Nautical But Nice

I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet as unfortunately the last couple of days I haven’t been feeling very well at all and need to rest. So there’s a quick announcement, I am 6th in the top UK fashion blogs roundup on Vuelio! I can’t believe I am 6th out of the whole country for fashion blogs. Considering there are millions, that’s such an honour. It made my day yesterday, despite feeling really rubbish and attending the doctors.

For this outfit, I chose to wear it a couple of weeks ago for something casual and easy. I’m very much into stripes in navy and white for that nautical theme, and this ONLY Striped Jumper/Sweater is seriously one of the most comfy and cozy pieces! I love how soft it is. Isn’t it pretty? I paired it with my Citizens of Humanity Rocket Crop Jeans in Aura, and my Ted & Muffy Blade Boots in Navy, to really keep the blue and white theme going. I then added in my Loeffler Randall Mini Saddle Bag in Navy to complete the look. Since I felt this was just a bit too much blue, I chose my old Topshop Burgundy Princess Style Coat to inject a little bit of complementing colour, while standing out.

When it comes to location, I feel like this is such a nice background to surround the colours in my outfit. I’ve always had a thing for red, yellow, green, and blue together and with the hues of the bushes and trees in the background, it just adds such a colourful element to the photographs. As always though, please let me know what you think of my outfit on my fashion blog!

What I Was Wearing:
Coat – Topshop (similar)
Jeans – Citizens of Humanity
Top – ONLY
Boots – Ted & Muffy (similar)
Bag – Loeffler Randall

    Congratulations on the recognition for you blog! As always, amazing outfit post! I like how the color combination of the jacket and the jeans and how they mix well together. The boots fit in perfectly with the outfit as well.

    Oh, I lost the comment 🙂 I said congratulations for the position you reached, it’s fantastic! You are doing a great job and it was acknowledged! I loved your coat, burgundy is a very beautiful colour, and together with the great boots and bag, a beautiful outfit! The location is really cool and you look fabulous, as usual! The striped top gives a sweet touch to all! I hope you rest and feel better soon, since feeling tired is not good 🙁 Use the weekend to sleep a lot and then I hope all is fine in no time! Hugs, dear Lorna!

    I like this combination very much indeed. 🙂 I’m certainly getting the nautical vibe from it – actually a bit of a pirate captain vibe really what with those boots and the shape and style of the coat. I’m wondering if there’s a bottle of rum in your bag? 😉 The colour of the coat is deliciously amazing! I think it’s a somewhat different burgundy to a lot of other burgundy shades – so much brighter. As always, those jeans look fabulous too. Another terrific outfit all round. 😀

    Congratulations on your well earned #6 position. It’s great to see your hard work paying off with such an impressive recognition. 😀

    I hope that you feel better soon. 🙂 I too have been feeling miserably ill for the last week or so… On Monday I even phoned into work sick for the first time ever in the 11+ years I’ve been in my present job! Everyone seems to be getting ill one way or another this winter though. 🙁

      Thank you, Steven 🙂 So happy you like it! I can see a pirate resemblance there actually too, I get that now that you said it. Although it’s a rather fancy and feminine pirate, ha ha!

      I hope you feel better soon as well, being ill is no joke 🙁

    Hi Lorna, what a wonderful outfit and what a witty name for it. I love the word play. The jacket is so sexy with those jeans and boots, it makes you look stunning. I do love the coat’s red colour and the coat itself. Do you know if they have this coat for men too in either black or blue? Get well soon!

    Wow Lorna you look incredible! I adore this look on you. The striped top is very chic, and suits you beautifully. The burgundy coat is stunning, and I love the vibrant shade, and the ultra-flattering peplum fit. This is a really classy look, with a lovely playfulness to it as well.

    I’m sorry to hear you were feeling unwell at the time of writing this post. I do hope you’re feeling much better now and made a full recovery.

    On a positive note, congratulations on coming in 6th in the top UK fashion blogs roundup on Vuelio! That’s a major accomplishment and you deserve it!

    Lots of love Saba xx
