Not even a little bit. Have you ever been unsure about a purchase? Did you regret it or did it work out for the best?
After the Glamour.com feature, I started thinking about different ways to wear jeans. Luckily, my fellow bloggers provide plenty of inspiration!

Nina over at Femme Rationale tagged me almost a week ago, and I'm finally getting around to taking care of biz'ness: 10 Things I Love 1.
