This is about as nautical/preppy as I’m ever gonna get. Pretty sure I stole the pearls-and-scarf thing out of a catalog … though I can’t remember which one. Because of the Galloping Brain Rot.

I tried popping the collar on the little red polo sweater, but just felt goofy. I’ve had it for years but seldom worn it as I’m not often in a polo-y mood!

Lovely and classic with a flair that's all "Sal".

The scarf and pearls combination is so classic. I will definitely have to follow suit. And isn't it great to receive thrifted finds? My boyfriend's mom recently found two pairs of boots for me — KORS by Michael Kors and J. Crew. $20combined. Can't beat that, right?

Trust me. The tats save you:). BTW, you do this look really well, despite your relative level of enthusiasm.

I could never expect what you are going to wear – your creativity is always a pleasant surprise! I'm with LPC – on you, and with the bright red and the tall nude sandals, this is no WASP outfit by any means!

Love the scarf and pearls. Being preppy can be fun sometimes.

The scarf/pearls reminds me of a necklace at anthropologie that had me intrigued, now you've inspired me to do this myself! I love the color combo here, and your amazing tattoo!

Ooh yes, a bit of a "yacht club" vibe never hurt anyone! Love the pearls/scarf combo!

I love the combo of the tat and the prep – fabulous! And I am such a fan of mixing accessories – the scarf with necklace combo is awesome.

Ooooooo, I absolutely ADORE this outfit. Very classic and a bit Americana. I have always loved your writing style, but I do enjoy seeing the outfit pics, too :)

Would love at tutorial on how you tied the scarf. I am always looking for new ways. :)

Well, a bit of preppy never hurt anyone (wait, I'm not sure if that's true or not)…anyway, this is wonderful. The pearls with the scarf are perfect!!
