I’m tragically behind on blogging…this outfit is from nearly a month ago. But I’m on vacation this week (greetings from the Outer Banks), so that means I get to play catch up! Once upon a time, blogging was in fact a hobby that I did for fun, and not just something I tried to squeeze in on days I wasn’t working until 8pm. Not that I’m complaining. My job is fantastic and I love it and all my bosses are smart and wonderful and completely flawless and some of them read this blog from time to time.

Moving on. The point is, this summer has been incredibly busy — with work and play, including taking in a couple shows at Indy Fringe, when I wore this outfit. One of the shows we saw was Josephine, a burlesque cabaret dream play about the life of Josephine Baker. I don’t usually feel feelings at live theater (or just ever, really), but this one was very powerful. The show is touring around different fringe festivals, so I definitely recommend it if you can catch it!

A Little Bit of Nautical in My Life

nautical1 nautical2 nautical3 nautical4 nautical5 nautical6

Sorry about the title. I heard “Mambo No. 5” on the radio right before I uploaded these photos.

So I really like nautical things like navy and white stripes, anchors, and boat shoes, but normally only one at a time. I feel like a phony wearing too much nautical-inspired gear at once considering my boat knowledge is slim.

Starboard. Sail. Ahoy, matey. Iceberg: right ahead!

That’s about the extent of my expertise. As you can see above, I broke my rule recently and wore navy stripes AND navy Sperrys at the same time. But somehow I have a feeling no one’s going to mistake me for a ship captain – except maybe for a Carnival cruise ship captain, because Carnival seems to have pretty low standards these days.
