The Budget Fashionista called it when she said nautical would be hot in Spring 2007.  Now we don’t expect you to channel the spirit of Popeye and purchase a pair of white pants and red and white striped top,

but you can add this nautical inspired shoes, from Sperry and less than $50.00, to your closet.

Striper Slip-On ($39.95 – $44.95)

www.sperrytopsider.com

This slip on comes in 9 different styles including madras (above) and plain white.

Bahama ($44.95)

www.sperrytopsider.com

These are a great alternative to the Sebago Docksides ($75). Comes in 4 styles including classic white.

If You Got Your Bonus: Gravis Yachtmaster ($68)

www.gravisfootwear.com

This shoe missed the cut because it was a little pricer than the rest at $68. The Gravis Yachtmaster is a urban take on the classic boat shoe style. Extra heavy stitching gives it more of an moccasin look and distinguishes this shoe from the pack.
