Nautical For The Office + Link-Up Co-Host!
I love when the seasons change because that means the color palettes change! With summer, comes light colors like grey, blush, white, and khaki. On the contrary, summer also brings fun brights like turquoise, coral, and yellow. My absolute favorite color for the warmer weather is navy! There’s always the concern when you wear light colors that you’ll spill something or get it stained somehow. Navy for the office during the summer is perfect because it’s lighter than classic black, yet dark enough where it’s flattering and you don’t have to worry about ruining it.
My favorite way to style navy for the summer is with a nautical style! It’s preppy and classic; it really never goes in or out of style.
I love this statement Express high-waist midi skirt! During the winter, I styled it with a plaid collared oxford top (see previous post: Turn Heads This Holiday With a Bright Red Midi Skirt). The nautical style is the perfect way to transition this fabulous piece to the summmer so it can be worn year-round.
