Express: Irresistible Sparkle & Shine

I had to try on the colored jeans at Express after seeing the red ones, but it was the blues that really caught my eye. And while at Express Manhattan Mall last week, I had to try on a myriad of other pants, as they were having a buy one get one for 50% off sale. And then I kept spotting shiny things, and soon I was carrying an armful into the dressing room.

Super sparkly legs = super need. $98.

Disco Mama jacket with liquid leggings. Jacket is $128.

The blue look I first posted here. 

Anyone else feeling this way about Express these days? I keep grabbing, and grabbing, and liking what I'm seeing in the mirror.

Back to The Berry for New Year's Eve

I'm tempted to just post Strawberry the rest of this holiday week, as poor Strawberry was ignored while I was on maternity leave. How I missed walking in the door and quickly spotting lots of outrageous fun stuff. Like lots of sequined stuff, perfect "lows" to your "high" if you're doing that high/low thing for New Year's Eve:

Sequin vest for under $30. And here's a super-short sequin skirt ($19.99) if you're so inclined:


It may look like a tube top from here, but it's a skirt. I think.


And leggings for $19.99. Strawberry has all the sequins covered. Although I wouldn't expect these to hold up long as I saw sequins hanging from a thread on a pair at the rack. If you're worried, here's a sequin racing-stripe legging option ($14.99), which isn't so likely to come undone.
