Nautical has become a HUGE trend over the past year, and I can’t help but love its crisp simplicity! During the summer, there was a Tommy Hilfiger beach cover up dress for $79, that I really really wanted, but unfortunately, at the time, sold out in my size. Now, I should be glad, because this Striped Ponte Dress, $14.90, is a dead ringer for it, and at a fraction of the price, count me in! Navy or black paired with white stripes feels so contemporary and fresh, and is just right to wear in the start of 2012 in the form of a dress, blazer, or something beach-bound.
