You are so right about very thin pinstripes being chameleon-like and very useful. I like the idea of wearing the false-plain verions of navy as your work-appropriate denim substitute--good thinking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-navy-and-mauvy-blush#post-1581306 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:30:54 +0000 Suz 1581306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-navy-and-mauvy-blush#post-1581239 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 18:35:24 +0000 Bonnie 1581239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful navy, burgundy, blush capsule. I really like the tartan pants, blush cable turtleneck, and burgundy booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-navy-and-mauvy-blush#post-1581220 Sat, 07 Nov 2015 17:24:53 +0000 unfrumped 1581220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to Angie for this blog post. I really liked this ensemble post because I've tried to find items in a "cool" or mauvy-blush as a light neutral&nbsp; that works better for me than white, cream or beige. I have a lot of burgundy and so I either mix burgundy and blush with black, or branch out a bit into navy. Typical navy or ink are still not good face colors so are more for bottoms, sometimes not by choice but&nbsp;because navy has become ubiquitous! So it's important for the navy items to serve a particular purpose--like the midi skirt (style was available only in navy) or a suble pattern as noted below, or good fit and fabric that I haven't found in black or gray or any particularly better color. </p> <p>In the Finds are a sleeveless collared top for layering, my NAS cardigan, and a CeCe cotton sweater, all somewhat "cooler" than classic blush.These give some variety from gray as a light neutral and can also be mixed with some grays.</p> <p>Often, I like my navy items to be "softened," same as I might aim for in black, by having a subtle pinstripe or false plain. For example, I have some AT mildly-bootcut trousers in a soft navy pinstripe that have proved very versatile. What I find with the bit of "light"&nbsp;thread in the pinstripe or tattersall&nbsp;is that it can read "indeterminate"--it can skew gray, or camel, or&nbsp;blush&nbsp;depending on what you put next to it.&nbsp; <br />I think also the "softer"&nbsp;look of a subtly patterned navy&nbsp;has some of the chameleon properties of denim, while still being not-denim, for work.<br />The AT suit is a tweedy navy and the LOFT navy top has a tiny leaf in a beige that can "read" as blush. That's also why I added these Talbots navy windowpane trousers.</p> <p>The items below are not one tight capsule all together, as some tops are targeted for other&nbsp;bottoms and vice versa, &nbsp;but just some fairly recent items plus some older items, that work in with other wardrobe items, but give the sort of&nbsp; color&nbsp;palette options Angie showed.</p>
