Blazer: Forever 21 (similar), Tank top: Forever 21, Jeans: Rag & Bone, Heels: Nine West (old, love these and these), Purse: Danielle Nicole, Bracelet: C. Wonder (similar), Necklaces: Forever 21 (steal here, splurge here) and Poshmark (love this one)

I love the women in my family dearly, but somewhere along the way I was taught that it was a major fashion faux pas to mix navy blue and black. They were made for two totally separate outfits and you just didn't put them together. And then one day I woke up and realized that this was not only a tad bit old fashioned (sorry mom), but also just plain silly. How could they not belong when I just love them together so much?

Fast forward to present day and you have this outfit. I've been wanting to give the black and blue combo a try so badly lately and figured it was the perfect opportunity -- especially given that I finally found the most amazing pair of coated denim after months of searching. I'm absolutely obsessed with how sleek this Rag & Bone pair is and I love that they're a little edgier than regular jeans, which is always a plus in my book.

Do you still abide by any old fashioned style rules like this one? Ya know, similar to the no white after Labor Day thing?

XO,
Alison

  7. I was the same way. But there's just something about mixing the two. They almost blend and become Midnight Blue (my all-time favorite Crayola color!)

  9. First off, your hair is looking all sorts of awesome lady - long and fiery! I keep trying to convince my mom that she needs to let go of the whole black and navy don't mix notion too; how could such chic shades not go together?!

    ps - I owe you an email! xx
