Outfit Post: Sailor Style

With my love of everything pinup comes a great love for anything nautical. Red, white and navy, stripes, anchors, ropes--they all look great with my red lipstick. :)

I bought this dress on major sale, as a beach coverup for vacations ahead (TWO MORE DAYS!!!), but on this particularly steamy day, I decided to wear it, paired with bright red accessories.

Outfit details: striped tank dress-Old Navy, rope belt-vintage, bracelet-Banana Republic (old), shoes-vintage 

The picture above is a goofy one of me and my handsome photographer (who just clicks when I tell him and has no real photography experience!). He always tries to make me laugh, which helps me to relax and look a little less stilted--I think. But we rarely have pictures together, which stinks! Hoping to get some family shots this weekend while we're on our family vacation. We are heading to Berkeley Springs, WV for swimming, shopping, art galleries, hot springs, hiking, and chilling out with our family for 4 days. I cannot WAIT!

 We have some great guest posts coming your way in the next two days, which we're also very excited about! :)

See you soon! We'll be the ones with tons of pictures and hopefully a sunny, relaxed glow. (I know actual tanning is bad, but damn, I am ghosty in these pics!)

Shop Preview: Naughty Nautical

I love the classic vibe of red, navy and white together, especially when those colors are the palette for sailing/boating-inspired looks. Pastels and florals are always in for spring, but why not try a little red, white and blue? You'll look more like a pin-up girl than a petunia. ;)

Coming soon, to a vintage shop near you (virtually, anyway):

1970s Sheer navy blue sailor blouse, size L/XL

1960s wool shift dress with contrasting blazer, size Medium

1980s bowtie blouse (tie is removable!), size Large

1960s Jonathan Logan micro-mini dress with matching striped cardigan, Size Small/Medium

If anything tickles your fancy, just let us know, and we can get you more details before these babies come into the shop this week.  We've been posting new things everyday, so be sure to visit our Etsy page for some spring shopping!
