I think of it as a bit lighter than navy. But I'll add it, pronto!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263777 Fri, 20 May 2022 14:23:34 +0000 JAileen 2263777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s so great so see your navy items. &nbsp;We have some of the same or similar items - FitFlop sandals, stripes - hey where’s your butterfly scarf? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263716 Thu, 19 May 2022 16:45:45 +0000 rachylou 2263716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do see navy as the ultimate spring colour…! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263714 Thu, 19 May 2022 16:40:00 +0000 BlueJay 2263714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of really great items! I could shop <i>your</i> closet. haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263705 Thu, 19 May 2022 16:03:01 +0000 Suz 2263705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, definitely Queen Blue. It's funny, because I used to laugh at my dad for wearing almost no other colour. Now I get it!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> you're right -- some are essentials, some are completers, and some are statements, and I think that's part of why it is easy to get dressed. I can mix and match from outside the blues capsule with other items.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carla,</b> you know what? That top is a little trickier for me and on me than for some. It's poly, for one thing. And for another, all that draping on my small chest is not the best look. I <b>DO</b> love the narrow V, though -- so rare to find it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LJP</b>, thanks for reminding me of POMP!! I need to check out whether they've got a dress that might work!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Violet, Joy, Rachy</b> -- so interesting that some change neutrals with the seasons! I can see how navy might fit more easily into spring summer for many.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, I love a black and white pattern, too, as long as it is scaled to me. It's fab with grey hair!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263704 Thu, 19 May 2022 16:00:21 +0000 Laurie 2263704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a terrific collection, Suz.

I do like it , and if my need for a broader wardrobe was there I’d have more of it . At one point it was heavily represented in coats , footwear , bags , blazers , pants , you name it . I did just add a new woven t-shirt &nbsp;from POMP in a dark &nbsp;indigo blue to my wardrobe and am looking forward to wearing it this summer .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263643 Thu, 19 May 2022 03:17:42 +0000 VioletMyra 2263643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy and pale grey are my hot weather neutrals and that's because when I team them with crisp white I feel cooler. (Burgundy and dark chocolate brown are my cold weather neutrals.) Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263642 Thu, 19 May 2022 03:09:35 +0000 rachylou 2263642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy is my alternate dark neutral. I realise I don’t do dark grey. I should get back on the hunt for a navy skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263640 Thu, 19 May 2022 02:26:30 +0000 Jaime 2263640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ideally I would also have navy as my dark neutral. It just makes a huge improvement in how I look (to my eye, the only eye that matters). Because of the nature of the way I accumulate clothing, I can't always get exactly what I want, but am slowly working up to it. And I do still like the impact of a black and white combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263630 Thu, 19 May 2022 00:31:22 +0000 Anonymous 2263630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have lost tack of how many shades of navy I have. &nbsp;One is sort of a navy/cobalt blend called sapphire. &nbsp;It looks good with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263629 Thu, 19 May 2022 00:23:05 +0000 Anonymous 2263629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Navy is my dark neutral about half the year, like now in spring. &nbsp;White is my light neutral right now. &nbsp;I am trying to put together a small travel capsule of navy , white and coral for 11 days with a carry on. &nbsp; A year and pink or peach is my go to sping combo, but summer will be here soon although we have a 99% chance of several inches of snow over this weekend. &nbsp; A year is also my dark neutral for fall too although more often paired with earth tones like rust or brown or olive. &nbsp;Late fall joins navy more with black or dark brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263620 Wed, 18 May 2022 20:37:25 +0000 Suz 2263620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my side of cobalt...the tartan skirt swings both ways because it's really cobalt and black predominant but that tends to read as navy if desired.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-navy-reporting-for-duty-with-a-side-of-cobalt#post-2263619 Wed, 18 May 2022 20:34:22 +0000 Suz 2263619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it%e2%80%99s-been-a-good-year-for-navy%e2%80%a6">Carla's thread </a>about her navy purchases this year got me thinking about how dominant navy is in my wardrobe. I posted Finds on her thread and then realized I'd missed a bunch of items. This is just my navy/ ink or navy predominant items, mind you. I also have a lot of items with a white or grey dominant background and smatterings of navy in the pattern. And I've left my dark denim out of this collection, too, even though it more or less counts. I just edited out a few navy items, also, or this collection would have been even larger!&nbsp;</p> <p>The first six items were purchased this year -- the rest go back to 2014. Navy has longevity in my closet and I often look for a replacement item before the current navy essential wears out.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also a huge royal or cobalt fan, too, but it's more an accent.&nbsp;</p> <p>Navy's my dark neutral and almost all my essentials are in navy (and denim). I have almost no black in my closet apart from footwear and a couple of tops and coats.&nbsp;</p> <p>Who else has navy as their dark neutral?&nbsp;</p>
