high waist jeans – The Sol Compass

The amazing pinstripe pants strike again. These so happen to combine three of my favorite pant traits into one amazing pair (high waisted, ankle, and colored), so this definitely won’t be the last time you’ll be seeing them around this corner of the interweb. While Mother Nature has certainly been flirting with warmth lately, we still have some cool days among us, not to mention chilly nights that are not at all spring like, so I just layered on this Old Navy blazer I’m certifiably obsessed with. I love how tall the combination of the vertical stripes and the long blazer makes me seem (though I guess heels that push me over six feet don’t hurt either…)

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!
