I've noticed that the basic non-trendy, non-distressed denim is often only available in-store and not online. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-at-express#post-930592 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:39:49 +0000 Jules 930592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to try the BF jeans, since I figured those would have less stretch and be more forgiving. The fit was pretty good. I am not sure I can do the holes. But I am also wondering how practical the short rolled length is in my climate. They are not long enough to wear unrolled so they don't work for cold weather at all. I do wear denim clams in the summer but I am not sure about looser fit, longer denim in the summer heat. We don't have a lot of transitional weather here. Any thoughts Suz? You know the climate I'm talking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-at-express#post-926539 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:55:37 +0000 Jules 926539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coupon is for 10 days only. There's lots of deals in store too of the buy one, get one 50% category. A lot of the denim is distressed, so probably not appropriate even at my super-casual office where just about anything goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-at-express#post-926536 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:48:51 +0000 Suz 926536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jules, I don't know about the denim. But how long is the coupon good for? They do have nice pleather jackets (ClearlyClaire has one). For the fall, I mean.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-at-express#post-926535 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:48:37 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 926535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be honest, I never had much luck at Express and was a little surprised that Angie was such a fan. I don't think their cuts flatter those of us who have lumps and bumps, and like you I don't like most of their fabrications, they are very poly-heavy. It's been a while since I've been a express size, so I can't speak to the recent denim. But it never hurts to try something on, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-at-express#post-926530 Tue, 07 May 2013 00:40:48 +0000 Jules 926530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An Express store opened near my office. They're quite new in Canada I believe. They were giving out $25 off $50 purchase coupons so of course I am drawn in. However, I'm not loving the stuff at first glance. A lot of bright solids which are hard on me. Short shorts &amp; skirts, thin t shirts which tend not to flatter my belly. Basically it seemed very youthful (and I do shop at Joe Fresh and H&amp;M).<br /> I know the dress pants are Angie-approved but I have poison eye/touch for thick poly-type fabrications, plus it seemed like a very limited selection (not interested in black this time of year...)<br /> So I'm left wondering if I should bother trying on any denim? Is it totally hopeless for a lumpy/bumpy size 12 or worth a try? Thoughts? Any other suggestions? </p>
