Us Two in Navy Blue

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!
