J. Crew chino shorts: turquoise and pink

I wore this outfit to visit with my pal Wendy and discuss life and our upcoming year in small group. 

I didn't do this on purpose but realized later in the day that my shirt and fingernails matched and shorts and toenails matched. On my fingernails: essie madison ave-hue; on my toenails: essie in the cab-ana.

a week in J. Crew chino shorts

I'll be starting a new mini blog series tomorrow, showing some ways I have worn my J. Crew chino shorts during a typical summer week. I have worn some of these pairs to death for 5+ years, and others I just bought during a recent sale. Almost all were purchased on sale and some even altered over the years. They have held up well and continue to be my summer go-to. In the meantime, check out ways I have previously worn my J. Crew chino shorts here and here and other styles of J. Crew shorts here, here, and here.

I never, ever get tired of blue and white stripes.  I have had some version of these shorts for as long as I can remember, maybe even including some striped short overalls.  I was raised to believe that topsiders are always appropriate with summer shorts, and I sport the same pair I've had since high school.
