Navy stripes are one of my timeless classics, I've got tanks, tees, dresses and skirts in this print, and I find that I can wear them season after season - which really makes them the cheapest pieces in my wardrobe, no? I think my love for them may be due to my family's sailing history, and the fact that I do love a good preppy style. They have a slight tomboy-ish feel, and make anything they are paired with look crisp and fresh – is there any reason not to love them?
A few days ago on a much-needed day off work, I wore this super simple navy tank dress and denim jacket with some wedge espadrilles, it was the first day of Spring and I was ready to dress the part! Whenever I wear navy (which should be obvious - it's a lot), I try to use a splash of colour, so that it doesn't look too much like a uniform. My all-time most-used favourite handbag in bright orange is really all that I ever pair with navy stripes, I just love navy and orange together.

Yesterday I got to top up my navy stripe wardrobe when an incentive gift voucher turned up for me at work with my name on it, and I knew that this long sleeve tee was just waiting to come home with me. I often wear navy and pink at work, it fels fresh and peppy, and evokes a casual college style that I love.

Do you love navy and wear it often? Do stripes make your heart sing?
Love Navy. Love YOU!
ReplyDeleteEspecially so, because you are wearing my favourite striped dress xx
I love navy, and I'm told it suits me and brings out the colour in my (blue) eyes. That said, I don't have all that much of it in my wardrobe - I think I need to do something about that pronto!
ReplyDeleteI adore navy and pink together and I adore you in it! Thanks for joining Wardrobe Wednesday x

ReplyDeleteLove the post! Navy is awesome and I love your outfits. I love a bit of preppy style too. I have a tan handbag on my wishlist at the moment which will go nicely with jeans and a navy blazer. Mmm spring dreaming...

ReplyDeleteIt's a 'Yes' from me for the fab navy dress too! Looks like one in Seed, so classic yet on-trend x
ReplyDeleteNavy and pink looks so good together. I bought a navy and white skirt today. Maybe I need a pale pink top to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI used to wear navy everyday as a plumber so I rarely would wear it outside of work. But now... I love it and I totally dig stripes. :)
