Nasa t-shirt // Anine Bing pants (similar here) // Janessa Leone hat // Calvin Klein boots (under $100 here)

Jeans and a t-shirt.  A winning combination.  While this is likely the world’s most trusted ensemble, sometimes it’s nice to change it up.

If anyone is a denim hoarder, it’s me.  I’ve talked many times before about my denim addiction – at one point I had upwards of 60 pairs (eeek!). As I was staring into my closet last weekend trying to choose from a plethora of denim options, I finally threw up my hands and said “forget it”.  I needed something different.  Kind of the same.  But different.

Enter these houndstooth pants.  They sat in my closet for way too long awaiting a trip to the tailor, but once they finally got hemmed they became a great alternative to jeans.  While I love dresses, I’m just not a dress girl.  I reserve them for cocktail parties and more special occasions.  Day-to-day, I’m wearing pants.

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m wearing more 100% cotton denim these days, but having a comfy, stylish alternative to jeans seems more important than ever.  I recently gave these pants a try, and have been loving how comfortable and unexpected they are.

To style this look similar to my trusty uniform (gotta keep it practical for everyday) I opted for a long sleeve graphic tee.  It’s perfect for those chilly spring mornings that warm up by the afternoon.  To throw in a bit of edge, I added steel toed boots (check here for an under $100 version) and a black fedora.  I love that the finished product is like version 2.0 of my classic ensemble.

And of course, you can’t forget the iced oat milk latte.
