shoes | Home Is Where The Haggis Is

Hooray! The sun is shining and it finally feels like spring outside which gets me thinking about bringing out my warm weather clothes.

I am known among some to ask the same question each fall and each spring over a glass of wine or maybe a mimosa if it’s brunch, “What are five clothing items that you want to buy this season?” It’s fun to hear the responses. It makes me update my list with items I may have overlooked.

Here are my five items that I want so far this spring:

One- White jeans

I know they are impractical, especially since my days are mostly filled with chasing after my three and five-year old, but I don’t care. They look great with a tan in summer.

I blame my mom for this one. She loves this look as well. In fact, when she shops for my girls each spring she always gets them a white pair of capris, shorts or cute sundress. Not that might be a tad bit more impractical, but hey, we love what we love.

Two- D ‘Orsay flats

These remind me of Audrey Hepburn.

They look classy without trying too hard. I can imagine wearing them with boyfriend jeans or a floral skirt paired with a crisp, white shirt.

Three- Canvas sneakers

I already found these last month at Old Navy in a slew of colors. I picked poppy to add some color to my neutral outfits (or white jeans!), but I might have to go back for the navy and mint green. For around $20, the price is right.

Four- Toms

I must be on a canvas kick. These shoes look so comfortable for the mom-on-the-go, a frequent traveler who needs to slip them on and off quickly or bumming around on the weekend to run errands.
