I would like to think that I am color combo adventurous… but black + navy has always scared me. My fears stem from the fact that my pre-coffee eyes often have a hard time differentiating navy vs. black in the first place, & I live in fear that I will show up to work in a color mis-matched outfit.
But now that I made myself try it on purpose, I have overcome my fears & must say, I love it!

Are you black + navy pro?
What color combos give you the chills?
Love the red!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same exact way! I often can't tell navy and black apart, even if I hold the items up to other items I know are black or navy. Sooo yeah the combo has always scared me too. But I LOVE how it turned out here in your outfit. I think being purposeful with different types of materials makes a difference. And that coat!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!! xxo

Great photos! Love this outfit, black and navy is still tough for me to put together. I think it it has different textures than it would be easier.

I love navy and black together, but I often fear people are thinking I didn't do it on purpose. Loving the red with the combo as well - adds a bit of interest!

Haha, I totally do the side-by-side comparison test too… and usually fail at it!

Thanks lady! After wearing this outfit, I realized that I have a black & navy purse… so the combo was already there waiting for me!
ReplyDeletexx
Agreed - definitely a air of chicness to this combo!

I agree - I wish it would have been a bit warmer so that I could have removed my jacket and showed off the great chiffon details of this gorgeous navy blouse!
ReplyDeletexx
Exactly! I have always had a hard time "owning it". But I used to think that about black + brown or gold + silver too, and this new way of color combining confidence is liberating!

Thank you! Definitely thankful that I splurged for this coat in college. It was a J.Crew super sale score, but still pretty spendy for my college student budget!
ReplyDeletexx
Woo hoo! Great (fashionable) minds think alike!

I'm with you, black and navy is a winning combo. And this coat: gorgeous. You look great!
ReplyDeleteI really love black and navy together, and with this gorgeous red coat, I adore them even more.
ReplyDeleteI was the same way...navy and black were never to be worn together. But I rocked it last fall once and I was a big fan! Love yours, especially the pop of red!
