Despite a busy week ahead, I've managed to get loads of things checked off my weekly tasks list. For me, creating weekly lists helps to keep things that are top priority in line, and how perfect it was to have that feeling of task completion! A calming disposition would accurately describe the melody that captured the feeling, which could easily echo the soothing tone of Enya's Orinoco Flow.
Checking off my list felt quite like a [nautical] triumph: the reward being one that would transport me to anywhere that I wanted to go. So, what did I do with my extra time ... a multitude of things including sewing, baking, blog surfing, and randomly finding mega-bargains on airfare (a top-notch skill to have)!
I'd certainly love to sail away at the moment to a beautiful beach. Although I will not complain too much since I've recently had some needed time-off. But, for now it's back to reality and wearing normal attire ... right, well you catch my drift!

Wouldn't it be lovely to have an extended holiday to your favourite location: a free fare pass anywhere at any time. Wherever that is ... it may be a warm beach for you or a tranquil tucked away cottage in a remote location ― perhaps a place without random city street conversations interrupting your thoughts.

Have you been inspired by anything nautical lately?

~OR~
You could just pretend that you're in a nautical setting wearing your inspiration just as I did to work! Here's one of my interpretations of a very casually modern nautical woman. I decided for a not so-typical navy, white and rouge translation this time, instead I added my vintage silk fabric for the wave of colour.

I like the blue and white combo, the yellow accents remind me of the sunny weather. Blue represents the sky and the sea...I am so looking forward to a holiday by the beach now!

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute cardigan! Love the look and I've been seriously bitten by the traveling bug. Unfortunately, having the princess in a few months keeps my options limited so I just try to dress like I am on vacation on the weekends! :)
ReplyDeleteI do love your nautical setting, and I did start singing Sail Away as soon as I read your post title, but I would love to have a free fare pass to anywhere at any time.
ReplyDeleteWow Girl, I adore the black and white picture! Your face is amazingly beautiful! Crazy scarf! :D

I've not really been inspired by anything nautical, however the sun has really started coming out this week. So it will mean I will have to break out my summer staples. Which usually involve boat shoes/navy/crisp whites... all nautically inspired. Nautical is always a safe go to look for summer.
ReplyDeleteYou look marvelous, love the scarf!! Have a super weekend doll xx
ReplyDeleteLvoe that look!
