It’s been confirmed – Nautical IS nice. Everywhere we look, every place we go – blue and white with a splash of red (or any variation of striped combinations) – is where it’s at. Not only is this look in trend this Spring/Summer, but Keeping up with the Sailors is in fact, timeless. I remember sporting these exact colors in the early ’80’s (okay, so the pants more more like floods, and the collars were more scoop than round – but blue, white, and red nonetheless), and I still felt I was making headway in the world of fashion. With a little fine tuning, the nautical look has once again, resurrected, taking over the baby runway and is now readily available at your neighborhood Target.
As always, Gwen Stefani‘s Harajuku Mini line, exclusive to Target – has done it again! With its Japanese-inspired styles, bold colors, and whimsical details, Harajuku Mini continues to introduce more looks for every season. We’ve been nothing short of obsessed-‘n-dressed with our Harajuku Mini threads since its first release in November. As for the Nautical line, we’re a little behind (ruffles and all), but as far as I know, the sun’s still out – and nautical is still in.
If subtly isn’t your l’il mama’s (12 – 24 months) strongsuit, you may want to consider the Stripe Sailor Romper, now ON SALE for $17. The graphic bow and accents keep the outfit authentic, yet practical for your little sailor-ette.
For our big girls, (2T – 5T), the Dark Pink Toddler Girls Sailor Straight Pant brags of its pull-on elastic waist closures and faux button accents. Well, shiver my timbers, these fancy pants are both cute and functional!
For the young ladies (4 – 16), the Sleeveless Stripe Dress with the super stylin’ square neckline and flirty, ruffled hems is enough to take the wind out of anyone sails.
Something a little less flirty, and a lot more, um… dottie, is the the Infant Girls (12 – 24 months) Long-Sleeve Dot Dress. With its back zipper closures, straight hems, and matching bloomers, you’ve got us shouting Ahoy!
And when you reach the shore, the Infant Boys’ Anchor Romper is all you need to keep you afloat, available in Sizes 12 – 24 months.
The coast is now clear my friends, so I highly recommend we batten down the hatches, jump on the proverbial sail-wagon, and catch some items on clearance, in and out of store – because these cuties are sailing away!
And don’t forget to check out our buddies at Boys Be Cool, for some of their fave items from the Harajuku Mini’s latest collection. They know exactly what’s in and what’s naut! 🙂 (okay okay, I’ve had my fill of the salty talk!)
Bon Voyage my stylin’ mates,
