I suppose it’s gauche of a married lady to talk about old boyfriends, but one of my college beaus had a significant impact on my perception of color. He loved to pair both orange and blue and brown and blue. I’ve worn the blue and orange combination to death, but I less often combine blue with brown. I think it’s tricky to combine a royal or navy blue with brown and not have the result look muddy. This is one of the few times I think I’ve been successful.
Hair today is a messy French twist secured with a hairstick. Londyn’s comment on my last blazer/long skirt/boots combo made me realize that I should wear my hair up when I’ve covered everything else, so that I don’t get lost beneath fabric and hair

Your hair looks gorgeous like that!
And I love the blue and brown combo! Nice work!
I am 8 months pregnant with my 3rd child and have recently stumbled upon your blog. I must say, that even though I am anxious to meet my new son, I am really ready to have this baby so that I can have a waist line again. I love your blog and you have inspired me to completely recreate my wardrobe once I do have the baby and drop about 40lbs!
Oh and I now miss having red hair.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit! Great job!

i LOVE LOVE LOVE blue with brown! you are completely rockin' it here! i often pair a rich slate blue with chocolate brown, but your navy makes me think of another shirt i can use! thanks!
Fab outfit and the exposed neck and sliver of knee showing make it funky and youthful!
The white lace is an excellent choice. It provides a good visual (and tactile) contrast to the heavier fabrics.

I like royal blue and brown. I've got a silk scarf with those colors and have used it as a sash with a solid brown dress. I will also use brown accessories, such as shoes and/or a bag (I was raised by a old-school mother) with a navy dress or skirt suit.
