Losing My Religion

I’ve always been pretty selfish about the way I live my life. And once something is important to me I’ll move heaven and earth to make it happen.

Skinny Jeans

This morning I tried on my pre-preggie Diesel skinny jeans (second attempt post baby, first one was on NYE) and guess what? They didn’t fit.
