Happy Friday, friends! I’m wrapping up a trip to LA visiting my dear grandparents and soaking up the beautiful weather. I recently picked out some new arrivals c/o Ann Taylor for an Instagram project and wanted to highlight a few finds I loved! They’re having a pants promo today with $30 off pants and jeans with code PANTS30.

Striped Henley Sweater

This was an immediate favorite that earned a limited spot in my carry on suitcase for the week in LA. No surprise, as it’s reminiscent of my popular Sezane Leontine sweater but in a lighter weight knit. The Sezane sweater is a solid, timeless choice you can’t go wrong with and is made of a medium weight organic cotton. The AT version is made of regular cotton in a slightly looser “mesh stitch” style knit.

I can see myself reaching for this into warmer weather as a summer / beach sweater thrown on over shorts or linen pants. And here’s how it looks paired with a looser relaxed pant versus cream ankle jeans:

A note on these camel wide leg trousers – they are the closest option I’ve found this year to a beautiful pair of drapey light brown dress pants I had years ago. I found the waist to run big on these, though, so need to use my little hack shared last week. The overall cut is also on the looser relaxed side, but they do create flattering long lines. Also, I prefer how they look without the sash tie belt – the look feels cleaner with either nothing, or just a waist belt.

Cream Trouser Jeans

Highly recommend these if you’re looking to diversify your denim collection. I love the color and the cut is SO flattering and different from my closet full of straight and old skinny jeans. They work well with a range of tops including cropped jacket and fitted sweaters…
