Nautical Style

“Fashion has to reflect who you are, what you feel at the moment, where you are going.”

I don’t wear a lot of outfits that have stripes, but I was feeling a little nautical today (and actually I have found that I really like it and I am probably going to do it more)…

I had this great skirt (found it in the back of my closet from a couple of years ago), so I thought it would be fun to pull it out again. I do love finding things that I have forgotten I had – especially when they are cute!

In keeping with the Nautical look I added a cute white fitted T-shirt with lace detail. Because I am not a rule follower, I wanted to add a pair of shoes that didn’t “match” the outfit. These great Teal shoes I think accent the whole outfit.

Nautical style (or just navy and white stripes) is a great fresh look and can be worn in so many ways. I love striped tops, especially when you pair them with plain white or navy pants or skirt. It is a great look and something that is easy to replicate. I would offer a word of caution that if you are wearing stripes, make sure that if you are wearing something fitted, don’t wear horizontal stripes because they will tend to accentuate any bulges or bumps or just generally make you look “wider” than perhaps you actually are.

Go ahead, get your Nautical vibe going and give it a try!
