Stripes if by Sea

I am definitely happiest when outside, and more specifically by the sea.  When my sister and I went down to the ocean I instantly morphed into a more playful and giggly person (which may not have been ideal for the picture taking, but alas).  My seaside uniform usually involves navy, stripes, and boat shoes.  They are the epitome of nautical style, but the pink jeans add a more spring vibe to the look than a traditional red or white might allow.  Plus, these are the prettiest and most comfortable pants ever.  I think I would try to wear them every day all spring long if, you know, people wouldn’t notice…

Pinstripe Play Date

I hope you all had a lovely Easter Weekend!  I had such a wonderful weekend with my brother, sister, and I all together under the same roof we grew up in.  It’s always nice to have the three of us together, and holidays in particular take me back down memory lane to when we were all young and playful.  Nowadays, our sibling “playdates” entail hours at Target and Chipotle trips rather than playgrounds, but we made a quick exception on Saturday for the perfect background for this playful spring outfit!

When I saw these pants at LOFT, I knew I had to have them.  They reminded me of a candy peddler in the 1900s Atlantic City BoardWalk (more accurately, since I wasn’t alive then, Disney’s BoardWalk Hotel).  They’re playful, whimsical, and elegant all at the same time.  They add a classy retro touch to a fun chambray and playful boat shoes, and are absolutely perfect to wear throughout spring!
