Nautical Inspired Outfits

-
The thing I love most about blogging is that it inspires me to not only embrace my own style, but it encourages me to try out other trends.  Nautical inspired outfits are a classic, but have never particularly appealed to me.  In recent times though, I have been drawn to anchor motifs and other fun nautical inspired clothing and accessories.  

I thought it would be fun to put together two new outfits from my wardrobe!  Both outfits include my red and white skirt from 10+ years ago.  This skirt is one of my faves and has appeared on the blog several times!  I think it is perfect for a nautical inspired outfit, although at this time of the year it looks more like a Christmassy/ candy cane inspired skirt!  Either way is fine by me! ;) In the first outfit, I paired a top with a print that has triangles on it, but to me they resemble little boats!  

For the second outfit, I wore a graphic tee with an anchor on it.  Of course it was only natural that I would also wear my anchor earrings with both outfits!  I really love the colour combo of red, white and blue and have lots of accessories in each colour, so accessorising was easy and lots of fun!  


Outfit 1:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Big W
Shoes: H&M
Ring: Diva
Bag: Banned Apparel

Earrings (worn in both outfits): Tattooed Zombie




Outfit 2:
Top: H&M
Skirt: Big W
Shoes: Cherries Chocolaticas by HCD
Ring & Bracelet: Diva
Bag: Handbag Republic



Which outfit do you prefer?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!

    Both outfits look like you had fun putting them together. Skirts like this one can be described as "an oldie & a goodie". It looks good with both tops. I love both bags as well but the cherry shoes look good enough to eat��. Flossie xxx

    They are both such lovely outfits! I really like how you knotted the tee in the second outfit, but I like them both! Fun outfits inspired by your pretty earrings :)

    Hope that you are having a nice week so far! We took the kids out to a special snow event yesterday, it was a lot of fun, but so strange with the summer heat and humidity here in Brisbane, haha! :)

      Thanks so much, Mica! This was my first time to knot a tee, but I liked it! ;) That snow event sounds fun! It would've been strange though, especially with how hot it's been! Hope you're having a great week, Mica! XXX

    I love nautical inspired outfits, and have some lovely boat and seagull print dresses, not to mention several nautical brooches! Nautical style always shouts high Summer to me! I love both of your outfit choices, and indeed the triangles on that top could easily be sailing boats! The pattern of your red and white skirt are reminiscent of waves! The anchor earrings are especially cute! It's nice to play with the items of your closet, isn't it? xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! I remember seeing you in at least one of those dresses and some of your brooches too! It's so fun playing around with clothes and accessories, isn't it? ;) Hope you're having a good week so far, Ann! XXX

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Burgundy & Beads!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
