Nautical Navy Skirt and Inspired by the Beach.

Happy Monday you all. I am back from our Beach Vacation off of the Adriatic, in Golem Beach Albania in case you were wondering - and I got a pretty nice natural tan going currently, also. I wore this Outfit the day before leaving for our Vacation on June 5th and clearly I was very inspired by the sea and the beach. I actually ended up sharing the collage of photos (above) on my facebook, as well. I ended up loving this Outfit.

I originally planned on packing both this Navy Mini Pencil Skirt and this Aqua-Colorblocked Peplum Top with me on vacation. But I ended up picking a different skirt (similar to the cute floral skirt I suggested in my "What to Pack for the Beach" post) and a few other tanks, since I think simpler tank tops are more versatile to mix+match than a peplum one. I did buy this Gorgeous Floppy Hat and my Fun Cocktail Rings specifically for our vacation though. All three of them together were $14. Not bad, right? They are brand-new, also. But, this Outfit isn't only Nautical. I kept it Americana and Patriotic by adding my American Flag Loafer Sneakers and a Red+Gold Beaded Statemend Necklace. Nautical, Beach-Inspired and Americana - what do you think? You can view more Nautical-Inspired Looks featuriong this Peplum Top here.
