Navy + Black

When I was a middle school darling, one of the most frequently heard sayings around was: "DO NOT WEAR NAVY WITH BLACK." Why I was trusting my Hollister-wearing friends with clothing advice is beyond me; yet they did have a point. In fashion, it once became a (very) spoken rule to steer clear from pairing the colors together. But, this season I am all about breaking that and owning the contrast. Pairing these colors together has been one of my favorite looks this winter, but it can also turn into a train wreck when not thought through.

An easy way to pair navy and black together is by adding day-time and night-time pieces together for a casually-chic look. The cozy vibe of leggings and a sweater can be played up by adding black booties and a statement necklace. The navy color of the leggings with contrast against the solid black of the booties, while the gold zippers on the hips match the necklace. This season is all about incorporating non-traditional trends and breaking the rules, so why not start yourself off with an easy one? Until next time!

P.S. These ZARA leggings are one of my latest obsessions, as well as being high up on my Christmas list this year! Hmm... future blog post perhaps?!
