Fit Guide: I am 5' and 105 pounds. I usually wear XS-S tops and XS bottoms.


Summer is almost here! It’s that time of the year again to head to the boat, hoist up the sails, and enjoy a day of relaxing in the sunshine. Perhaps your idea of boating is being whisked away in a power boat as you enjoy the wind blowing through your hair. No matter what kind of boating you prefer, the southern chic woman is prepared with the proper fashion attire for the nautical lifestyle.


Don’t let your age stop you from dressing how you feel. I am 62 and still enjoy dressing in youthful clothes that reflect my personality and fit my active lifestyle! Flaunt those legs and arms, just make sure you are using sunscreen with a minimum of 40 spf.

My Little dog, Lili, has been by my side for 14 years. My husband, Doug, calls her our little bookmark who held his place until we were married almost two years ago!

DRESS (DIFFERENT PATTERNS) HAT SHOES


Show your nautical style with a striped crop top paired with these lined navy shorts (Petite women should only wear short, not long horizontal striped tops to elongate their legs). These Jamfit Chino shorts fit great in XS, but sometimes specific colors are not always stocked. The related shorts (linked below) are not available in XS, but the S fits, just a little baggier. I actually prefer the HDE (S) for the white shorts, nicely lined and fit a little looser which is more attractive for white shorts. (LINKS BELOW)

A great pair of lightweight joggers with deep pockets to hold keys and cell phones are always a welcome addition to your boating wardrobe for those cool mornings and evenings. These comfortable, water resistant joggers are perfect for the petite sailor!

These are available on my Amazon Storefront.

A stretchy water resistant pair of shorts like these from Spanx paired with a bodysuit will give you a slender silhouette. These Spanx shorts are great to put on over a swimsuit when you want to portray a classy look right out of the water.
