Lifestyle: Trend Report - Nautical Inspired (2 of 2)

Posted by: L

Ok, sorry Readers! I know this post is a day late but I was...um... busy(?) yesterday. Yea, I have no excuse: I was loafing and doing arts and crafts!! AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Thank you for your e-mail reminders! : )

But, ahem, onto the fashion post for today. What did you all think of the nautical accessories?? Are you going to try them??

For those of you ready to take it to the next step, I am going to present you with some options that I love. Let me know what you think!

kate spade miriam striped dress, $375.00

Jovonna Ann-Marie Sailor Jumper, $90.00 (available via TopShop)

Forever 21 One Shoulder Striped Dress, $26.00

St. John Yellow Label Two-Tone Striped Sweater & Zip Capris, $595.00, $395.00

Gap Sailor Trousers, $49.99 (heather gray) and $39.50 (dark indigo, pictured) (was $59.50)

bebe Naughty Nautical High-Waisted Short, $69.00

J.Crew Stripe asymmetrical chiffon bow pullover, $88.00

Thomas Pink Women's Nautical Cardigan, $69.00 (was $195.00)

Of course, a number of these options are a little higher end, and may be too much to spend on a trend that you might be "iffy" about. Be sure to look at retailers like Forever 21 to take a couple pieces out for a test drive. I know the Rodarte collection at TarJay has a blue and white striped shirt (with a boatneck!) that you can try for $16.99. And, you might be thinking, "Ugh. I cannot do horizontal stripes!" So, keep it simple with a basic navy top (available everywhere), white pants (or capris, or a skirt!), and a red patent wedge. Match it with an anchor necklace from yesterday's post and there you go! Oohh, so cute!

Ay ay mates!
