Here on the left coast it feels as though spring has sprung...and it's sprinting in the opposite direction back east. I have too many dresses and skirts and not enough warm weather to wear them in, so I'm not going to rush out and buy the Renae dress by Guess ($101.42 - subject to change as the exchange rate fluctuates) even though I think it's one of the cutest examples of the nautical trend that I've seen to date. The red and navy stripes make a bold sailor girl statement and inspire fantasies of hanging out with the yachting crowd.
With a dress so decidedly nautical, I would go for non-nautical accessories to keep things interesting, not costumey:
Purse options
- A buttery soft brown leather bag
- A metallic tote
- A Chinese embroidered red and white silk purse
Shoe options
- Gladiator sandals
- Gold or silver ballet flats
- Cork wedges
Jewelry options
- Bangles or cuff bracelets
- Hammered gold or silver disc earrings
- Oversized hoops
