Express Ultimate Columnist Double Weave Pants in Fantasia Blue

{Blazer: Zara l Scarf: Vera Wang l Blouse: from Thailand l Pants: ULTIMATE DOUBLE WEAVE COLUMNIST PANT in Fantasia Blue (00S) l Boots: Croft and Barrow}

I am all about bright and bold colors as of late. No surprise when I saw these Express pants, I ordered two immediately in Fantasia Blue and Mars Red on Black Friday since they offered 40% off on everything. My last Express pants purchases were since last year so it was about time. I have always loved pants at Express because of its sexy silhouette, sleek & modern design and they create this amazing effect that make your legs look longer. The best part, they come in small sizes that fit shorter ladies like myself (just wish more styles/colors are available in 00S). However, their prices are on the high side - at about $80 a pair but I personally never buy at regular price. Thank god, they often have coupon or great offer like buy one get a second pair 50% off or etc.

This particular style is made of 49% Polyester/47% Cotton/4% Spandex (the older columnist I bought last year had more cotton and much thicker than this version). It is Low rise, slim fit, barely boot leg. Big plus, machine washable!!!! One thing I learn, it may not be a good choice to wear with knee high boots as the fabric gathers up above the boots and kind of ruins the look. I have to constantly smooth out the pants. It is better worn with heels. The lenght is perfect given that I am almost 5'2", it is a tad bit loose around the waist but I can deal with that.
