Ladies! I need a little help. If you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen this photo. Earlier this week, I went to JCrew (the factory store) and got these cute white Matchstick Jeans. Bob thought they were great and I’ve been wanting white jeans for a while now, so I pulled the trigger. Then, I came home. And started thinking. (A dangerous pastime, I know.) And I started wondering about the bunching around the knees. You see, these are skinny jeans, not jeggings. And I wondered if after 5 minutes of wearing them if I would be annoyed that they’re always bunching.
This is where you come in. Do you have these jeans? I just need a little help with them. Can you tell me if you have any of the problems I’m describing or if I’m just being silly? I already feel like I won’t be able to tuck them into boots. Is this true?
HELP ME!
PS: I am also open to opinions from those of you who do not have these jeans. Let me have it!

You know, I went through a huge JCrew slump. I would try things on, and they never seemed to fit right and flatter my body. But that has all changed. I am seriously in love with everything they come out with and I just can’t seem to get enough. From the way they style it, to the quality, it’s just perfect for me right now. Wish it was a little more perfect for my wallet though. 
But these are some of my favorite things I found when I stepped into their store just the other day (my favorite is the chambray top!). So Lovely!

As I’m writing this, I’m sitting outside in a Florida room, by the pool, which is in front of a lake listening to birds chirp near green, green trees and palm trees. I am seriously living the life of my dreams. I don’t know how I got this blessed in life, and I have no intention of saying “Look at me! See how awesome my life is!?!” It’s more to say how wonderfully grateful I am to have this experience not once, but 3 years in a row! And to encourage you that no matter what your vacation is—weather a month, a week, an hour, 5 minutes—to take time to unplug and forget about Instagram, Facebook, and what’s for dinner, and just sit still for a little bit. You will find more long-term and short-term benefits than you realize.
Now, take a deep breath. Hold it. And let it out.
And have a great day.

We’re in Florida!!! The weather is everything I dreamed it would be. Yesterday I even had shorts on!
Anyway, on our way down, we stopped at some friends house. You know the kind of friends who bring out things in yourself that you didn’t know were there? Those kinds of friends. They were so accommodating and sweet and made me want to move to Ashveille, NC! So cheers to Matt and Betsy. Thanks for all your hospitality. Hope to see you on our way back!
And yes, I’m going to paint my toe nails. Thanks for the reminder.
