Pants: JCrew Factory.  Top: JCrew Factory. (similar here and here as well.) Bag: Kate Spade.  Hat: JCrew. Sandals: Target. Sunglasses: H&M (similar.)

A few scenes from our rather windy day at the forts in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.  I’m kind of a history nerd, so spending the day in these beautiful old buildings, staring out at the crystal blue Caribbean was kind of dreamy.

Somebody take me back…

I’m also happy to report that I finally found a pair of mint chinos with a great fit and just the right amount of stretch.  Hallelujah.  This is years in the searching…

Also, a word of advice.  Wind and panama hats do not a good mix make.  I went chasing after this fellow more than a couple times and it was rather hilarious.  Especially for everyone watching.   But it did provide great protection from the sun, so it was a worthy tradeoff.

    We went on a two week cruise about 10 years ago and our first port stop was Old San Juan. I loved it! My husband deleted all of our pics from day on accident so we have no reminders! Sad!

    I love the pants! I have a pair of jeans that color that I love to wear, but I got a stain on them. Sad day… maybe one day I can invest in a cute pair like yours.

      I always do that until I’ve worn/washing my pants at least 3-4 times. Otherwise they end up too short after I wash them. I’ve got so many hacks for making my clothes fit better. haha!
