In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and consequently- Bri's Third Thursday Threads theme), I wore this pink and navy color combo to work yesterday. The pink pencil skirt pops nicely against the navy blazer, and I added a navy/white striped blouse underneath it to lighten it up. Looking back, I clearly love this color combo. In fact, I blogged one outfit that I declared as one of my most favorite outfits ever...and it was navy & pink. Oh, and I apparently did a reverse of Read More

Pink Blazer Remix & Life this Week
I’ve had these photos waiting to be posted for a while…clearly, my pink blazer is getting a ton of wear! Check out this pink blazer remix: The left features a navy linen skirt for a spring look, then I transitioned it to more of a “casual Friday” look with trouser jeans for the middle look. The last look features the blazer over my black polka dot dress, which you can see better here: I got the blazer from Target last fall—it’s a heavier fabric so I’m not sure how much longer into Read More
Style Swap- Maroon and navy with cognac accessories
Source unknown | I Do deClaire | The Style Files I pinned the outfit on the left a long time ago and finally got around to recreating it since winter has decided to stick around for awhile. Then, I saw Laura recreate this look and knew I had to put my spin on it too! I love the combination of maroon and navy for winter. I went with my maroon shift dress and navy blazer, both of which are from Target, and added cognac accessories in my belt and boots. Totally meant to add a scarf (I don’t Read More

Navy and Mint
Since it is practically summer outside in Chicago, I figured I'd bust out one of my summer jersey dresses. I got this sleeveless one from Target last summer. But since it is January, I needed a little more coverage so I added the boots and my mint open front cardigan and a belt. The result? A fun navy/mint ensemble perfect for a summer-like day like today...in January...in Chicago. Wait. Whaaat?! Crazy weather! I also experimented with my hair this morning since I washed my hair last Read More
Navy + Green + Cream
One of my favorite style bloggers, Erin over at Loop Looks, has a great series called "You Pick Wednesday." She basically encourages people to reach out with style-related questions or requests, from mixing patterns to how to wear a striped blazer. Recently, a question came up about what to wear with navy (see full post here.) Navy is a tricky color, but luckily Erin came to the rescue with several looks. One of these looks included navy, green and cream. I had a items in all three of Read More
