Coastal Chic at the Beach in the Fall
I really liked all of the clothes and outfits I created for our beach trip (see my beach outfit recap post here) but thought that my Target linen pants deserved a post of their own. I originally picked these in white this summer but they were see through so I exchanged them for tan. I am so glad I did since I have many white pants but not tan ones. I wore these as a cover up (first 3 pictures) and then as an outfit.
Tan Pants as a Cover Up
I typically do not like to walk around in just my bathing so a pair of pull on wide leg pants is a perfect light weight option. I am very glad I upgraded two new bathing suits this fall before my 20th anniversary trip to Costa Rica: off season is a great time to find some new ones for less.
I think I picked the cover up at Target too but this was the first time I used it. I got a little sunburned one day so I wore this the rest of the afternoon.
I was ready to go home at the end of our week but now looking at those pictures I am ready to go back! Maybe my husband and I will come back for our anniversary trip next year. I am probably going to try to plan something closer to home though since it takes a good half a day to get here.
A Look for Everyday
I’ve been trying to make sure that my buys are good ones this year and these pants have been worn quite a lot. I may need to get them hemmed (or hem them myself) as they are long are the bottoms are getting rough.
My best friend Veronique who also created my blog logo and header made this cardigan for me 3 years ago. I miss her but thankfully we text weekly usually.
That’s it: my last beach related blog post! I guess I need to plan some fun outings for some more blog content?

I just LOVE a good pair of tan wide leg linen pants for summer. They are so versatile and keep me nice and cool too.

They were a great buy and so much better than the white ones.

That place looks utterly divine! What a wonderful location for a special holiday together. Needless to say, I love your beach cover up. I always prefer to cover up myself too, I’m not so keen walking about in just my swimsuit.
Big hugs

Thanks, Suzy! That water is just beautiful! It definitely is not the same on the Atlantic side here.

I love the tan pants as an option. Those are a perfect swimsuit coverup option and yet you can wear them so many other ways.

Thanks, Sally!

That is such a great idea for a cover up. I have a black jersey maxi skirt that I use.

I will be wearing it again for the same purpose.

Mireille, these photos are all magazine worthy! You are simply stunning in every one! I love the cardigan your friend made! It’s perfect with these pants. Do you like raw edges? I think that’s what I would do with these pants unless you think that would make them too casual. Anyway, thanks so much for always sharing these fabulous vacations with us!

Thank you Marsha! I didn’t think of leaving the pants with a raw edge: I like that idea!
