Off the Shores



I really appreciate the nautical elements in this outfit, the striped shirt and the navy Keds. I love when an outfit displays a theme, because then it displays a concept within fashion. Designers for example usually have themes for their collection underwater, nautical, minimalist you name it. The cream jacket is one of those classic pieces that add instant style and refinement. If you can purchase a structured, classic, or well made piece then do so. You will forever be able to use it as a staple to pair with simple, casual, or inexpensive clothes.

What I'm really in love with however is the shoes. They're Keds which always feel like a mix of a sneaker, converse, and a boat shoe. I like how the designer added a pattern to the wedge, since most wedges are usually plain or cork. I also have a thing for rounded toes --(I know I have a real shoe fetish)--, and the white threading really emphasizes that line. Something to consider is what you actually like about a shoe or a piece of clothing. Describe it and it will really help you appreciate the thought that was put into the design. As Katie Holmes once said when asked about her new clothing line is that once you begin to appreciate the elements and detailings of your wardrobe, you've really started approaching fashion on a whole different level. Agreed :)
