navy







{sweater: Urban Outfitters; skirt: GAP (bought in-store, similar); hat, rings: Free People;
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.

navy & wine







{skirt: Madewell (love this Free People knit one); necklace tee: J.Crew (love this necklace); 

I picked up this cute beanie (or, as we Canadians call it, toque) at Urban Outfitters recently.  As I've said, I'm stocking up since winter will be here in a few days.  (Clearly the snow couldn't wait!)  It's a great (and cheap) way of adding a special touch to your outfit.  Just because you have to bundle up, doesn't mean you can't look good doing so!  I love the colour of this one and it's super soft.  This Madewell skirt has been sitting on my floor for a while now because I wanted to pair it with a bright pink sweater I have, but I have yet to iron it.  So I thought it was time to wear it since I probably will never iron that sweater (or at least not any time soon).  I wanted to wear my new toque and thought this J.Crew necklace tee was a perfect match because obviously the colour matches, but also the blue stripes and necklace on the tee pick up the blue stripe on the skirt.  I find I look most put together when I match my pieces, but I try not to go overboard.
