Cheers to my first summer in NYC!

I didn’t have time to make a typical post this weekend, but I still want to share a couple of my favorite moments from my first summer in NYC!

I found them in the Men’s section, on sale for $25! So either wait for the next sale, or you can find them here for $39.90.

They are navy blue, size 30 X 34 and I love the fit.

Note: I like to wear my jeans tapered, but not too tight. I also love to wear my jeans rolled up, so I try to buy them a little longer.
