This past weekend I had the pleasure of going to see the fourth installment of a movie that I’d never seen the first three installments of- The Pirates of the Caribbean. (This is what love does to you – you’ve been warned). Anyway, while I sat in the theater trying not to vomit from my 3-D induced headache, I decided to try and make rum punch out of rotten coconuts. While the plot could have (and very well may have) been written by a fifth grader and mermaids were ruined for me forever, I couldn’t help but be inspired by the costumes, accessories, and hair. There’s a reason pirates are seen as sexy afterall. Head scarves, Flowing blouses, intricate embroidery, and enough accessories to sink a ship complete a scoundrel’s wardrobe.
By the way: five things pirates do better than you:
- Accessorize
- Get booty
- Smokey eye
- Sword fight
- Hide libations in their wooden limbs.
Since I told you I would show you my favorite pirate outfit, I figured there was no better time than now. Behold, thar she blows:
Ready to walk the plank? While my “pirate” outfit is an oversized cashmere sample sweater cinched with a belt, here’s another way to achieve true buccaneer beauty:

It’s a pirate’s life for me!
