First Mate

Top:  H&M (similar here, here, here), Shorts:  Zara (old, similar here), Shoes:  Tory Burch, Bag:  Anthropologie (old, similar here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

Whenever my husband mentions going for a boat ride, I automatically go into nautical mode.  Maybe I went a little overboard with the stripes, sailor shorts and espadrilles, but I thought I looked very sailor chic.  Just call me Captain {I'll settle for first mate}!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

Top:  Zara (old, great alternative here), Pants:  Forever 21 (old, similar here, here ), Shoes:  Tory Burch, Bag:  C.Wonder, Belt:  Madewell (similar), Sunnies:  Forever 21 (similar here, here for $5)

I'm not really leaving on a jet plane so maybe I should have titled the post 'posing with a jet plane'?  Nah, doesn't have the same ring to it.

I do, however, wish that I had picked up this bag before I left on a plane to go to Florida last month.  The day before we departed, I realized that I could not find my beach bag anywhere.  I searched high and low.  It was too late to buy another {not too many places selling beach bags mid-April in NJ anyway}, so I went without and used an old tote.  Of course as soon as I get home I discover the perfect beach bag ~ oh, the irony.

Casual Chic

Shirt:  Zara (old, similar here), Jeans:  Forever 21 (old, similar here), Shoes:  Tory Burch, Bag:  Unknown (similar here), Sunnies:  Ray-Ban, Nails:  Essie "Go Ginza"

Happy Wednesday readers ~ we are half way through the week.  The weather situation seems to be improving in NJ.  I guess as soon as Easter came, Mother Nature could no longer deny us of temps above freezing.

 This is the outfit that I wore this past Sunday.  We had a very low-key Easter celebration this year with my in-laws ~ a fun egg hunt for my nieces and nephews followed by a late lunch, and we were on our way.  A good day to break in my new Tory Burch espadrilles {that I'm absolutely obsessed with}, and pull some more springy clothes out of the closet.  My mother-in-law received this colorful clutch as an Easter present and I instantly saw it as an opportunity to borrow.  It added the perfect amount of pizazz to my casual ensemble!
