Nautical hen night....help!

[slightlystressed]

The theme is Nautical and basically havn't a clue...not into denim hotpants! I don't want to spend a fortune and would like to buy something that I could wear again.

Please help?

Hmm - was thinking hen night + boat, to which my (strong) advice would be 'life jacket'.

Assuming you are on dry land, how about something like a 'boat neck' blue and white stripe T - petit bateau (!) generally does them.

Something like this? Or this?

There is loads of nauticle stuff in the shops right now. New look has loads at reasonable prices - I brought a blue and white stripped top in there for about £10 the other day. Team it with jeans and some blue and red bangles.

Once again I am in total awe of tethersend.

This dress is nautical gorgeous-ness! It's not cheap but it's certainly chic and a total classic:

I'd add a red silky neck scarf and some red shoes...

And maybe even a little white sailor hat to add a bit of fun like this:

Another option for a more casual sailor look is something like this from Next:

Whatever you choose I hope you have a fab time!

The Topshop dress Tethers linked to is gorgeous. My DH likes it too, if that helps.

oh thanks - had forgotton that I wrote this! Lovin' the topshop dress!

Blue and white or red and white stripy top, jeans (white if you own a pair!), cheapy Sailors hat (e.g www.onlinejokeshop.co.uk/fancy_dress_hats/Sailor_Hats/ big sunglasses, and lots of camping it up by scanning the horizon should do it.

Or pirate girl - eye patch, bandana, 'wench-like' top, scabbard on your belt, boots, bottle of rum in your hand...

Or you could get a giant yellow souwester, hat, wellies and a couple of plastic fish and be a fisherman! Maybe not...
