Navy is a Neutral |

I was never a Navy girl before. I think it’s because I was told that it was difficult to pair with black and brown which were the two main colours I wore in my high school years (back then it was about being anonymous 😛 ). Well, I’ve been on a navy kick this summer. I love navy with classic white or cream but I’ve paired navy with bright colours too and it goes beautifully!

My favorite way to wear navy was pairing my navy striped T from H&M with my bright cerise Dara Dot Designs scarf and a bright lipstick:

On my last trip to Florida I fell in love with this Navy dress and decided to pair it up with subtle brights:

Dress: Banana Republic Factory 00P (if you’re interested in the back view you can see it on FitReview)

Watch: Avon

Bag: Coach

I love this dress, the cut outs at the top make it so interesting, and they are surprisingly placed really strategically – no bra straps showing! This dress is shorter than what I wear normally so it’s definitely for the weekends, I don’t think it’s work appropriate. (Oh…and there are POCKETS!)

Sandals: Gap size 7 (old!)

Now for the detailed shots.

The pretty Avon watch I actually got last summer! I think it really adds some fun and interest 🙂

And here are the shoes.

Ha, bright nail polish works too I guess! And gasp – the details on the shoes are black but my dress is navy!! I wasn’t too bothered by this since the shoes and dress weren’t right up against each other. That and my whole sense of what goes together and what doesn’t has pretty much been thrown out the window since I started reading style blogs 😉

What is your take on navy? Is is a staple in your wardrobe? Do you consider it a neutral that goes with anything?
