I love being near the water. It does’t matter if it’s a lake or an ocean, I could sit and sunbathe waterside all day — and be happy as a clam (as long as I have at least SPF 85)!

The other week I wrote about how I love nautical fashion — and how you can get the look. I told you that I have lots of nautical-inspired clothes in my closet, so I wanted to show you one of my sea-inspired looks! Christopher and I went to the lake this past weekend, and I wore my nautical best:

[Sperry Top-Sider Tasslefish: c/o Planetshoes.com]
[Striped top: Charlotte Russe (old)]
[Jeans: DKNY]
[Bag: H&M (old)]
[Sunglasses: SunglassWarehouse.com]
[Bracelets: Banana Republic & Handmade]

Planetshoes.com sent me these Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes, and they are SO perfect for a day at the lake! I chose the Tasslefish style because in the past, I had problems with Sperry shoes untying. The tassles on the pair I chose are CUTE — and they can’t come untied. I’d say that’s a win for nautical fashion.

I also wore a navy and white striped top that I’ve had for a couple years. I love its scoop-necked bow collar and ties at the bottom.

I carried my bucket handbag that has a white rope drawstring, and I wore a couple bangle bracelets. The gold bangle with the shell is something I pieced together. The shell charm is a vintage pendant that I added to a plain gold bangle bracelet.

We had such a fun day at the lake! The weather was perfect: sunny and near 80 degrees. We packed a lunch, hiked around, and Christopher did a little fly fishing. We rounded out the day with some ice cream. It was a taste of summer during March!
That looks like so much fun!! We must have a double date there soon
And your outfit is so nautical–and so you!
It’s a DEFINITE must!
Oh, I absolutely love nautical fashion! That top is so cute and I will definitely have to try the boat shoes with tassels because, although they are my favorite shoes, they do come untied.
I used to get sooo frustrated with mine coming untied. I love this tassel kind!
Your outfit is so cute and nautical!
And wow at the lake and scenery – I wish we had waterside places that pretty near where I live!

Those pictures of Mr. “crazy legs” Hermes sprawled out on the floor never get old. Keep them coming.
More Hermes pics coming soon!
The view is so pretty and your outfit is so cute!
Thank you! The weather was AMAZING!
Love the shoes, a really nice alternative to pumps- might have to add a pair to my collection. Lovely blog, really like your header, did you design it yourself?
Hey thanks! I didn’t design it myself (I wish I had that kind of talent! haha). It was designed by EmmaKisstina – http://www.etsy.com/shop/emmakisstina I highly recommend her!
Love your the shell charm So pretty!
