A Pictorial Recap

Hey! 

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the past few months. You can find most of them on my Instagram (@stephsimp819), with a little caption of whats what in the photo. 

So be sure to check that out! 

Boyfriend Jeans

So, I don't have a boyfriend and I haven't for some time now. Which it totally fine and great. I have 3,000,000 other things on my plate at the moment. There is no room for romance on that plate right now.

However, I do have some room for shopping on that plate. Who doesn't? 

On this past Saturday I popped into my local Forever 21 looking for jeans because I left one of my favorite pairs at home the weekend before and I didn't want to do laundry. 

Anyway, I found a pair of boyfriend jeans that I am in love with, probably more than I will ever love a man. They fit perfectly and are so comfortable and look sooo cute. They also saved me sooo much time, now I don't have to go on dates, trick a guy into liking me then borrow his jeans in order to wear "boyfriend jeans". Thank you my beautiful darling Forever 21 Jeans. We will be together forever or at least until you are thread bare.

At first, when I tired them on I wasn't sure how I felt about the wider cut of the jeans. I am a skinny jeans kinda gal. So, at first I was like "I look fat.", but then I tried them on with a few other things and I was like "Ok, they are cute even if I look a little heavier. At least I'll look a little trendy." Then I got home and put them on again because I am crazy and this is my shopping process and I was like "Ok, these are cute and so am I. I don't look heavier AT ALL. I'm crazy." Then, I wore them all day on Sunday and the Homeless Guy around the corner told me I was a "Cutie". So, needless to say I love them now. I even took a nap in them, because I just happened to fall asleep in them in the middle of the day, and I swear it was the best nap of my life.

So forget getting yourself a boyfriend and get your self a pair of Boyfriend Jeans.

Here's a super poor quality image of by beloved jeans.

131 Things I Like in No Particular Order

Hey Long time no see! 

I compiled this list weeks ago in the middle of the night when I could have been and probably should have been doing 10000 other things. I probably should be doing some of those things right now, but I am not. Procrastination at its finest. However, procrastination is really good for this blog. When I should be doing, thinking, and worrying about other things this floats to the forefront of my mind

and I am compelled to post. 

Anyway, I certainly like more than 131 things. I like most things, so I am sure that this list could go on and on. Although, I am sure that would bore you to death, and 131 has a nice symmetry to it. So at 131 I have stopped.
