Texture

 

I know what your thinking…

Felicia are you serious it’s August you haven’t blogged at all since Christmas and now you come back with this!

Actually I am pretty sure that no one will probably read this other than myself and I am surprisingly quite content with that. Life has been up down and all over the place the past eight months. A few things had to give but I am now ready to come back to this place with my thoughts and I think I know myself a little better than before.

There is a funny story behind this fabric. A kind lady in my ward graciously passes clothes down to me after she regularly cleans out her closet to make room for her new pieces. She is an avid shopper and only has so much closet space and I am happy to help out where ever I can! Well she gave me this lovely pair of denim jeans but they were a little loose and extremely to long. So I did what any girl on a tight budget would do. I cut them up pinned them to fit just right while they were still on my body and couldn't get them off! Brandon eventually came in due to my screams and tears and saved the day. He  really is amazingly talented…Back to the jeans, I sewed them up into a really fun new custom pair of my first ever skinny jeans. I wore them a few times and really loved them until we started hitting the century mark for days on end. Then I cut them off at the knee and let them fray a bit and they are easily my new favorite go to shorts. I can dress them up or down and they fit just right. I wore them out today with my family and couldn’t help but think of all we have been through. It made me smile. I love the texture and color. It’s the simple things in life that can make you happy Felicia and I hope you slow down and enjoy them.

P.S. You look pretty hot in them too! ;)
