I wasn’t blessed with long legs (*silently cries*) but with the right pair of heels and the right pair of jeans, I can still live that long-legged life! Express is one of the few places where I’ve always been able to find jeans that fit my body (and by body I mean my hips, my butt, my legs; my curves). Their high-rise jean leggings are my most favorite of their styles. The high waist prevents against that annoying gap in the back, and the cut is very slimming and leg-lengthening. This particular pair is the perfect shade of gray, and the rips at the knees and zips at the hip add a little bit of edginess that I like in my jeans.
