Thrift Style Thursday: Nautical Notions

When Brittany suggested a nautical theme for this week, I must admit, I was at a bit of a loss. I don't own anything with anchors on it, nothing with rope details or big gold buttons. So I started thinking a little more subtle approach was in order.

The style is typified by navy and white, sometimes with gold and/or red accents. That I can handle. Stripes are usually featured prominently, but polka dots will do in a pinch.

I added the one obviously beach-y item I own: my tiny starfish earrings made from real starfish! And finally, a pair of beloved Converse subbed in for boat shoes.

    1. Aren't they just!?! It's a shame it doesn't look like that Etsy seller has them anymore.
