Starts with a nautical striped dress...

This nautical-inspired striped has become a staple lately. In a perfectly relaxed fit without being too baggy, it's an ideal choice for casual Fridays and weekend brunches alike.

For this casual Friday outfit, I paired it with a statement necklace with neon details. It provided some "pop" to the dress, and also helped break up the horizontal lines to provide more dimension. Subtle gold accessories and shoes helped complete the look. All that's missing now is a sailboat!
