We're thinking that navy is the new black. :) I mean, it's a great neutral to pair with stripes or polka dots (or neons for Spring!) but it's not as serious as black. We are absolutely loving navy right now, so Elsie and I decided to show off our navy-love with two outfits: one totally casual and one a little more office-chic!
I layered a denim dress over a long-sleeve top. I like layering this time of year because the weather is beginning to warm up, but can still be a bit unpredictable. And I love how the stripes on my top added a little more interest to my otherwise neutral outfit. I'm a little crazy for stripes right now-obsession!
Emma's wearing: Dress/Threadsence, Top c/o StyleMint (first time buyers get 20% off your first T with the code MESSY20, offer good through 2/29), Shoes c/o Lotta from Stockholm, Hat/Vintage, Bag c/o Kelly Moore.
Elsie's navy look is a little more dressy and polished-I love how she added a bright belt to the mix. Cute! What colors do you find yourself mixing in to your outfits lately? xo. emma and elsie
Elsie's wearing: Top c/o Lace Affair, Skirt c/o 11 Eureka, Shoes c/o Lotta from Stockholm.
So cute!! I need more navy in my life. Love Elsie's top :)

I love the layering look! I just did some stripes layering myself today.
I love how red Elsie's belt is! I need that in a lipstick color :)

I wish I had a sister to do sister-style with! I love both outfits and Emma has inspired me to experiment with layering. I just bought a pair of navy tights and I love them!

I'm really into pairing black and blue together! Granted, I tend to wear black (almost) daily, so it was bound to happen sooner or later haha.
Denim shirt, black jeans, red platforms, turquoise anything = bliss

That navy blouse with the bow is absolute perfection! I've been loving navy lately, but I wish I had a little more to work with in my wardrobe. I've also found myself drawn more and more to greens lately (especially jewel tones).

First of all, that ombre hair style on your sister is killer! Second, you both look adorable :)
Oh - Fancy That.

I know you guys just did a fabulous piece on doing great outfit posts. I'd love to see you expound sometime soon on how to find the perfect pose. You two both look so relaxed in front of the camera! You're so beautiful, but I never feel like you'd be intimidating in real life.
Posted by: Mac | February 27, 2012 at 11:02 PM
You two look beautiful. I have never given navy much thought, but after seeing this post I realize how versatile it is. I need to start incorporating it into some outfits. I have been wearing a lot of black recently and need to spice it up.
Posted by: Allison | February 27, 2012 at 11:09 PM
you both look so so amazing. can't decide which one i like more!
Posted by: Joy | February 27, 2012 at 11:18 PM
