Falling For Nautical

Nautical Dress c/o || Red Scallop Bag || Sunglasses || Red Bow Flats || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o ||

Happy Monday, friends! No matter the season, my love for all things nautical never diminishes. With Autumn right around the corner, this classic navy dress from Chicwish has all the right elements to keep you nautically chic from head to toe. The knit fabric is perfect for that in-between weather with cool crisp mornings and warm sunny afternoons. The pleated skirt is simply darling and allows for the swish movement I swoon over. The gold buttons and white self-tie bowknot on the neck add to the nautical charm. The sizing runs true to size. I’m wearing a size small and found it to be very comfortable. This is one of those dresses that will be a staple piece for years to come. Classic pieces are classic for a reason. They never go out of style and can move through each decade without losing their sophistication. It’s also fantastic to wear for work or out with friends. Truly a versatile piece.

Gone With The (Lake) Wind

Blue Floral Dress c/o || Rattan Basket Bag || Sunglasses || Similar Sandals || Vineyard Vines Belt (Old) || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || 

Good morning and happy Friday! Is there anything better than relaxing time spent by the water? I think not! Being by water, whether the ocean, lake, or stream, has always given me a sense of calm. The beautiful breeze that usually accompanies the water always reminds me of the Frank Sinatra song, “Summer Wind.” The lyrics go,

“The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind”

How very perfect to describe this fabulous flowing dress from a Chicwish, which captures the very essence of summer. Along with the forever favorite combo of blue and white, the lightweight fabric and flowing skirt  make this dress a go-to for fun in the sun.

Cozy At The Cape // Mommy & Me

Sail To Sable Wheel Sweater c/o || White Skinny Jeans || Similar Kate Spade Bag || Boots || Similar Pink Hat || Sherpa Coat c/o || Ava’s Sail To Sable Sweater Dress c/o||  

Good morning, friends! As you know, mommy and me posts are my absolute favorite here on Enchanting Elegance. I get a big thrill each time I’m able to feature one. I’m particularly fond of this one because  of its nautical theme, which is very close to both my and Ava’s hearts. Come sail away with us! Both the sweater and sweater dress feature a wheel motif on a hydrangea blue background. I love being able to wear this sweater with a jacket now in winter, but I can also imagine wearing it with some jeans shorts and flats or wedges in the summer too. It’s perfect for those cool summer nights. This is how you do nautical year round! Both fit true to size. I’m wearing an XS and Ava is in a size 4.

Stripes, Stripes, And More Stripes

Similar Striped Top || Striped Skirt || Similar Striped Wedges || Similar Sun Hat || Circle Bag || Hoop Earrings || 

Good morning, friends! I love the Americana nautical feel this outfit has. Maybe even a little dash of Parisian style too! It’s all of the stripes, haha. I’ve been wearing red, white, and blue quite a bit lately. Blame it on the 4th of July, but they’re also a truly classic Summer combo of colors. Stripes will always be one of my favorite prints to wear. They’re a go-to in my wardrobe. I tend to favor a small or medium size stripes and stay away from large or bold ones, though I do have one large stripe top. This is definitely a look to keep in mind when thinking of the summer holidays as well including Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day.
