Ship ahoy!

Today I'm wearing this playsuit from Urban Outfitters, its rather nautical in it's detailing but I also look at myself and believe that patients may mistake me for a nurse if I wore this to a hospital.

To think about it, what is the appeal of nautical inspired items? Only yesterday did I find online a white, slightly transparent shirt imprinted with small navy anchors and within seconds I was considering what I would wear with such an item. 

I can only imagine it stems from our parents desire to dress us as small children as if we were sailors, miniature members of a yacht club. I'm surprised that more babies first words aren't 'ahoy'.

But then why do our parents choose to dress us this way? Perhaps it is the clean lines and smart uniformed look to these kinds of silhouettes. 

Stripes & flippers.

A new week begins and I can hardly believe we are nearing the end of March, the day is perfect and I plan to spend it productively with lots to get done. I've got Fifties music flooding the room and fresh air drifting through the window and down deep into my lungs. 

I decided when I first picked up these pretty blush heels from the Zara sale that my journey to become more feminine on a daily basis would start with wearing these shoes casually and not just of an evening out. They are such a small heel that they don't look out of place worn this way but still keep the elegance and femininity that I was looking for. 

 I've taken to rising early and going out for a stroll through the dewy fields to clear my head, ready for the day. It's so easy to fall into a slumber around the house, the walk helps motivate me for the rest of the day especially with this beautiful weather. It's enough to put anyone in high spirits.

I'm wearing a navy jersey sleeveless blouse today (which I enjoy looting from my mother's wardrobe) with my white cotton skirt from Zara I picked this up because I really enjoy how it's covered in little vintage swimmers in their striped one suits, caps and flippers. It's a lovely length too and has a nice fullness to it.
