I made an error in purchasing my perfect pair of jeans. My friend who used to work at Leviās recommends buying a size too small and I was cursed constantly with too baggy jeans because of not doing this. But I sized down too much with a very sturdy denim and they were just so uncomfortable. I persevered for a while, hoping theyād stretch more and refusing to take the loss. But last week I just fucking bought the size up and now I can wear them and love them and not feel sad and annoyed at myself every time! The moral of this story is to buy clothes that fit you, and to not continue to wear something that makes your crotch feel like itās about to split in half. Take the loss, it will feel better.

Iāve been avoiding buying new jeans mainly because of money and my body ever changing postpartum. I also have no idea what my size actually is because womenās clothing sizes are insane and make no sense and it seemed like too much work. It dawned on me though that I will not in fact be fitting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans before autumn hits like I was able to first time around (Iām not rushing the process either, btw). So, I went to Depop and bought two pairs of different sizes and hoped for the best.
I just received one pair and the gods have blessed me. I feel like an actual woman instead of a nugget and the best part is I donāt have to hem them!!! Never in my life would I have sought out a pair of high-rise flare Hollister jeans but it turns out they are exactly what I needed š
Spending the money to find clothes that actually fit you and make you feel good is worth it every time, a lesson Iāll learn over and over and over and overā¦.

I just replaced my jeans for the first time in years, bought straight legged ones and the waist is slightly too big. Not so big they're unwearbable but just loose enough. But I'm loving it because for the first time I don't feel suffocated. Plus, I can't wait to eat rich food and not feel uncomfortable.

I bought second hand Madewell and Banana Republic baggy jeans from Thredup that were too big in the waist but the right amount of baggy in the hips/butt/thighs then took in the waist myself (amateurly). You could also get them professionally tailored. I also always buy 98-100% cotton so they donāt get stretched out after a year. Sometimes I will hand sew an alteration in but fold and not cut the extra fabric that way if I gain weight I can just take the stitches back out!

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had āMySpace friendsā or ātumblr friendsā. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ā¤ļø
