I am so digging this nautical trend for this summer's wardrobe. Check out these adorable dresses, which are so reminiscent of the beach, sailing, and cotton candy on the boardwalk. The left is the Trista Striped Dress from Delia's (on sale for $35.50), and on the right is the Women's Mock Two-Piece Cabana Dress from Old Navy ($19.50). Both of these dresses would look lovely with espadrilles and a floppy hat; don't forget some bangles to complete the look!
If blue and white isn't your thing, check out the Striped Linen Dress from Forever 21 ($17) which comes in both these summery and airy colors.
Want a little twist on the nautical theme? I'm lovin' these different-nautical looks, which are a great way to dress up the boardwalk look, all the while still staying true to your inner "Ahoy, Mate!" On the left is the Striped Travels Dress from Forever21 ($14) and on the right is the Denim Striped Dress from Forever21 ($20). 
And of course, don't forget your Land's End tote!
