I maybe lied a little
yesterday. My navy and white wrap dress wasn’t actually my first item of navy clothing. Way back in 2003, I bought a navy suit to prepare for upcoming interviews as I transitioned back to civilian life. It wasn’t difficult to incorporate into my wardrobe, though, because it has black pinstripes and is trimmed in black lace. For interviews, I paired it with a black tank and black pumps without a second thought.
I rarely wear the jacket, though. It seems too big or too formal or both for everyday work. I only whip it out for interviews.

Love the orange! Really makes the outfit pop.
ReplyDeleteQuestion - I've seen you wear those cute black patent mary jane pumps from Target a few times and am thinking of getting a pair myself. From one gal to another, are they comfy?? Thanks for the help!
Chel - I've had the same problem with those mary janes as I've had with another pair of round-toe pumps from Target - my feet slide to the end and my toes end up crushed. You might want to try to find a narrower width or add some sort of grippy insole so that doesn't happen to you!
