Sponsored Post: Express Denim, All Dolled Up And Ready For Fall

It’s still summer, season of dresses and flats and usually-frizzy hair, but more-formal fall is just around the corner. And – as always when the weather cools down – dark denim can easily anchor a sleek evening look, and Express has a couple of pairs perfect for the job

Express’s Stella Barely Boot Cut Jean ($49.50) is an easy place to start: the uniform dark wash and minimal embellishment makes it easy to dress up or down. But especially up.

We’d add a sequined tank ($68) topped with a cropped blazer ($78) for cool nights – the slim camisole and long leg line are incredibly flattering against the blazer’s more boxy cut. To make legs look really, impossibly long, add platform sandals ($385) in a dark color.

With such a festive shirt, accessories can be clean and simple: an oversized clutch ($95) and turquoise earrings ($4) for a pop of color.
