After the overwhelming responses to our posts on fashion inspired by The Little Mermaid (and Little Mermaid Fashion, Part 2), we’re back with looks inspired by the 2000 sequel to the original film, titled The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea.

This time around, the film follows the adventures of Ariel’s daughter Melody, who, much like her mother, tends to cause a bit of trouble every once in a while. However, unlike Ariel, Melody isn’t satisfied with being human and would much rather spend her life in the ocean…as a mermaid. This is a bit of a problem for her, though, seeing as how her parents forbade her from swimming in the sea to protect her from the evil Morgana, Ursula’s sister.

Even if you haven’t seen the film, Melody’s adorable mermaid look is actually a fab source of fashion inspiration! Combining nautical motifs with a girly appeal, Melody’s outfits can easily be turned into wearable everyday outfits. Below, I’ve created several outfits inspired by her character for you to use as ideas for your own wardrobe. Scroll down to view them all!

Return to the Sea

Top, Skirt, Flats, Necklace, Earrings

Whether you’re heading off to the seaside or just to class, this nautical-inspired look is fresh, fun, and just a little bit girly. Wear a pretty cream and mint colored bouse tucked into a neon coral mini skirt, and add a pair of peep-toe ballet flats. For accessories, put on a seashell charm necklace like Melody’s and a pair of fun starfish earrings.

The Princess to Be

Dress, Flats, Headband, Necklace

While Melody would much rather be swimming in the ocean than attending a royal ball, she does look absolutely adorable in a pink dress! Create a super girly look like hers with a pink ruffled strapless dress and some cream-colored ballet flats. Wear a bow headband for a sweet look, and a mermaid pendant necklace to give the look a seafaring flair.
