NAUTICAL BRIGHTS

17 August 2013

(Top, Cotton On. Skirt, TradeMe (Originally from Supre). Shoes, Wild Pair. Necklace, Gifted (Originally from Etsy.com). Headband, ASOS. Belt, Cotton On.)

It's been a while since I've done a good old outfit of the day(/a few days ago) post, and this one was too fun and bright not to share. I got this top for a ridiculous $2 (yes, TWO DOLLARS) from Cotton On, and I just knew I had to pair it with my red boat shoes that I should really wear more often. After adding the skirt into the mix (I'm quite a fan of the stripes and skirt combo at the moment), the whole nautical feel really took shape, and the accessories were just the icing on the cake. I received this handmade bottle necklace from my brother as a birthday present (how cool is that little origami boat!), and the cute mini anchor headband has been sitting in my accessory drawer for years (literally), so it was nice for it to see the light of day.

And I think that just about covers it..! I love a good parentheses-packed blog post :)
