So lets back up a couple weeks... I was at Whole Foods, getting lunch. I saw a woman in a sophisticated navy suit with a off-white cami underneath. She looked effortlessly chic, and I really appreciated that the suit was navy and not black! I was inspired and suddenly on the hunt for the perfect navy pants (I don't regularly wear suits to work so I opted for just pants). Of course, the Loft had several navy pairs to choose from. I ended up with
this pair -- currently 40% off. (Can I just say the Loft's 'Julie' is my new favorite fit, I used to be a '
Marissa' girl... ) So then, last weekend I ran into L&T just to buy some cosmetics and I ended up with this vest. I was naturally tempted to buy it in black, you know my go-to color. But I decided to be wild, branch out and try something new: this soft baby blue. Plus, I loved the navy lining and just knew I had to pair it with my new
navy dress pants.
I'm was so excited when I recently found this new line - H Halston - at Lord & Taylor!
Some Most of the pieces were screaming my name, like this
suede shift dress and this
v-neck dress.. (I've shared my other favorite picks below.) I can't wait to shop the collection a bit more.
I hope you can appreciate that this 'work-ready' looks doesn't involve any black. Maybe navy is new black? Nah, not yet....
