When I was a teenager we had to make our own flare jeans by opening the side seam and sewing in a triangular piece of fabric. I made a few pairs and LOVED those jeans. I wore them until the back hem wore so far up that they looked ridiculous from behind.
In the mid-2000s flares became popular again and I had a pair of True Religion low rise that I lived in.
I actually see True Religion low rise flares a lot when I am thrifting and I always wonder what I was thinking. Those jeans were LOW.

Just the way that I love to spend my Sunday evenings on a long weekend, cleaning bathrooms. It’s probably my most hated chore of housekeeping. I loathe it.
I managed to mostly get Merle’s room looking decent this weekend though (it’s been pretty unorganized since we moved in). And Roo, don’t get me started with her bedroom…

I am sitting here waiting for a big storm that is supposed to come through. The wind is starting to pick up, but I am not holding my breath. So far this summer, every single time they have predicted a good storm hitting us it seems to be minimal or pass us by.
A full 24 hours of rain would be nice because I don’t think we got one of those days for the entire summer. I love rain and loathe the heat. If that isn’t any indication that I live in the wrong city, I don’t know what is.
Tom ordered us Dairy Queen Blizzards that just arrived and they immediately had to go into the freezer.

One of the things 18+ months has taught us…or at least taught me is that you don’t need a huge wardrobe of clothes. I mean, I felt similar before all of this happened but it’s been really reinforced lately.
If you are looking for help building a capsule wardrobe then this post might be for you.
Every time I see someone’s massive walk-in closet bursting with clothes it doesn’t give me envy, it gives me anxiety.
Can you imagine trying to figure out what to wear every day with that much choice?
