Nautical Nonsense - Navy Outfit

Sky Blue Crop Top | Thrifted

Striped Jersey Skirt | Ann Taylor
Navy Blue Blazer with Piping | Boutique in Japan
Cat Eye Sunglasses | Kate Spade

     Sorry for no update last week! The manfriend and I were both terribly sick and weather didn't permit us to get better or take photos. This weekend we didn't have better luck, but I refused to go postless this week and took these in the rain!

     I always put together outfits for my daily wear that I deem not photo worthy, but then someone compliments me at work and asks how I put together an outfit, and it makes me realize sometimes the best outfits are the most basic and comfortable. Who said basic was bad??

   The only downside to this outfit is the constant replay of the Spongebob Squarepants theme song in my head, because of the sailor inspired outfit. "If nautical nonsense be something ya wish, SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS!"

By the way, I saw this door, and was like if I ever open up my own bake shop, this is how I will greet customers while screaming "Welcome to my shop!"

Flowy Mint Shirt Dress

     I saw the weather was going to be windy, and normally I'd be very annoyed since my hair will cover my face like Samara from the Ring. But that day I spotted this old dress in the corner of my closet. Some days I feel like I have nothing to wear, and other days I feel like I'm shopping at a new store finding new pieces or finding exciting ways to rewear pieces.

     This is one of the outfits I completely forgot I had, but am in love with. But the past few years, I've been focused on work appropriate clothes since I work in a conservative corporate environment so this little mint gem completely slipped my mind!

   I'm so happy I found it again. It's a lot shorter than I remember, but I love the unique details of this dress. I've yet to encounter such a dress where I can tuck the flowy collar away to the side like a scarf piece! I really wish I could find more unique pieces without paying up the butt. Any ideas, guys?!

Floral Skater Dress + White Blazer

     The manfriend and I have been under the weather this weekend so I'm revisiting an old outfit I never posted, but is perfect for birthday celebrations (if I was well enough for them).

     I love florals. But I'll admit when I have a problem...which I did. I had so many florals at one point that I didn't have any neutrals to match! Since that realization, I've been slowly compiling neutral basics. I thought I had all the basics I needed, until one day I saw a blogger pair a floral button down with a bright white blazer. It was the basic I never knew I needed or the hero we never knew we needed (in our closet).

   Whenever I want a clean looking outfit with florals incorporated into it, I reach for this white blazer to keep the outfit simple and tailored looking! It's such an easy step upgrade for spring and summer from the basic black blazer.
