By now you know that Express is one of my all-time favorite budget-friendly shopping destinations. I’m all about finding great investment pieces, but there’s nothing better than a bargain, especially when it comes to trendy pieces that you want to try out without making a major financial commitment.

I recently perused the jean selection at Express which I absolutely love because (a) many of their styles come in petite and tall (yesss!!) sizing and (b) they have a seemingly-endless assortment of just about every denim style under the sun. I snagged this cool pair of high-waisted skinny jeans with contrast washing on the sides and frayed hems, and as you can see in the photos, the fit is top notch despite the friendly price tag.

When it comes to denim trends, styles have been all over the map in recent seasons with designers showcasing everything from flares, to culottes, to skinnies, straight legs, wide legs, rips, acid washes, frayed hems, high waists, low waists and everything in between. Who knows what we’ll be wearing next season, so not having to break the bank to bring these puppies home definitely made them a no-brainer. I’m all about that guilt-free trend hopping!

If you’re looking to freshen up your denim collection, I highly recommend Express and to sweeten the deal, now through September 15th, you can hop into an Express store and get $25 off in-store purchases of $100+ with code 1184 (terms and conditions below)!
