Thank You, Express, For Making Wearing Jeans Enjoyable

I only own three pairs, but I plan to add to my collection.

Thank You, Express, For Making Wearing Jeans Enjoyable
Laura Guerriero

Dear Express,

Throughout my life, I have had such a hard time finding jeans that fit me correctly.

Every time I go to buy jeans, I have to try on several pairs only to walk out of the store empty-handed. They are often too tight at the thighs while too loose at the waist, baggy at the ankles (and I have long legs) or hit too low on my waist and accentuate all of the wrong things. I own about 20 pairs of jeans, and I have to wear a belt with about 17 of them because they do not fit correctly (I often have to buy a bigger size to fit my thighs).

There are only three pairs of jeans I own that I know I never have to wear a belt with that fit me exactly the way I like. Those are your mid rise/high waisted legging jeans. They do not sit low on the waist, covering my stomach in a way that flatters me instead of accentuating anything. The fact that these stretch with you makes it easier to move around and makes you feel comfortable knowing they're not seconds away from slipping off.

One of my biggest pet peeves with skinny jeans is that they tend to bunch up at the ankle, ruining the effect of skinny jeans unless you roll them up. With your jeans, they hit at the perfect spot- right below the ankle-without bunching up. The option to purchase ankle jeans that hit (for me) right above the ankle makes my flat-lying-jeans-loving heart so happy because I don't have to worry about bunched-up jeans ruining my look.

Lastly, the denim used to make these jeans is so soft and so comfortable (because of their stretchy property) that I don't have that typical "jeans" feeling when I wear them, as in I don't feel stiff and uncomfortable when I wear them. The pair of dark wash jeans I own has faded a little bit, but that's after a ton of washes, and it's nothing out of the ordinary.

So thank you, Express, for making jeans that work with me and actually make wearing jeans enjoyable. Although I only own three pairs, I look forward to expanding my collection in the near future.

Sincerely,

A Loving Customer

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
