Connecticut Tragedy

I was planning on shooting an outfit post last Friday, but as you all know, we were shocked with the news coming from a quiet town in Connecticut. It had been the target for an elementary school shooting and many lives were lost, including those of innocent young children. As someone who works with children, I could not wrap my head around this tragic event. Needless to say, I was not in much of a fun, outfit post kind of mood, so you won’t see any this week.

Ever since I heard the news, it has been hard to get it out of my head. I pray for not only the parents who had to say goodbye to what matters most in their world, their children, but also to those that survived. They will never be the same, and their innocence has been needlessly robbed. May they all find some peace in all this madness.

What I Wore: Casual Edge

Over the weekend, I tweeted that I wanted the world to know how much I loved my pair of James Jeans, and several days later, I have refused to take them off. I think they are just the best thing since sliced bread. I know what you may think. Any pair of jeans labeled as super skinny are surely not going to flatter anyone unless those two words also describe their body type. Guess what? My pair of Twiggy Super Skinnies do not only flatter my curvy frame by making me look longer and leaner, but also are beyond comfortable. I’m pretty sure we may be packing our bags and running away with each other in the very near future. Sorry, husband.
