Flannel shirt. Check. Ripped jeans. Check. And you guys, I totally married Jordan Catalano. Or Dillon (90210). I don’t know for sure, but I bet he’d prefer Catalano. I officially can’t wait for Fall.

It really does feel like we’ve been through some sort of battle and now it’s a weird white post-snowpacalytpo world out there. Of course the real question is, “But what will I wear?!” Before I get to that, it has been announced that tomorrow is ANOTHER office jeans day. With the assumption they are doing [...]
