i actually stopped by today and bought two skirts

^ I bought a skirt too.

I am pleased with it since I've had my eye on it for sometime. It was on sale and I got an additional 20% since it was clearance.

It's not a very good cut since I'm short and it runs long on me.

It's the same pattern as Erin's purchase except as a skirt.

I bought a pair of jeans at Express. They fit nearly perfect at first, but buy the end of the day, the stretched out of shape. I never really liked their shirts.

For my town, this is my favorite store.

Their jeans don't have any stretch in them. 100% denim unlike Gap that has, what, 2-4% stretch stitched in.

How did they end up stretching out?

 

[Erin]

^ No, Express definitely has jeans with spandex.

I find it so tough to find 100% cottong jeans these days... and non low-rise...

I few years ago they had women's skinny jeans that fit me perfectly!! They would probably run big on a girl tho - and kind of baggy.

They were on sale for $19.50! - so I bought them in 4 washes - and wear them every day!

The jeans I got have 2% spandex. Another pair I bought with 1% spandex didn't have this problem, and other brands with 2% spandex also didn't have that problem.

I know, I wish I could find more mid-rise jeans.

^ No, Express definitely has jeans with spandex.

Are they sold at larger stores? None of the jeans sold at my Express have jeans with Spandex. NONE.

 

[Erin]

^ I've seen them at all of their stores in the U.S... where are you? I'm hard pressed to find many stores that don't sell jeans with spandex.

You're lucky! I can't stand stretch in my jeans. I can't stand them sticking to me, it drives me nuts. I still wear jeans from high school that are 100% cotton... they're 7 or 8 years old.

You can now purchase items online at Express.

Thanks for passing that along! Too bad they didn't offer that feature during their recent clearance - it'd definitely be helpful, since my local store didn't offer their entire selection.

I just took a look at their latest collection, and so far only a couple of items are catching my attention. The off-the-shoulder chiffon dress is definitely on my wish list (though I probably wouldn't wear it off-the-shoulder); why must it cost nearly $90?

 

[papa_levante]

I definitely enjoy a lot of the jewelry they've dished out. A lot of it is very Chanel-inspired with the ribbons and random trinkets and charms.

I found the items online are not nearly as marked down there as in the stores. This method is similar to Banana or Gap - clearance items are not as marked down online as they are in stores.

Does anyone happen to know about Express pant sizes as far as S vs XS goes? I'm a size 36 EU/4 US and am buying online but am not sure what size I should get. Tia!

 

[Phylicia04]

Im a solid 4 too, and thats what I get at express. their stuff is pretty tts.

I was just there over my lunch break and got two really nice silk tops, on sale for 6.99 (originally over 80) I was impressed!! Get there if you can!

 

[Traversant]

^ So would a size 4 take size small pants? Or xs?

 

[Erin]

^ Typically a size 4 & 6 = Small, and 0 & 2 equates to an XS.

I wear a 0 at Express, and most (retail) stores, and wear XS in their tops, if that helps at all...

^ And wow! What a great deal! I've been to Express here in LA, and have basically seen crap. Do you have photos of the silk blouses? I'm jealous!
