Happy Saturday, all! What are you up to? We are headed to the soccer fields and the to a baseball party to kick off the season. I can’t believe it’s the last day of January. How did that happen? Why does time fly by so quickly. Can somebody please slow it down. While we ponder life and how quickly it passes, let’s talk about navy and white, shall we? It’s a great, classic combination. And super comfy, to boot. It’s all about the nautical, preppy vibe today. I love navy and white together. It really is a classic combination that never goes out of style. Many of these pieces have been in my closet for quite some time which shows you just how timeless this look is. The white cardi is rather new and a staple these days. I can’t get enough of these shoes. I LOVE them. They are crazy comfortable and run true to size. I just love the nude color because it goes with everything. They do come in a ton of other colors. I like the casual, preppy vibe the two tone gives off. I love having this wrap in white because it goes with absolutely everything. It’s crazy soft and I always get compliments when I wear it. shoes | cardigan | jeans | handbag | polka dots | striped tee So what makes this look work is the mix of stripes and polka dots as well as the warm tone of the handbag. I have had a few of these pieces for a very long time so I searched high and low to find pieces that really achieve the same look. I adore the look of the purse above. It is a steal and might not last you a lifetime but it is a chic and stylish look for a lot less. If you want an investment piece, this is a very nice tan handbag. I have had the blue polka dot sash for decades. It was actually my mother’s so I love wearing it on my purse. To get a similar look, I found an inexpensive polka dot pocket square that you could tie in a knot on one side of the bag. You could also go the route of ribbon. cardi | tank | shoes | watch | boyfriend jeans | rug If you check in on Instagram, you may have seen this combination. It was a more neutral outfit and it worked really well. I bought a medium in the polka dot swing tank and a small in the cardi {although an XS would have fit too}. I am a size 4. navy floral scarf | lipstick | sunnies | gold cuff | monogram bag | mint scarf These are all just so darn cute. And would be great for a little Valentine love. Oh, and in case you are interested, my bucket bag is back in stock. And always a great gift . . . a Nordies gift card! This one is so cute this year! Have a wonderful weekend, friends. Come back on Monday . . . really fun giveway. I hinted about it on Instagram! *affiliate links used

I've looked at the cardi for a year now and I think I'm finally going to buy it after seeing you in it.

Thank you!! I am a huge fan of navy and white, too. So classic. I love it in rooms and in fashion. I don't think preppy combos ever go out of style.
Jenny says
I am right there with the other girls – have been eyeing this cardigan for a long time (in other colors), but am loving the white. Think I might get it today. Thanks for always sharing such great options. I follow other sites and only like a handful of their options, with yours I could buy every single one. Now I just need to loose the baby weight so I can fit into all these cute things.

You're the best. I love you. And when do I get to meet baby!!!! Sign me up.

Polka dots and stripes in one post, I love it. I love the mint scarf too. Even with an infinity scarf I can never wear them right. I need a dummies guide to scarves!
Andrea W says
I have the cardi in grey and it so comfy! I'm planning to wear it for our upcoming vacation. It's a great layering piece for going from a cold place' like Seattle to a warm place like Hawaii. Very plane friendly!
Courtney {a thoughtful place} says
You're so cute. You can do it! You can do it. Just pair it with a white tee and you'll be set! You are right about traveling with the cardi. I toss it in my purse, too.
Joanna says
The shoes are fab! I bet I cook spend the whole weekend browsing the shops wearing them! 🙂
Courtney {a thoughtful place} says
Thanks, Joanna. I can tell they are going to be a staple through Spring and Summer for me, too!
Samantha says
You're so cute! I need to be writing my own blog post and I'm over here reading your blog – haha!
