Did you really think you'd go for longer than a few days without seeing this bag again? Well then you thought wrong. The last time I wore this bag, I asked you all to give me ideas on how to pair this bright color with the right colors in my wardrobe, and my darling curly-headed friend Mo from See Mo Go said navy. Upon reading that, I immediately thought "I will go to the mall and buy all the navy things." But I figured I'd go through my closet first, just in case I already owned something navy. Which was not likely, because I'm kind of afraid of navy. Don't ask. I don't have a good answer.

Turns out that I did have one, solitary navy item in my closet: a dress from Forever 21 from a few summers ago. As I mentioned, I've never really been into navy, but when you find a dress from Forever 21 that's length-appropriate, you don't ask questions or consult the color, you just buy it. It's actually a very nice summer dress with a ruffle neckline and spaghetti straps, but I had definitely written it off until at least May. 

But then I remembered colored tights. Colored tights made their way out of my wardrobe the day I wore magenta tights and Matt's eyes got all squinty-eyed, and he said I looked like I had a disease. You don't have to squint at me twice; colored tights were apparently a no go around Matt. But I pulled them out again, and Matt didn't even squint. Much. And he said I looked cute. I mean, I had to ask "How do I look?" and heavily hint that "cute" was the right answer, but I married a smart man... :)

    1. Thanks! It's something I honestly haven't really tried in a number of years, makes me feel like I'm in highschool, but I wore this with a black pea coat of the same length of the dress and it was really cute!

  7. Just found your blog and I'm in luuuuurve. Ok, youve just gotten yourself a brand new stalker. Let your husband know that you may need to hire some body guards... Actually this is starting to sound seriously creepy and I promise I'm not that. I just really really like your blog. :)

  8. I am new to your blog and I am really enjoying it. I love the navy combo. I think the teal belt also looks great with the pink (and the navy). Emerald green would also look good. Just in case you needed more options ;)
