Navy blue is a colour I've come to love in recent times. I initially started to wear more navy blue when I started working full time because it was a fabulous substitute for black. As I've become very comfortable in my workplace environment my work outfits have become excessively colourful but my love for navy blue has remained. It's a very classy and sophisticated colour. I also adore the way it looks against brown hair. It's versatile and looks great combined with pretty much any colour. One of the aspects I love about this look is that it incorporates pattern mixing in a subtle way. This style of outfit paves the way to potentially bolder pattern mixing combinations in the future. Although abstract, the cardigan displays a floral pattern. By carrying on the navy blue theme through the outfit, a connection is established. The shoes are also floral (upon styling this outfit I realised that I should wear these flats much more often) so I like that the polka dots sit between two floral pieces. The colour mix coupled with the pearl buttons creates a lovely finish to the cardigan. It's great to wear this skirt for the first time. I've had it lying around the house for so many months now. It was missing a button and I finally got around to addressing this. I can't believe it took me so long to performe the extremely simple task of sewing a button on a skirt. I'm looking forward to creating many looks featuring this skirt which primarily feature red or pink.
It's been such a busy week! The good news is that I survived my on campus week at law college (the course now becomes online) and I've completed all the requirements for the first week. Small steps are the way to go. I'm much happier now it's over and I'm back at work. Thanks so much for all your support.

This cardigan is so so cool! What a neat print. I love how that abstract floral print looks with the polka dots. Navy blue is one of my favorite colors. I love it because it's a neutral while still being a color - if that makes any sense. Plus I always feel like it looks good with my red hair!
I loved your blog
Great work

Good pattern mixing Imogen! I love the outfit :-) Navy blye is my go-to color for work wear or college presentations too. It's more colorful than black and still subtle enough to look "official" haha :) xo
Imogen, you have such a cute style about you, unique... which I like.. you don't follow the leader, you are a leader... the blue looks great :)
I used to buy a lot of black, but now I do like Navy too. Polka dots are a fav!!
Adorable style as always. Your skirt is very cute.

The polka dots are so fun paired with the floral cardigan. I love your top bun too- so cute!!
Imogen,
I haven't worn navy blue in a long time. I should put that color in my wardrobe again. I love the polka dot skirt, as I am a polka dot girl too. The pearl buttons on the cardigan are sweet.
It's time to get new spring clothes, and coming over here always inspires me.
Love,
~Sheri
The florals and polka dots look great together! :) Love that skirt, it's adorable :)
Glad your first week at uni went well, hope you continue to enjoy the course now it's online :)

You look so pretty in navy! And you are really the best in combining patterns and colours, I really can't think of anyone who masters this better :) Funny that you say you feel navy blue looks good on you because you're a brunette, because I'm a blonde and I think exactly the same haha. But I guess it looks great on everybody! xx
Navy blue looks amazing on you! :)

You look so pretty in your chic skirt and this color blue looks beautiful on you! Best, CD. ican'taffordmylifestyle
I too tend to gravitate toward navy when I want to look professional, but am not yet comfortable wearing bright colors. I just think it's a little softer and more accessible than black sometimes. :)

I don't know how you do this bun, I just know it's amazing! You look really sweet and beautiful, very polished up! I like navy blue, I just don't have many pieces in the color. I loved your top, I think it would go well with pink, like you said. Congrats for having finished the camp, and I hope you can relax a bit this week/weekend! denisesplanet com

This outfit is so whimsical! And I definitely agree with you about the navy! It always seemed to be the perfect boundary color between corporate life and regular life.
Also, your bun looks perfect!
I love the bold colors on the cardigan and shoes and how they're "muted" by the navy background! Happy for you that the return to school went well!
