My parents came to Minneapolis this past weekend to visit, which basically meant three full days of nonstop eating. It was a great, fun, relaxing visit — that's the good news. The bad news is I probably won't be wearing these pants again anytime soon since they probably don't fit after the aforementioned face stuffing. Which is a major bummer, since I spent forever hunting for the perfect yellow jeans, and I've been waiting and waiting to wear them until I deemed it to be summery enough (i.e my legs wouldn't freeze because these pants are super lightweight and people wouldn't be blinded when my legs were brighter than the sun). My mom, good sport that she is, snapped these photos for me after dinner in Stillwater, this great little antiquing town in Minnesota. Dinner included several martinis, so it didn't take much convincing. In contrast, my dad stood around awkwardly facing the other direction and steadfastly pretending that he had no idea who I was. Needless to say, he's not a big fan of style blogging, especially when he gets roped into participating in it. But I can say that with absolute certainty that there's no way he's ever going to read this, so no worries about me calling him out.
