Jorts!

July 18, 2016 by jessica 14 Comments

Miu Miu Sunglasses, Banana Republic Bucket Bag, Gap 1969 Best Girlfriend Denim Shorts

I would never have guessed I’d own a pair of jorts. I’m not a fan of denim, nor do I have an affinity for shorts, so combining the two has always been unappealing for my own wardrobe. But when I stopped by Gap a couple of weeks ago, I couldn’t help but to try on a pair. (Mostly because I thought they’d be cute with the H&M off-the-shoulder blouse I purchased that day and have since returned.) These are the brand’s 1969 best girlfriend fit shorts, which have a slightly flared leg opening — a major plus for ladies with larger thighs who have spent too many summers wrestling with shorts that cut into their flesh when they sit down. (You know what I’m talking about.)

In other news, we had an active weekend with a bike ride, a long walk around downtown Madison to play Pokémon Go and try craft cocktails at a new restaurant, another long walk around the Arboretum, and Dave’s family reunion. Our biggest accomplishment was cleaning and organizing our garage. We had boxes down there since I moved in five years ago, along with piles of Dave’s things that have been untouched for just as long. We made it through three-quarters of the garage and donated seven large bags of items, mostly clothing. If there’s one thing that persuades you to stop shopping for awhile, it’s getting rid of that amount of stuff!

P.S. There’s still time to enter to win a piece of engraved gemstone jewelry from LovePendants!

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
