New name, same girls!

Let me reintroduce, the VS Social Thread!

Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Since I'm on the short side as well, do you find the inseam to be too long? I think I usually need 28 inches if I'm just wearing flip flops.
If you're referring to the Rerocks, they're long on me. Since the legs are slim, I can turn them under & you can't really tell. They stay that way all day. I always order short in Express jeans when I can. A few of the jeans that only come in one length are short enough w/o turning them under, but most aren't.

There are no more shorts for my size. I don't even know what my size is in Express jeans!

I like yours and These bootcut ones [express.com]

What size did you order?

Maybe I should just order to try them on and return if I don't like it since I've got to go in store this month anyway. Scratchchin

I like the turning them under idea!! I can probably do that for the jeggings that alvs recommended. I am so tempted to order 00 short just because I don't want to spend another $15-$20 hemming it.

I don't buy jeans that need to be hemmed either. That's one good thing about jean leggings. They're easy to turn under & they stay that way.

If you don't think you can wear the 00 short, keep checking the site. I've stalked it many times & seen the size I need pop up. Most of Express jeans do have a lot of stretch in them though.

I'm a 4 in Express Editor pants, but they are kind of baggy at the thigh/butt area, should I go with 6 for these Stella leggings [express.com]since it's the only one that comes in short?

I am tempted to try the Bootcut [express.com] in regular 0 or 00 short because I read one reviewer who is a 4 and grabbed a 2 and 0 and the 0 fit her better than the 2 did.

I'm so confused Scratchchin

You know what? I think I will try the 00 short based on this one girl's review

"I'm 5"2, 110 lbs and have a 24 inch waist. It can be difficult to find jeans that fit well in the waist and legs, but these stella leggings are awesome. The 00 fits like a glove and since these don't bunch up around the ankle, they are perfect for wearing with boots. I also love that these jeans are stretchy and soft, which makes them super comfortable. Thank you express!"

My waist is 27, but that's at the natural waist, not the low waist where I like to wear my jeans. And I'm 5'3" I wonder if the 00 is pushing it Scratchchin

Have them 00 short. One pair fits just right. The other is a little big. Both are 00 though.

Thanks.

Is the contrast stitching really obvious? I'm hoping it doesn't look tacky.

Azn- I'm not sure if that is the exact wash I have since I bought them so long ago. It's just the style and I have some dark ones that look like that. You know how they change them sometimes. Maybe k knows.

Okie dokie. I'm going to take the plunge on all 3 jeans and return the ones I don't like. I hope the 00 short fits me!
