navy

boots (black): Marc by Marc Jacobs; sunglasses: Prada}
 
I recently read that navy looks great on brunettes so when I saw this sweater at Urban Outfitters I had to try it on, but then almost passed up trying it on because I liked a few other things better and thought, it's just a navy blue sweater.  But then when I tried it on I thought, wow they were right.  I have some navy items but I never really paid attention too much about what colours look best on me because I pretty much will wear anything (and then sometimes later realize maybe it wasn't the best colour for me to wear).  That's what's great about having a blog, you can see what works and what does not.  (Of course at the time I think it works, or even hesitate but still wear it anyway.)  Anyway, for you brunettes out there, the other colours that I can recall were bright pink, white/cream and light yellow.

fall pastels

I walked into Topshop and gravitated toward all of the beautiful pastel sweaters.  I love that pastels are a big trend right now because I love the idea of wearing them all year round.  As I've said a million times on my blog, I'm not a fan of wearing all black and because it's almost winter (which I'm also not a big fan of), I think we should be wearing more colour to get us through these dark times.  (Literally.  It's dark when I leave the house and super dark by the time I get home.)  I love the idea of pairing a pastel with another pastel, but I decided to keep it simple and paired it with black pants and grey accessories, which is a nice way of easing into the trend.
