Sea and Southern Style - Sailboats

 Seeing sailboats on lots of things so far for spring and summer and loving it! I'm loving the sailboat tops I posted about from Old Navy. I may or may not have gotten them in both colors... They are really pretty and are a great material and look very nice for Old Navy.


I do my best at stalking nautical clothing, but if you ever see anything that is sea-inspired and nautical feel free to send it my way.  If it has a shell or sea-creature on it, I don't want to  miss it!!

 (Everything on here has sailboats on it, they are just hard to see from the pictures)

Sea It...Love It... - Forever 21

LOVE this dress from Forever 21!  I have one almost identical to the pink one that I got from there back in the winter except it has a belt around it.  I might even like this one better...

Which color is your favorite?

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait...& to Those Who Are Nice

This is kind of a long story, but it's worth it.... Last Friday, I found a dress identical to the one below (except it was black and white) in a local boutique.  I loved it the minute I saw it, the picture doesn't do it justice.  The stripes and gold buttons screamed nautical and I knew gold JRs would go great with it (like they don't go good with everything...)  It was casual, but also work-appropriate.  So I tried it on and loved it, but I kept thinking that it would be even better in navy and white, but was still sold on it anyways.

   Throughout my 20 minutes of browsing and trying on different dresses, it was just me and the owner in the store.  I had been warned by several people before I went in there and knew from previous visits, that she isn't the friendliest cat on the block so I made it a point to kill her with kindness. Well...it didn't work...and she was still not very friendly or welcoming to me.  So, even though I loved the dress, I didn't get it.  Not that she needs my support to keep her store open, but I would love to think that small businesses are grateful for the customers that walk in their doors, especially in this economy. 

Anyways, I have thought about that dress several times this week, but I refused to go back and get it.  Fast forward to yesterday afternoon.  I walked in Forever 21 and it was like the music stopped and I was the only one in the store.  Staring and glaring at me, was the IDENTICAL dress I saw at the boutique for a THIRD of the price and in NAVY AND WHITE.  Talk about meant to be...  Guess good things do come to those who wait...and to those who are nice!
