every body is different, but I like the high rise, fitted hip, and leg width on these. (for comparison, I have some Levi's 501s that have a lower waist and feel too casual for some 'fits, and a pair of Levi's "ribcage wide leg" that look okay but make me feel ridiculous)

7. Ground Sausage + Chipotle Powder+ Bread & Butter Pickles

I'm editing a manuscript that needs to be cut down quite a bit. it's kind of overwhelming to try to wrap my head around what needs to be done, but I've made a little spreadsheet to break it down by chapter and track my progress, and it's surprisingly encouraging to have while I work
