also am not going to the meeting on this wednesday for the finalists for the girl scout scholarship.
my mom says its because i didnt kiss ass, and that no $1,000 amount should be enough to compromise the person i am. can it hurt that much to kiss ass? i mean.. its for 1K.
this reminds me of survivor. which, btw, i did watch. and i did vote.
i am. overqualified.
physics test tomorrow, which i cant take because i didnt stay after for the lab i need to take before the test. also, i plan to be getting my diploma changed during that period.
i hate acne.... so i guess im glad im not getting my pic taken. i would have had to get my eyebrows done too. | | |

The Priss
Deliberate Brutal Love Dreamer (DBLDf)
Mature. Responsible. Aristocratic. Excuse me. The Priss.
Prisses are the smartest of all female types. You're highly perceptive, and confident in your judgements. You'd take brutal honesty over superficiality any time--your friends always know where they stand with you. You're completely unfake. Don't tell me that's not a word. You're also excellent at redirecting internal negative energy.
These facts indicate people are often intimidated by you. They also fall for you, hard. You have a distant, composed allure that many find irresistible. If only more of them lived up to your standards.
You were probably the last among your friends to have sex. And the first to pretend that you're pregnant. LOL. Though you're inclined to use sex as weapon, at least it's not as one of mass destruction. You're choosier than most about your partners. A supportive relationship is what you're really after. Whether you know it or not, you need something steady & long-term. And soothing.
