Even though the nautical trend seems to come back every summer I’ve never quite jumped aboard the preppy “ahoy there” look…for me, fashion inspired by the open water means a flannel lumberjack shirt, cutoffs & sneakers worn whilst fishing with grandpa in the old trout boat

love the white and red stripe, Sheri;)
Thanks my lovely Nout…however I think you rock the nautical look soooo much better than I do! 🙂
Aw you say that but I really liked your outfit. But alas, you’re much more of a boho-chic-lady than a nautical nymph.
I saw your comment above to Alex about the yellow jeans (which look awesome with the red striped top) and you never cease to amaze me!
Thanks Erika – yer makin’ blush again 😉
*always remember: if you spy something ya just gotta have for your wardrobe it’s always better to thrift something similar & refashion it into a unique piece that’s exactly what you want than to waste money buying it new & supporting the growing phenomenon of cheap, mass produced “fast fashion”.
Ah yes, the stripes are so classic and perfect paired with the jeans!!
yerp…Nautical (& prison costumes) seem to always involve horizontal stripes – an oh-so-boring pattern I loathe to wear, it’s so unflattering on me, blerg! 😉
NOOO! It looks lovely on you 🙂
Funky yellow pants! Love it!
Cheers Megan…if I had to wear a nautical theme it needed to at least be bold & bright 😀
Ahoy! Hahaha I love your nautical look – the pea coat and wedges are perfect!! Although, I think your plaid fishing look sounds pretty cool, too! 😉
Thanks, that pea coat was a steal I got years ago in London… (This look had me stumped for a bit, I’m waaaay more comfortable in my quirky gear than any preppy look)
Haha it is kinda hard to imagine you going “full preppy,” but I definitely think you made this look work for you!!
Love how you mixed the khakis in!
Thanks Alex 😀 *the pants are actually a pair of thrifted kids jeans that I bleached the hell out of and then dyed a lurvly “corn yellow” 😉
Thanks for the warm welcome! I love your red striped top – and I’m quite jealous you could take your nautical pictures by actual water!!
Thanks Beth & welcome aboard! *Ach…Don’t be jealous of that water at all, that’s the Spree river behind me & as it runs through the big dirty city of Berlin there’s a definite Eau de Ew wafting off of it 😉
