Socks with sandals?

Maybe it's because i'm from the land where you can experience multiple seasons in one day. Or maybe it's because my indecisive ways leak into my wardrobe. Whatever the reason, I love layers.

My favorites from this collection are

The whole line is available for viewing (and purchase!) online at jcrew.com.
