Stroll in Chelsea

We had a sunny weekend. Still a little chilly,  but some restaurants and bars already started their sidewalk tables to celebrate the spring. And I was in the mood of being preppy and fresh.

The top was from JCrew, and it's now on sale.

Got the shorts from Crewcuts (JCrew girl's selection) a couple of years ago. At that time I was looking for a pair of preppy wool shorts, but most brands were too big in the waist and too boxy in the legs. This girl's pair worked just the way I wanted. If you wear p00 in JCrew bottoms, girl's size 10 or 12 will probably fit you just right. :)

Also threw on a trench coat to shield the spring breeze.

Finally, I love New Balance sneakers. This pair of minimalist running shoes are light weight and comfortable. I've got quite a few pairs of WR10 and WR20, in all kinds of colors. They look pretty in an everyday outfit too.

Top: JCrew Embroidered Floral Tee in sweet vanilla navy
