last weekend, when it was particularly humid and hot out, my boyfriend was obsessed with showing off his new ‘summer jeans’.  first, when heading out to dinner, he made everyone look at the stripes on the inside lining (“see, summer stripes”) and later when sitting out on the hot patio exclaiming about how cool his chambray jeans were (“these jeans are so cool.  everyone needs summer jeans.”)  by the end of the night, he’d pretty much convinced everyone at the table the need for these things, and i kinda secretly wanted my own. 

so, earlier this week, while digging through my closet, i was pretty happy to come across my very own pair of chambray sailor pants.  i’d completely forgotten about these guys! i love that they are so dramatic.  and……as much ‘summer jean’ talk i endured last weekend, i have to admit they are kinda great.

the length of these require some sort of heel that doesn’t make the legs look all short and stubby. and i’ve been waiting for so long to pull out these rachel comey sandals that i picked up a few months ago.  after much fretting, i picked these up with the gift card neiman marcus generously gave us during the tumblr fashion week extravaganza.  wise decision; i love these things.
