Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!
Today I would like to share an outfit
with my favorite neutral, navy blue
Of all the dark neutrals, it is the one I love the best
For me, the color has a sentimental significance,
because when I was a little girl,
my grandmother favored dressing me in red, white and blue
Growing up, I had several dresses in this color combination,
and in a nautical style with sailor collars,
an influence for those of us living in costal areas
To me the color blue in general, has a calm and stable feeling
Today, I still like to wear navy blue,
but go way beyond with my mixing of the color
Navy is so versatile and goes well
with just about any other color
I especially like it with bright pink, Kelly green, yellow
and other shades of blue
Do you have a favorite go-to neutral?
How about one that you love to wear
because of a sentimental attachment?
For my outfit today,
I am wearing a Navy blue and white high contrast
intarsia stitch sweater vest in an all over print of daisies
Layering the sweater over an ivory elbow length sleeve,
collarless blouse
For trousers, a cranberry colored straight leg pair
Us two in Navy blue
Roger chose a Navy and grey checked
oversized knit vest today, to coordinate
For accessories, I am carrying a two tone mini bucket bag
that I have had for several years-
and is a crazy good match for this look!
Some bold, gold classic jewelry for a preppy style outfit
An initial necklace, a rose gold and rhinestone bangle,
and 80's dome, sculptural earrings
I favor this sort of big, button earring
and am finding them everywhere
since they have made a big comeback in fashion
over the past few years
Navy suede block heel loafers
with horse bit detail
seemed the perfect finish for this outfit
I will be packing these up soon until fall
Roger has been joining me occasionally for my photos
He says he would be happy to take the pictures for me,
but he likes to dress up too, and I want it to be fun for him
and not turn out to be a chore
Navy favorite color combination from the past-spring 2020
Navy and white sea shell print cardigan,
with a pop of coral
Hope everyone has a good week!
The two of you look great in your navy-based outfits! I am also a big fan of navy blue, especially with white and pretty much any accent color in the summer. I also like mixing it with olive for a multiple neutrals look. I keep thinking I would like it with grey, but I end up preferring grey with black.
ReplyDeleteYour vest is so cute! I love the small pattern it has. And your bag is so perfect with this outfit. I hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou're right that blue is calming. Apparently police forces used to wear black uniforms but this was changed to blue as black was perceived as threatening!
ReplyDeleteLovely print on the intarsia vest, and I like the pops of coral with the second outfit.
Navy blue is a neutral I've avoided because I didn't think it suited me, but I've just found a lovely dress in it! Have a good weekend
