In Style’s “soft” navy and white example
From what I gathered in the In Style Pump Up Your Volume article, the “soft” outfit for each neutral mix consists of the two neutral colors plus a dash of the accent color. The “medium” examples are about a 50/50 split between the neutrals and accents and the “all-out” relegates the neutrals to accent status. It’s a neat approach for someone trying to incorporate more color into their wardrobe.
Today, I’ve used just the smallest bit of purple, in my hair and at the neckline. Such restraint is entirely unlike me. And I never would have thought to accent navy with purple before seeing the inspiration outfit.
No watch here because I didn't think to add it until I took the final picture

Wow. You look great. The purple accents really work.
ReplyDeletei LOVE those shoes.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! Love the navy and purple!
ReplyDeleteYeah, this outfit is really nice. That shade of purple goes so well with the navy. Love the headband.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the belt?
ReplyDeleteOops - sorry! The belt is from The Limited, last year.
ReplyDeleteGood choice on the background, I really believe the effect would have been lost with the yellow wall.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!!!
The purple works surprisingly well. Really, your risks rarely fail. Also, that dress looks great hemmed. I have the same dress in black and in navy (both solid) and I never wear them because they're so long. I'm definitely getting crafty this weekend.
