After nearly a year of being full of holes,I am finally able to wear the most beautiful jeans in the world again. I have them on right now. It's wonderful. I've also just got home from my last lecture for about four months. Yeaaah.
What's your favourite item of clothing, past or present? Or indeed, future?
