Silk and Spice: Get the Look: Pirate Chic

Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean

Well, I’m still thinking “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”. One thing I’ve noticed after I stopped swooning over our fave pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow is that a new trend has emerged. I probably mentioned this before – I love fashion, but I also try not to take it too seriously. Anyway, I like knowing what’s new, in, hot or whatever you like to call it. And what’s hot right now is something I like to call Pirate Chic. What’s that? Read on…

The look is pretty much the same as the Boho chic but there is something a little different – something a little out of place almost. Extra messy hair, heavily lined eyes, and lots of brown. Vests, Pouffy sleeves, and chunky chains. Love!

I absolutely adore this silk peasant blouse. It is super pricey though, like over $500 pricey. Since I obviously can't afford this, one of my goals now is to get my hands on a more affordable version of this gorgeous, gorgeous blouse. I love how simple it is, and the rich color complements tan skin like a dream. Perfect example of less is more.

Since the Pirate Chic look is best worn in a casual and low-key kind of way, jeans and denim are the perfect match. If I were to base my outfit around the blouse above, I would go for dark black or blue skinny jeans to keep it understated and balance out the proportions.
