It's been a while since we've been in contact, but I haven't forgotten you. No, you cross my mind more often than you know. I've missed you every single day that we've been apart.

I know, the styles are a-changing... the slim-leg jean is at the peak of fashion right now, and I hear the high-rise waist will soon take its place. But you have nothing to worry about. Why? It doesn't matter to me. Styles come and styles go, but we have something special. Besides, what's a great jean for, really, if not to make you feel brand new? And wearing you again, my favorite 29-waist Citizens of Humanity Kelly bootcut jean, would feel better than...

Better than eating that piece of pumpkin pie... Better than sneaking an extra dollop of gravy... Yes, even better than Grandma's homemade rolls with real butter... Better than the best Thanksgiving meal any of us has ever clamped teeth on.

I have plans for us to reunite soon, my little denim muse. And I'll be moving you up to the front of the closet as a reminder to keep my resolve strong. For, in 12 short weeks, we'll be together again. And this time, I hope it's forever.

XOXO,

Julie
