In the Navy (and the Orange)

Daily Outfit, 3/17/11

I decided to mix it up a bit and wear a dress and a blazer instead of a dress and a cardigan.  You’re welcome.

Poor picture taking day again - I cut off my feet!

These are the boots I'm wearing today.

The navy blazer is vintage wool (tag says “The Villager” – thrifted) and the dress is silk (Banana Republic).  I also wore a lace-trimmed camisole (Old Navy), navy tights (Nordstrom), my Born Crown riding boots (Nordstrom) and a glass bead bracelet (Mom).  I don’t usually wear bracelets to work but for some reason my wrists just looked so bare poking out of the sleeves on this jacket.

Apparently I should have been looking to this dress to determine what I should pair with greige.  Navy, rust, orange and bright yellow all appear to go very nicely.  Next time, next time.  I really should do that more often, refer to my clothes with prints for ideas on pairing colors.  And I’d already know it’s a color combination that appeals to me or (presumably) I wouldn’t have bought something with those colors.  It would help take some of the guesswork out of it. 

Do you all ever do that?  Refer to a print for suggestions on pairing colors?  

Happy Thursday, Everyone!  And Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Does anyone have any big plans for tonight?
