Just a Number?

Today is both a happy day and a sad one...
Happy, because I bought a pair of amazingly comfortable & cute Seven jeans on *clearance.*
Yes I paid $70 for a pair of $176 jeans. Amazing, right? (Forget the part that I have way too many pairs of jeans & vowed to not spend any more money on things I don't need.)
So, with all of this happiness, what you might ask, is the sad part? The sad part, I'll tell you, is that I normally would not have even tried these jeans on, had it not been for the incredible bargain, because they are not my size. They are, sadly, a size larger than the size I normally wear. Now, I know that different brands run differently, and for the most part sizes are sort of arbitrary.. I completely agree. Except that lately (and by lately I mean the past couple months) my jeans have been getting tight. To the point where the one percent stretch is having to really earn its keep.
I am currently wearing the aforementioned evil sized jeans, and holy goodness... these babies are comfortable! And they are still fitted/ look really cute... so we are just going to pretend that today was not the day that I went up a size..
Just a day where I got a cute pair of jeans...

Saw one of my favorite people...

And picked up this hat, which i happen to find ridiculously adorable, and far too cool for me. Maybe it's the fact that it semi-covers my horrific roots (hello highlights, remember how we used to be friends?), but this hat is really making me smile.
