As the weather warms and the highlights begin to appear in my hair (thank goodness), my love of nautical nonsense is growing. Energized by my experiment yesterday, I decided to post a few other nautical outfits I have stashed away in my closet!
1. Talbots does nautical: white jeans and a navy striped top; navy blazer optional:
Talbots Sequin Stripe Tee, Talbots Slimming Colored Jeans in White, Talbots peep-toe sling-back espadrilles (summer 2012, similar here)
I didn’t realize until I posted that photo that every piece I’m wearing comes from Talbots, but it is one of the best stores to find classic preppy staples. Once again, I apologize for the poor quality of the photo.
And in this shot: a well-cut blazer and poor camerawork!
2. Prime colors play well together
I wore the following outfit on the first warm day of the season, and it was wonderful. I rolled the windows down and drove with one of my closest friends to our nearest yogurt shop. I was happily delirious from the combination of sunshine and sugar!
The dress is Calvin Klein – no longer available, Forever 21 bag, Express flats
I also added an over-sized white blazer with rolled up sleeves for some extra warmth since it was breezy outside.
The white blazer is from Talbots- summer 2012
From another angle
The white blazer and dress are no longer available- so here are a few similar pieces:
