If you're not lucky enough to be jetting off or setting sail to somewhere warm and tropical, it's not too early to start thinking about nautical-inspired ensembles for spring 2014. I've styled three versions of the nautical/resort trend, each with a different theme.
My first resort look is a preppy take on the trend with playful print mixing and coordinated colors. Aviator sunglasses add a glam factor, while flat shoes ground the look and keep it casual.

New nautical, my second look, is a more polished version of the nautical trend with classic navy stripes and chic accessories. Wear this look to the office, on a lunch date, or to a casual daytime party.

Look #3 is a laid back take on the trend with drapey pants and comfortable ankle boots. Pretty earrings and a bold manicure elevate the outfit with hints of color. Wear on a lazy weekend, to the flea market, or for running errands around town.
