Navy Blues

I am noticing some attractive items in Navy blue at Ann Taylor. The styling is flattering and the pieces fit my career.

However, navy doesn't really SING on me. It seems to add a matronly air. Frankly my coloring and personal vibe go to an autumn color pallete. Do I add a few outfits in this color if I doubt that I will buy much more (in the hope of mixing things in my wardobe up a little)?

Do I stick with tried and true? Maybe I have been doing this navy thing wrong. . .

Thanks, Deb300


Never succumb to a color that doesn't sing on you! Navy can support many other colors, especially if it's in a shiny fabric. Use Navy for a nice skirt, or pants, and add your really great colors as tops.

Be careful with Navy. I don't know what gets into designers who use it, but be certain that the item is absolutely up-to-date.

(They can be found at every price point. This is just an example. )

Not These

But These

I am an 'autumn' and navy is one of the colors listed as a 'do'.
I don't usually think of a single item as 'frumpy', rather a combination of things or lack of pizzaz in an outfit in accesories, shoes or current haircut. For example, Posh Beckham, whose style she self-describes as 'librarian' is very far removed from 'frumpy'.

Here's style makeover's autumn palette.
