It is hard to live near the water and not dress nautical; I firmly believe that our surroundings influence us greatly. So, as this outfit came together I felt as if I ought to be spending my day on some sort of sailboat (obviously I did not!). I couldn’t resist this little striped number from the brand Dear Creatures, which my sponsor Shop Ruche carries. It’s everything I expect from Ruche and Dear Creatures: slightly retro, timeless, and comfortable. It’s a perfect summer dress, but as summer is leaving us I had to throw on some layers—I’m a big fan of blue, on blue, on blue… This denim vest is turning out to be a great layering piece!
*Shop Ruche is offering a discount code for anyone who wants to purchase this dress! Use code "SKIPPER4CH" for 25% off the skipper dress (and only that dress).
Outfit details:
Eight Sixty jacket
Vintage scarf (worn in hair)

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
You hair up like that looks great. Really cute outfit for being by the sea.

Super stunning in every way!
ReplyDeleteI want everything you wearing!
I love the way you've done your hair (:
ReplyDeleteLovely as always
the denim vest is such a wonderful, unexpected contrast to the rest of the nautical look and the tailored jacket.
ReplyDeletemakes me wish i was closer to the sea!!
Totally agree about surroundings being influential...that's why I love moving or visiting a place, I love how I start to change my way of dressing. Learning how to be chameleon like is a valuable skill.
ReplyDeleteI love the headscarf; how do you get it to stay put? Mine constantly fall off, and I don't notice it until somebody runs after me with it. :)
Look at you! Retro chic and everything.
ReplyDeletemy go to item as to be a striped nautical shirt, and of course, since I moved to an island 6 months ago it as intensified my obsession on nautical items! so i totally agree on how living near the beach (and seeing it every single day) can affect that!
ReplyDeleteyou look gorgeous once again.
Very pretty! Makes me want to buy a blazer :P
ReplyDeleteWonderful your photos?
ReplyDeleteWhere did you take?http://streetstylebystela.blogspot.com
My parents are moving to VA Beach, and if I were to live there too, I would probably be very much affected by the water. I adore nautical! I like the scarf headband a lot :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such a great style, and this is one of those photos i truly wish i can place myself in. Gorgeous outfit and setting.

I'd say that having immersed myself in blogs, that they're a big part of style inspiration for me. Lately I've been mulling over menswear from what I've seen!
ReplyDeleteThe nautical style is so cute and chic-- I love the hair with the scarf!

Oh I love this outfit! I love the denim vest with the dress and coat even more than I liked it the last way you styled it! Great job!

I love the retro edge you've added with the scarf in your hair. Also love the geek chic glasses necklace! It adds a slight boyishness to a girly look.
ReplyDeletecute outfit, i really like the scarf in your hair, its a nice touch
ReplyDeleteEver since you got that vest, you've been showing me new ways to style my denim vest. It's such a cool piece, and I like that you still manage to keep your girlyness in wearing it!
ReplyDeleteKicky, Flippy dresses are the cutest. Especially if they evoke days in Paris. with a cute fascinator or beret, you'd be in very Parisian shape!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
As always.

Mae Lu, thereafterish.
second photo from the bottom is PERFECT. absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely outfit! I'm a sucker for anything nautical... I'm originally from a seaside town, so I totally agree with the idea that home places can influence your fashion choices. Definitely! x
ReplyDeleteI love it and i love your hair :d
ReplyDeletelove the layers! great styling as always :-)
ReplyDeleteEee! That necklace is so cute, love it!
ReplyDeletehttp://pennydreadfulvintage.blogspot.com/
Another great look by you! Just curious how come you did not wear navy or white keds to complete the nautical theme?
ReplyDeleteGreat look girl! Love the headband idea very much. I think I will try it too...it looks so sweet on you!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, for one thing I like to mix things up a bit: nothing to head to toe or theme-y; it should look nautical without being too literal. Second thing: I don't have keds! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the layers, and those shoes!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna leave there. I would spend the entire day sitting there.
Kisses!
Love the nautical influence. I also agree about living near water and dressing nautical. It's always fun!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the way you did your hair and the scarf headband! It somehow completes this look for me
ReplyDeletewonderful outfit, especially looove that headband! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I like how the touches of red really liven up your blue ensembles for this week (so far); very fresh and yes, a little bit nautical.
ReplyDeleteAs usual beautiful photography too. You are so inspiring!
That dress is really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about moving to Canada, or the US for that matter, just to be able to enter your Lulus giveaway!
Love it..the outfit is charmingly retro with the way you're wearing your hair. also love the nautical influence.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the third photo!
ReplyDeleteYou look like an amazing retro pinup girl in these photos! wow!
ReplyDeleteI love how your style has evolved, Rebecca! It all looks so effortless and totally... you! If that makes sense. Even though I don't know you in real life, all of your outfits just suit you and fit you well. Great photographs, too! What camera/lens do you use?
ReplyDeletecheers.
