Wide leg vs. Bootcut. Do either of these work?

I’m having such a hard time buying jeans 😭 I need more polished casual looks, so I’ve been looking for a pair of wide leg jeans to wear with low-profile sneakers and flats, and a pair of bootcut jeans to wear with booties. Low and midrise pants generally look better on me. I’ve looked at so many and I tried these at the store today and ended up buying them. The bootcut was labeled mid-rise, and the wide leg was labeled mid-rise though it feels high rise to me. It might be that I’m overthinking it and that I haven’t really pulled the trigger to buy anything in a while bc of how much good quality things cost so if I’m buying anything I want it to perfect, but now I’m not sure about them. The wide leg feels a bit stiff instead of flowy, and I’m not sure if the bootcut is supposed to have lines like that. I’d appreciate any advice.

Tenant owes over 3 months in rent, serving N4 asap, what else should I do?

Hello,

Our tenant owes over 3 months of rent for a house I own, which is managed by my property agent and power of attorney. The tenant repeatedly cited illness and hospitalization when asked and promised they'd pay but that never happened. They made partial payments for two months, and missed two additional full months of rent. I take responsibility for my ignorance and not following the right protocol and giving them an N4 sooner. While we were trying to give them the benefit of the doubt due to them reportedly experiencing a hard time, I am going to serve them the N4 notice to end tenancy early due to nonpayment of rent asap. Is there anything else I should know going forward? I really need some advice. Thank you in advance.

Shawnee National Forest weekend trip

Hi all, my husband and I recently moved to Chicago and we’re planning a car camping trip to Shawnee National Forest after reading good reviews. Our plan is to take Friday off of work to drive there early in the morning and head back Sunday afternoon. Since it is a 5.5 hour drive each way, and the campsites are first come first serve, wondering if it is doable/worth the trip? should we take extra days off? or go camping elsewhere with a shorter drive? Thank you for your advice in advance.

How to reduce mental energy figuring out what to wear?

I’m curious how you streamline the process of getting dressed and putting outfits together day to day. I like fashion and want to look put-together, but I feel like I spend a ton of mental energy every time I get dressed, energy that could go towards pursuing my goals instead.

Wondering if you have any strategies that has made getting dressed feel more automatic and effortless for you while still feeling stylish? TIA!

Studded Ballet Flats

Hello fellow SDs. What do we think of studded ballet flats? Particularly elongated or square toed ones. Too fussy or SD-friendly?
