Links I Love Week 7
This week, I met with a new blogger friend Jess Keys. We shot some fun photos out in the freezing cold and chatted over french fries and wine at Brasserie Margeaux in Chicago. Jess convinced me I needed a pair of high wasted jeans. We popped into Madewell where I surrendered and bought my first pair. I have been wearing Hudsons for years that hit my hips so these are a bit different and higher. I have a long torso and long legs. For reference, I purchased a 27. There is some stretch to them. I will report back how they wear over time.

Bonjour, Rebecca! I’m a Xennial! Born in 1984, it didn’t make sense to me that I was the same generation as someone born between 1988 and 1996, in general, of course. Merci!
I met my partner 14 years ago online! That was way back when it was not as common as it is now. I was frustrated with the guys I met, and thought it was at least worth a try. I told myself that each first date was just “dating practice” and I think that made me more relaxed. I met three guys, liked all of them. Chose this one (he says hi) and remained friends with the other two for a while also. Oddly enough we went to the same college and have some friends in common and lived about a mile apart for a few years but never met. If you’re on the fence, I say try it, you never know.
