I’m so happy that the weather is finally starting to cool down in California! I was getting a bit tired of my summer wardrobe and couldn’t wait to pull out my jeans and sweaters. I recently bought these jeans at Madewell when they were having one of their extra 40% off sales, so they were less than $50. I was hesitant to buy them at first because, believe it or not, $50 seems kind of a steep price for me since I’m working with a nonprofit salary. But, I had my last pair of jeans for 5 years before they fell apart, so I figured that buying a new pair of jeans was a good investment. These were the perfect replacement for my old jeans because they fit like a glove–the quality is great, they have just enough stretch, the rise of these jeans hits at just the right spot on my hips, and I like that they’re cropped because I didn’t have to get them hemmed and they look great with all of my shoes.
In addition to me finding a great pair of jeans, life has been great. I was a bit sick last week, but I’m feeling a lot better after having some time to rest this weekend. I’m also really excited about the upcoming week because I’m going to go see Cold War Kids on Thursday! It’s crazy to think that it’s going to be the first concert that I attend this year, especially after all the concerts that I saw last year. For a period of time, I’m sure that I was going to see a band every other week. Of course that was when my friends/concert buddies Carly and Candace were still in town, and we would encourage each other to spend all of our money on concert tickets. It was a really fun year, even though I was constantly broke. Funny enough, the first concert that I saw last year was Cold War Kids. I’m hoping that seeing them again will help me, once again, kickstart the habit of going to shows, especially since it is one of my favorite activities. I also really need to get on that because how else am I supposed to fulfill my teenage dream of marrying a guy in a rock band? Haha!
