As summer quickly making her exit, I decided to create my own rendition of a nautical look.

 When creating this nautical look, I knew it was important to keep it simple. Choosing one item to be my nautical statement piece was all I needed. (If you choose too many pieces, you'll lose your focal point and your attempt may result in you looking like you're wearing a costume.) 

To achieve this look, I used a striped navy blue and white sweater vest over a white sleeveless shirt, paired with an orange pant.

 The traditional nautical colors used by many are red, white, and blue. However, when following trends, I like placing my own twist on things. Making them not so traditional. 

Once I achieved my looked, the last step was choosing the right accessories to add the element of sophistication.

I selected a statement piece necklace and I stole the bag from my boyfriend. Well.. let's just say borrowed it and never gave it back. (Not an unfamiliar story.) However, the style and color of the bag complimented my attire! To complete my look, I applied a gorgeous red lip.

Thanks for reading! TGIF!
