They'll add interest to the pretty navy coat you're considering (great choice, btw). A scarf can add interest, too, along these lines, with those same colors. A black and white print or a classic Burberry-style camel plaid come to mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-confused-about-color-choices#post-1693514 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:56:15 +0000 Gaby Meyers 1693514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies, I do think the red color family would be a good choice, and I'm sure easy enough to find in many shades as you suggested. I do like the idea of mustard also, it's not as expected and would be a great pop of color as well. And definitely thanks for the clarification, I did think you meant ditch the navy coat and go for all items in the reddish family. That being said you did open my mind to not getting so stuck on one idea. Before making any final choices I'm going to have fun looking. &nbsp;Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-confused-about-color-choices#post-1693027 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 18:32:18 +0000 Angie 1693027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa and Suz have you sorted, Gaby.

My life and style is very casual, jeans are my go to pants during the fall and winter.<br />Right now I like the Canada Goose Slim Fit Shelburne Parka in navy. Navy is a good color for me since I have grey hair. I'm also planning on new ankle boots and new cross body bag. Aquatalia has a Farin boot in the Nordstrom Anniversary sale that looks attractive and&nbsp;comes in several colors. &nbsp;My question is this: I get very confused about what color my accessories should be. Several bag designers are showing navy bags this season, is navy coat and bag too much? I don't want to dress boring nor do I want to be all over the place. &nbsp;Can you provide some guidelines on what color should my booties and bag be should I get the navy coat? Also what about gloves? </p>
