Style Sunday: Nautical

So this week I've been really slacking on the blog posts. I feel like I've started about five new ones and have been too ADD to finish any of them. Overall this week was crazy busy. I've been trying to soak up as much family and lake time as possible before I move to Kentucky in just a few short weeks, go to my little cousin's recital and help out with my sisters graduation party. 

This weeks Style Sunday is an outfit that I wore to my cousin's dance recital. My all time favorite look is literally anything nautical. If its red, white and blue, has an anchor or sailboat on it chances are I'm obsessed. So this weeks style Sunday encompasses the nautical look as well as mixing patterns.
 


Tee- JCrew Factory
Cardigan- Tommy Hilfiger
Skirt- Express
Belt- The Limited
Necklace- The Limited
Shoes- Nickles

I combined my recently purchased J Crew anchor T Shirt with a red skirt and striped cardigan accessorized with gold accents. This look could be worn with or without the cardigan. Which was perfect for the recital when it was freezing inside and blazing hot outside. Another part of this outfit that I love is the mixing of patterns. This can be a tricky thing to execute. I feel that it worked in this outfit because the patters were from the same color scheme and the T Shirt was such a small pattern versus the bold stripes of the cardigan. 

What is your favorite nautical look?

Style Sunday: White Jeans

White jeans, every girl has them, they are a classic summer wardrobe staple. Many struggle with finding the perfect pair that you can't see literally everything underneath. I personally always buy my white jeans from The Limited (order here). They are the perfect thickness without being bulky.  But because of their thickness I always go up a size in them. I recommend to go up a size in all white jeans, no mater the brand. This helps with the see through aspect and overall makes the jeans lay flatter. For this outfit I paired my white jeans with a green and white sleeveless top, a pink blazer, wedges and some of my favorite bangles. This look completely screams summer! 

Blazer: The Limited
Top: Banana Republic
Jeans: The Limited
Wedges: Guess
Bangle: Lilly Pulitzer
Bangle: The Limited (x2)


How do you wear your white jeans?
