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!

Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last yea Staying at four Graduate Hotel properties last year solidified my love of the brand. Each is located in a college town and the brand does a wonderful job bringing in each city’s personality by way of thoughtful design finishes and kitschy details. In recent years, the brand has done a summer promotion to attract travelers to university towns during a typically quiet time of the year. This year was no different. For 30 hours in May, Graduate sold $30 rooms for the month of July. (Each person was limited to one booking.) We thought about going somewhere outside of the Midwest, but with a trip to Europe scheduled for this fall, we opted to stay closer to home and choose a location that we could drive to. And with that, a trip to Evanston, IL was on the books.

I didn’t know much about Evanston attractions, but I figured we’d find enough things to fill 48 hours. If not, Chicago was only a short train ride away. I’m happy to report that my low expectations were unfounded and I was won over by the city’s charming gardens, quaint neighborhoods, and access to Lake Michigan. It’s not to say that there’s a lot to do in the city. There isn’t, at least in the summer. But it has cute pockets all over that make a stay in the suburbs worthwhile.

Find a list of what we did in Evanston on the blog. (Use the search bar and type in "Evanston" to find it.)

A few moments from the weekend. A few moments from the weekend.
A small moment of peace from the past weekend. I A small moment of peace from the past weekend.

I feel like I’ve been doomscrolling since the news broke of SCOTUS’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. My emotions run the gamut from sadness to frustration to unadulterated rage. I’m deeply disgusted by conservatives and evangelicals, but especially by liberals who supported Bernie Sanders and refused to vote for Hillary Clinton at such a crucial moment in our history. Did you know that 12% of Sanders’ primary election supporters voted for Trump in the general election? In Wisconsin alone, 51,000 of them voted for Trump — a state Trump would win by just 22,000 votes. 

Your vote matters. It matters in national elections, statewide elections, and local elections. It’s crucial that Democrats organize as strategically as conservatives did and restore reproductive rights. 

In the meantime, donate your time, talent, or treasure to help those facing an unwanted pregnancy. @thecut has a great list on their site with organizations to support in states likely to prohibit abortion. I’ve donated to @plannedparenthoodwi.
Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long pro Reveal day is finally here! It’s been a long process that started back in April 2020 with a kitchen ceiling leak that was attributed to water leaking from our tub faucet and working its way through the floor and into the kitchen. Our bathroom was never anything to look at (before photos on the feed), but the leak really accelerated our plans for a full bathroom renovation when timelines — and budgets — allowed. It feels a bit surreal to have it done and I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring it whenever I walk past!
