Fashion Quick Tip: Go Nautical!!


I picked up this little number because it encompasses two of my favorite looks this summer; rompers & items with a nautical flair! I scored this on sale ($29.99 in store - $39.99 online) from Urban Outfitters, and it is probably one of my favorite purchases of the summer. To up the ante a little bit, I followed my own advice [given here], and decided to go with an accent color in lieu of navy blue or white shoes. I chose yellow as my accent color to make the outfit pop a little more. To add more cohesion, I chose a yellow polish, coupled with a yellow clutch.

Other Accent Colors To Try:
Red
Gold
Brown

Zara
H&M

  1. Love it! You took a nautical romper (which otherwise could look a bit young and casual) and created a fly look with the pop of color and cute accessories.

  9. i'm gonna be so real with you: i work at urban seasonally when i'm not out of state at school and i always look at that romper and think "this would be so cute on the right person" and yet, no one ever buys it. ever. or they do, and then return it the next day disappointed.

    you my dear, wear it well. kudos.
