D.C.’s spring always teases me with a few tantalizingly warm, almost summery days. On those days, I always fill my cart with fun sandals.

Here’s a cute pair from Draper James. These easy-to-wear slides have a tiny wedge. The braided vamp makes me feel almost nautical (although I’m not sure if these would be great on an actual boat).

I love the pictured blue denim ones for their versatility, but the yellow checks are picnic-ready.

These sandals are $95 at Zappos and available in sizes 6–10.
