The Great Jean Approval Process

You know that moment when you get new jeans and need immediate validation that they don’t make you look like a stuffed sausage? That was me this afternoon.

The Great Jean Approval Process

I may have done a full runway walk from the hallway into the kitchen while Marcus was trying to make his afternoon coffee. The man knows better than to give anything less than enthusiastic approval at this point.

The over-the-shoulder confirmation shot

The over-the-shoulder “but seriously, do they look good from behind” shot was mandatory. Marcus passed the test with flying colors and an appropriately appreciative whistle.

Husband approval: achieved

Sophie wandered through during the full production and declared us “absolutely unhinged,” which I’m taking as a compliment.

The full production continues

Twenty minutes later I was still doing dramatic turns around the kitchen island because apparently I needed to milk every ounce of validation out of this moment. Marcus was a good sport about his coffee getting cold. This is why I keep him.
