Sailor Chic Without Sinking Your Budget

If you want to know what you should be wearing right this instant, you need to look to the high seas. You heard me. It’s time to rock Nautical, you old sailor, you.

This stretchy navy blue halter dress from American Eagle is only $39.50. If you add a pair of oversized sunglasses in faux tortoise shell and this necklace, also from AE you’ll be picking up the crew types in no time.

Please don’t wear the dress with flip flops though, those are more Cancun than Nantucket. Instead, pick up these St. Tropez espadrilles from Jcrew on sale for $98.

Throw your sunblock and lip gloss in this bright tote from from Urban Outfitters, a total steal at $29.99. It’s an unexpected twist for an otherwise classic outfit.

Grab yourself a cashmere cardigan and add a charm bracelet and you’re ready to go.

As for make-up, all you really need is a couple of swipes of black mascara, stain blush for a natural flush and cherry chapstick. For a little extra glow, add some shimmery moisturizer… like this one from Neutrogena. Good luck and smooth sailing.
