So is my evident obsession with this pair of white jeans getting awkward? Based on the fact that they make an appearance on either the blog or Insta about once a week (which reads I’m wearing them at least twice a week and just not posting pics of the other times out of shame), I’d say Yass: we’re starting to feel uncomfortable about it.
Let me just apologize right off the bat for the fact that I’m about to make you victims of the most random, melodramatic post of all time. I have things on my mind.

If you have any suggestions for meaningful ways to contribute to that or good places to donate to, will you please share? Please please please. And thank you.
Another thing: I have a blogging friend who some (or lots) of you may know, who recently found out that her husband has stage 4 Melanoma cancer. She is 8 months pregnant with her 5th child. Sigh – can you even imagine?

I also keep an ongoing list of ‘investment pieces’ I’m interested in (i.e. nicer handbags, a super classic, well-made pair of heels, etc.). Then, I wait until my favorite retailers who sell things like that are having their huge sales…. i.e. Nordstrom… i.e. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES… and then that’s when I buy. I basically never, ever buy my nicer items at full price, cuz why would you when you can hold out and then get them for a significant discount? Example: this would be an excellent time to pull the trigger on getting a super classic, nicer…
Ok people – let’s cut to the chase and talk about the only thing that anyone really cares about right now: did you all watch The Bachelorette last night?! Am I a teensy bit embarrassed to admit that I definitely did watch the Bachelorette last night? I tell ya what – I made it through all of my college/early-marital years with no interest in these types of shows and then on a dare (or something) I watched like one episode a few seasons back, and it was all over from there.
