Hello.

After a week of cold and rainy days I was happy to return to some warmer weather today. This spring the weather has been keeping me on my toes, some days it's hot enough for a short sleeve tee and shorts, other days it's cold enough for a sweater and boots!

#1 to #3 - Trying Something New
When the weather gets too warm for jeans, I often reach for shorts. Last year I tried linen wide leg pants as an alternative and while they were comfortable, the linen seemed too beachy for my WFH lifestyle and elevated casual personal style.

This season I decided to try these JCrew chino's in stone as a non jeans, non shorts alternative. 

For their first outing I paired the chino's with a moss green graphic Life is Good tee and white Ecco sneakers. My JW Pei tote from last year's NAS pairs well with the reversible Tory Burch belt on the cognac side. 

#4 to #6 - What I Bought
While running errands I stepped into a Rack Room Shoes, not a store I visit often and stumbled upon these cognac Ayden Slide Sandals by Michael by Michael Shannon which perfectly matches my tote and belt.

My machy-matchy gene couldn't resist taking the sandals home. I think they work really well with the belt, bag, and chinos.

Thanks for looking!
