Ahoy There, Matey!

Top: Cotton On// Shorts: Calvin Klein (thrifted)// Cap: Pull & Bear (2011)// Wedge sneakers: ASOS// Bag: Forever 21// Bracelet: Forever 21

Okay, I know some of you may be thinking - of all the bright, fun clothes I bought and showed you in the last post, why would I feature this super basic top and bag first? Well, because while you know I love me some clashy colors and prints, sometimes, easy is key.

This was a super rushed outfit. My shift was at 10 a.m. and these were taken at 9:30 a.m. I wish I was joking...but no, I'm not. Time is something very scarce right now. But I just love how nautical it turned out, don't you? Finally I found a shirt with just the right type of stripe (the breton) and the most wearable color scheme. I can't believe how hard it is to find those simple things - like a sailor shirt. But it is...it so is! So I put on the shirt, the white shorts, but something was missing - a hat. Good thing I kept Leon's trusty trucker cap - his staple a few years ago, though now he doesn't use them anymore. How'd I get my hair to look less poofy under the hat (one big reason I don't wear hats)? Well, I'm so glad you asked! =) I took the hairs that were sticking a little too out, and then hastily clipped it with a big hairclip. Voila! Neat-ish hair.

Now all I need is me crew and me hands on the helm, salt spray in my face. Haha...way to take it overboard. Hey, at least I'm not in boat shoes. This could so easily be a Halloween costume for a sailor...thank goodness for street appropriate sneaker wedges!  Got not much else to report right now, so see you soon, - Che
