Finally! Nautical!

I've been hoping that nautical would be chosen for Everybody Everywear for a while, since it's one of my favorite themes to turn to for style inspiration. Perhaps it's the result of dating a sailor, or living in a Navy town, or living in Florida, or living on the coast ... Maybe it's all of the above? Either way, here's some more of my nautical-inspired ensembles:

Another Nautical

necklaces - It's Eclectic, made from other necklaces / watch - Fossil / bracelets - Target (buy similar)
belt - came with Forever 21 shorts / tank - Loft (ON SALE! - buy) / Mossimo cardigan - Target
Mossimo pants - Target (buy) / Aerosoles wedges - TJ Maxx

I've had a blue and white striped tank top on my closet wish list for close to a year, now. I guess that patience pays off, because I not only finally found one, but I found one at fifty percent off of its sale price. I think nautical might end up being one of my signature styles this spring and summer, I've always been drawn to all things nautical -- I taught sailing as a camp counselor, I'm marrying a sailor ... -- and I think the style is perfectly suited to warmer temperatures.

Reserve

bracelet - JC Penney / watch - Fossil / tank - Express / cardigan - Forever 21

Salt Works jeans - TJ Maxx / Mossimo flats - Target

Just when I had resigned myself to not posting an outfit today because mother nature had taken away my natural lighting, I remembered that I had this outfit tucked away on my computer. I took it before voting ended for this month's Everybody Everywear, and as you can see, I really wanted the theme to be nautical. Maybe next time?

Pinspiration 7

I was totally satisfied with this outfit this morning, I even thought that it looked quite cute. Then I got to work and all of a sudden hated it. Has anyone else had this experience, or am I just crazy? I pinned the idea from I Heart This Blog. I think that of all the blogs I read, her style is the most similar to mine, so I often look to her for inspiration!

Dolman

bracelet - JC Penny (buy similar) / striped shirt - H&M (buy similar)

dolman sweater - American Eagle / skinny jeans - Gap (buy) / Converse One Stars - Target (buy)

A few months ago I was on a serious hunt for a red cardigan. I looked everywhere, both in stores and online, and I finally came upon one that I liked on American Eagle's website. I failed to see the word "dolman" in the sweater's item description, so when it finally arrived in the mail I was slightly disappointed. I've never been a fan of dolman tops, but me being as stubborn as I am, I decided to try to style the sweater rather than sending it back. After several attempts at styling the sweater for work, I finally decided to accept the fact that this sweater was meant to be casual, not professional, and tossed on a pair of jeans and my One Stars.

I'm still contemplating adding this sweater to my dontate/give away/sell pile. Any thoughts?
