So I've been obsessed this week with all things nautical...ever since I had the epiphany to decorate my condo in a beachy theme, I've been spending hours reading coastal decor blogs and browsing beach decor retail sites. I've also made several rounds to TJ Maxx, Michaels, and Marshalls (P.S. I found two blue wooden oars at Marshalls - the last two there and I snagged them! Hooray!).
My boyfriend told me last night (while hanging my new Anthro curtains - yay), "Only you would be planning and buying your condo decorations before you've even unpacked." My response? "I have an overactive creative mind that cannot be squelched. I can't help it!" :)
With all things nautical on my mind, I've been itching to wear this cute, navy-striped top I bought a few weeks ago from Forever21.com - but I haven't really figured out what to wear with it...until today! I saw this gorgeous turquoise skirt on Forever21 and from that I was inspired to snag a few other accent pieces (hat, aviators, bag) to complete the look, complete with shoes I already own from Old Navy.
The only thing I don't have is the rope bracelet - which I found on Etsy and was sold already. :*( But... it looks simple enough to make, and I think with the help of my jewelry making savvy friend, I can put together one of my own.
I'm also thinking of tying some knotted rope around the hat...
What do you think? I hope it looks as good on me as I think it looks in this picture. I'll take pictures and post to the blog to get the real verdict from you when I actually wear it...

So cute!! I love the turquoise skirt with the stripes, I'm all about it. I'm sure that the rope bracelet would be easy enough to rig. And I love that you are decorating, pre-unpacking!
I'm loving the whole rope (sailor knot) theme..., it might not be too difficult to make a bracelet. I will attempt to do the monkey fist for a door stopper. And I am so curious about your condo!!!
I love the top with that skirt. I wouldn't have thought to pair navy and turquoise, but it looks adorable!
Super cute outfit! I love the hat

Gasp! Oh my gosh, I looooove that skirt/top combination so much! I seriously adore horizontal stripes and skirts, so the combination is almost too much to bear ;)
love your blog! found it through Lacey in the City. I'm from SC too! :) LOVE LOVE LOVE that outfit and that fact that it's from Forever21 makes me love it even more. I got a navy and white striped "dress" from there that I wear as a bathing suit coverup...and I want an anchor tattoo immediately. that last nautical bit may be a little extreme!
Oh I love that whole outfit; adorable!
