As much as I’d like to pretend, I’ve never been that “jeans and t-shirt” kind of girl.  Blame the fashion lover in me or blame the 1,000 degree Louisiana summers accompanied by school uniform falls and springs that I grew up with, but I just never fell into that cool girl category.  Fast forward a few years (and a few states), and jeans are a pretty regular staple for me.  Even in the summers in Southern California, the hottest of days will inevitably be followed by a chilly and sometimes windy night by the beach.  It takes a few outfit changes a day. (Something Eric finds ridiculous, but he’s a boy.  He doesn’t understand.  “Get a jacket,” he says.  A jacket doesn’t go with this outfit.  But anyway…)  I bought these chambray jeans a few years ago (a total steal at Marshall’s), and they’ve been a favorite ever since.  They’re lightweight enough for warm days and easily pair with an oversized sweater for evenings.  And recently, I totally broke my “cheap girl” rule and got one of those expensive tanks or tees that everyone talks about.  (Mine above is Current/Elliott.)  A luxury, yes, but ya’ll – I’m obsessed.  It’s super soft and slightly sheer, but not annoyingly so, ya know?  Maybe that’s me.  Paired with my favorite jeans, I’m in love, and (whaaaat?!) I may just be that jeans and tee girl after all.
