I've always had an affection for nautical style from my days in college by the beach to now as a Naval Officer's wife. The stripes, anchors, and gold buttons take you to a place of bright sunny days and sandy warm beaches.
Typically nautical pieces are casual because let's face it sailing on a boat or strolling along the shore calls for cool cotton and bare feet. So when I find skirts, pants or dresses that incorporate nautical elements appropriate for the office I'm headed straight to the dressing room.
I was quite excited at the sight of these shiny gold buttons on this tailored pencil skirt. Slightly surprised at the black color (I prefer navy) but I suppose a gal does have to have some black in her closet and contrasted against lighter shades it is quite sharp!
I didn't want to distract or take attention away from the gold button detail but I wasn't quite in the mood for my normal solid top so I went with a pinstriped shirt. When prints are so small you can't see them from far away you can style them as a solid.
Pair this skirt with a denim top, printed top or brightly colored top. Swap out pumps for wedges for a more casual look.
