Fabulous Fashion Friday: Fresh Stripes & Smooth Sailin' Ahead

Bold nautical stripes in shades of deep Navy blue and soft Ivory white conger up thoughts of sailing the Puget Sound on a bright summer day.  Here are a few looks we have in store now, to ensure you look super cute at the helm...Happy Sailing!

Look #1: Fiona's Birthday

If you're sailing over to your best friend's birthday party,
wear this cute, casual ensemble, which includes:
Lumiere mixed vertical stripes sweater, $42
Cisono cotton-stretch jeggings, $29.50
Rocketdog, twisted cross canvas sandal, in Jute, $39.50
When wearing a bold stripe, loose fitting top like this, we reccommend a "skinny" leg for balance.  We love the way the Jute colored sandal picks up the ivory stripe in the top! 
Bonus: waybound ships will see you coming, and steer clear of your path!
Orange gemstone jewelry is the perfect complement to the navy blues in this top.  Shown here: Frankie Says Carnelian and hammered 14kf gold earrings and sterling silver horseshoe pendant (about $96 for the set) along with Bellatrix Carnelian and fused-fine-silver loops bracelet ($42).
Available at our sister shop, Ponytail Jewelry
Studio.


A loose dolman sleeve helps a girl steer her boat Leeward!
This canvas sandal has just a hint of gold sparkle, to keep the Captain feeling pretty!
Keep 'em guessing with stripes that veer in different directions, so flattering!

Look#2: Soccer Finals at Market Arms

After a long day on the sea, head to shore with this reverse version of Look #1.  This outfit would be perfect for meeting friends at Ballard's best pub, The Market Arms, for beer and a match. Be SURE and order the Onion Rings!!!  

Lumiere mixed vertical stripes sweater in taupe, $42
Cisono cotton-stretch jeggings, $29.50
Rocketdog, canvas lace-up skimmers in benim pinstripe, $39.50
This look says: relaxed, comfortable, confident and cute!
The Denim pinstripe version of this Rocketdog boat skimmer is so fresh & fun!
Ahoy!  Summer fun and sunshine...straight ahead!

 Look 3: A Walk at the Locks

Did you know the Hiram Chittendon Locks (just two blocks West of Kick It) is the second most visited tourist destination in Seattle?  (The first, of course, is the Space Needle.) This casual and cute look would be perfect for walking around the extensive garden paths or just hanging out at the rails, watching the ships come though.

This super large (but very light weight) tote by Tosca is Totes Cute, right?


 Our new Rocketdog lace up boat skimmers are so cushy, and the white out-soles make them perfect for walking the decks to rig the spinnaker.
So fresh!  We think these lightweight lace-ups are a great alternative to Toms!

All dressed & ship shape. Now, which way is the wind blowing, because that is the direction I'm heading!
