The nautical look is a rather classic trend that appears on a regular basis.

Being a classic person, this style has appeal to me, depending on how it is imagined.

This spring, I’ve seen quite a bit of nattiness in navy, stripes, pea coats and especially, as button festooned pants, skirts and sweaters.

The button diagonal pant and skirt pockets and the shoulder button stripe sweaters are really jazzing me this year.

I already own a pair of wide leg, diagonal pocket navy trousers and a great navy and white stripe sweater.

A trip to JoAnn Fabrics for buttons was all I needed!

Additionally, I purchased a great ivory pea coat style blazer from Ann Taylor that will finish the look with panache!

Now, all I need is a few minutes to stitch on the buttons…
