I’m bACK 😉

Took an accidental little Instagram hiatus for the better part of the last two months… 😬 But the dust is finally settling a bit and I'm getting into my new groove!

😅 But WHEW, you guys. I feel like I can’t adequately explain the last few months... Summertime is always go-go-go with an increase in plans and lack of routine, especially in Chicago because you've only got a few months to make it count! #summertimeCHI But then add in buying a condo with a six-week close, helping your boyfriend sell his, moving out of your apartment, helping your boyfriend move out of his, moving in together, combining two *opinionated* adult's things under one roof, learning to live together, organizing, planning your boyfriend's 40th birthday, figuring out your home decor, ordering new furniture, getting rid of old furniture (god bless @digswithdignity), daily trips to Home Depot, countless service appointments, trying to keep the plants alive and dog happy, all while trying to explore our new 'hood, soak up the season on our rooftop, hosting friends and family, wedding weekends, existing travel plans... I pretty much blinked and three months went by.

We made the #TripBeforeTheTrip to Midas for a total car check-up before road-tripping to Michigan this month! Midas is a one-stop-shop for everything auto maintenance, so we got our tires rotated and oil changed before hitting the road. Highly recommend for added peace of mind! Link is in my bio to request an appointment at your local Midas. 🚙 #MyMidasRoadTrip #SummerRoadTrip

🚨 Denim Trend You’re Going to Want to Try! 👖

Barrel pants, balloon jeans, this style of pant has a bunch of different names. Essentially, they’re a wider leg denim that tapers in at the ankle, creating a slightly curved silhouette. No matter the name, they're a major win from me... They're wide-leg enough to be comfy and on-trend, but they still give you a bit of a *tailored* look. And dare I say actually flattering?!

It's kind of like, "Yes, youth, we see you and we aren't totally out of touch, but (respectively) we're not going to repeat the grunge thing we did in middle school and high school."

Sound like something you can get on board with? I thought so! Full details on my blog today: www.bowsandsequins.com

Just realized I have soooo many more pictures from Miami that I never posted! 🙈 Miami was the other “calm before the storm” because the week I got back, we decided to go to a few open houses just to “get a feel for what we might want” and ended up putting in an offer on our place 🤪 Needless to say, it was a whirlwind after that! 🌪

Have you guys seen that meme where it’s like, 𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 "𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙩" 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙚 😅😅😅

Welp, finally feels like fall is here to stay so I’m just fully leaning into it 🍂🍁 It’s always way too fleeting (at least in Chicago!) so making time to soak it all up before these pretty leaves and ‘chilly’ temperatures are a thing of the past.

I’ve had these @sam_edelman sneakers for probably seven years (where does the time go?? 👵🏻) and they’re still my favorites for fall. 🤎 Linked a tonnnn of similar suede with shearling sneakers (and matching teddy coats 🧸) on my @shop.LTK page — I’m JessicaSturdy over there. (Or just go to bowsandsequins.com/instagram if you don’t use the app!)

Swipe 👈 saw this meme as I was wearing said outfit and realized 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒏 might just be my entire personality in a nutshell.

You can take the girl out of Italy, but she’s still going to spritz 🍹 (even though it turned to fall in Chicago — both literally and figuratively — while she was there 🍂🥴)
