I thought that I would need a size 00 at Express, but luckily I fit a 0 b/c 00 isn't carried in stores. I initially thought they were pants, but found out they're actually twill leggings haha. Good thing my work is casual enough that I can wear these! They are available in 00 online, so if anyone is in need of form fitting (non-cotton) leggings, try these out!
Express seam-back twill legging
...and in black
These are the Zara pants in 00 that I bought in 2006 and wear religiously. They are now stretched out and have to be worn belted at the tightest notch. I stopped buying Zara pants b/c they no longer carry 00... Why did you do that Zara?
Back in March (geez luiz time FLIES!) I did a post on my love for false lashes (here)
I haven't had any opportunities to wear falsies lately, but I sure love to collect them! Here are the newest additions to my collection ~ Model 21 lash in #21:

1 eye on..
Both lashes on!
Both eyes on, from a distance
I purposely ordered the extra long length lashes, to be worn with heavy eye makeup. With very light shadows, the lashes are super visible and not good for daytime, but for nighttime dark smokey eye makeup, I like that they will be visible, but not too much so. Because they are so thin and wispy, they tend to disappear from a distance..

These lashes are ok for such a cheap price, but I still stand by my Korean Darkness lashes!!
They fit like a glove!

I love those leggings/pants on you! You have SUCH SKINNY LEGS so jealous! I make skinny jeans look too tight always because of my huge thighs haha. People would always ask if I was trying to be an emo kid T_T
ReplyDeleteThose lashes look beautiful on you :) Can't wait to see you do a smokey eye with them!
those are some slimming pants wow~!
ReplyDeleteI freak people out whenever I wear falsies at school hahaha but someee girls wear them for special occasions like formals and dance performances. I know .. my college is full of boring nerds LOL.
ReplyDeleteI really like the creme eyeliner. The black is really quite rich and stays for a long time. Bad for tightlining cuz it will melt onto lower lashline in an hour. If you're careful to use it above your falsies they stay forever without smudging :D You can also smudge it out a little if you want smokey ^__^ Not bad!
Aww Angie I actually would prefer that my legs fill out the pants more (or should I say I prefer slimmer pants? LOL), because if there's some room it creates ugly creasing, bunching, and wrinkles!
ReplyDeleteYay for fitting pants!! :) They look really cute on you, both colors. You are so slim!! I've been seeing lots of leggings lately that look just like work pants but then when you put them on, you're like...WHAT THE... LOL At least for me. I feel everything is so tight on me hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe falsies look really good on you. It makes such a dramatic difference, you don't even need mascara on it :D
The false eye lashes are beautiful on you. I plan to check them out :).
ReplyDelete^Thanks Jen! Ooooh dude I SO know what you mean about the WTF moments. I tried on 8 pairs of pants at Express, and some were loose and bunched like crazy at my butt+crotch, yet were TIGHT at my ankle! WTH!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sydney! They are worth checking out, but I would recommend a dif brand of lashes to you if you're looking for some.. let me know.
wauww, your legs are so skinnyyyy XD
ReplyDeleteSexy! I like false lashes but I'm so lazy to put them on! When I yawn, they tend to detach from my eyelids. LOL...
ReplyDeleteYou're gorgeous. <3
You are soo tiny model like! I wish I had thin legs, but my thighs are pretty thick for a "petite" girl. Heheh! Ohh those lashes look gorgeous on you and I looove your hair! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the lashes, I should try wearing that sometime:)
ReplyDelete^Hehe hi Chau! I've gotten to the point where I can apply falsies in 5 sec and it's easier than putting on liner!
ReplyDeleteSandra ~ yes give them a try!
April ~ it's funny b/c in SF I never considered myself tiny.. there so many itty bitty Asian girls running around here who make me feel big! But thank you :) Annnd who're you calling model like Miss April?! Heh you are a real model! ^_~
Birthday buddie you are soo silly! You do have a model figure! I'm not a real model--not agency represented, I'm what you call a bootleg model--I audition sometimes and hope for the best, but rarely land a gig because my teeth are still crooked and I'm short. Heheh! It's okay, it's just fun and I love my job as a preschool teacher. :) I hope you're having a GREAT weekend gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI gave up on jeans from Express (was a horrible experience in the fitting room) and I only look at the tops. Now, this is kinda of like jeggings, no? Really innovative, slim fit but not too tight! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Express 0 fits you. My local stores do carry 00. I haven't shopped there in ages. Those pants look super nice on you. Did you use their coupon this weekend?
ReplyDeleteYour legs are so skinny!! Isn't it funny (and a little sad) when leggings fit like pants?? I almost never go shopping for pants anymore since, like you said, I try on a ton only to end up leaving the store cranky and empty-handed.
ReplyDeleteI really have to check these pants out, I am in a desperate need for work pants as well. Pants shopping is also a nightmare for me because 99.99% of the time, they are WAY too long. Do you have to alter the lenght? They look so good on you.
ReplyDeletesophia-- I went to express today to see if they had work pants too and to take advantage of their friends and family. i tried on 2 pairs of their slacks in 00 -- the waist was too big and length was too long. I asked this gay guy about the petite sizes they sell online and he gave me this look like..."I'm a gay guy, how am I suppose to know about woman's petite pants?" LOL. WHATEVER! Man I wished I tried the ones you're wearing...I didn't see those! I like them a lot on you, they fit nice. Are they perfect length or did you fold them in?
ReplyDeleteYou know the lashes don't look that noticeable from the last pic. Only from the first few pics because they are up close. I think you can wear them out during the day....in San Jose. LoL
Omg - that's how a size 0 fits on you? Then I don't dare to squeeze into a 00! These are a great find Sophia. Twill leggings look just like skinny work pants to me!
ReplyDeleteI was playing with the model 21 lashes today too. I thought it was so hard to put them on because the spine is so...stiff. Maybe I'm just not skilled enough!
Sophia, did you know I am a lover of Express.. tops! I have not found any jeans or pants that fit me yet.. but I think I need to check out their leggings :D moohaha I love how fitted they are on you. Pretty lashes, looks like you're so ready for a fun night out!
ReplyDelete^Hanna ~ yep these are kinda like jeggings! But the material is so dif than any other leggings I've tried.
ReplyDeletePetiteLittleGirl ~ YES I did take advantage of the F&F coupon! Pants came out to $25 each :)
Nelah ~ yes I did tuck these in for the photos. I will have to chop off ~2inches (rather, my sister will be chopping it off and hemming hehe)
Ping ~ HAHA! When I went I accidentally asked a girl for help.. and she wasn't a worker!! >_< so embarrassing I always do that! And in San Jose.. girls were lucite heels in the daytime as well.. hahaha.
PAG ~ whew I'm glad to hear you say they look like work pants! I showed my mom and sister tonight and they were super skeptical and told me not to wear to work!
Karen ~ can't wait for next weekend :) We'll have so much to talk about!!
Damn Sophia! The last time I was a size 0 was back in HS -__-. Love the twill leggings! I would love twill leggings! hehehe.. I would also love to be as small as you too!!
ReplyDeleteBTW I really love those lashes! They look so pretty on you and look great w/ that smokey eye you did :]
oh wow those jeans are seeexyy!! <3
ReplyDelete^Thx guys! :D
ReplyDeleteYou don't need an occasion to wear falsies woman.Wear them when the heck ever you want to <3
ReplyDeleteP.S. Express pants are no bueno for me. The crotch is all weird *sigh*
You look so tall in those pants! I am shocked that they fit as well as they did! And the falsies..I love wearing them on a date with hubbie...hehehehe
ReplyDeleteLove the hair color, I also really like the look!!!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered a bunch of ebay lashes. I need to perfect my false lashes skills.
My gosh~!! You're so skinny and gorgeous!! And love the lashes! They are long but makes your eyes stand out! Thankx for sharing where you got them!
ReplyDeletelove the pants they look great on you and I love your shoes :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, you look great! I'm totally purchasing those lashes now, they are so pretty and dramatic. Man, whenever I visit your site I find another thing that I need to buy hehe
