Oh, just another day of the usual SUZ PERFECTION.

Move along.

You look fab, Suz! I love the dark blue with the distressed denim, the contrast is interesting but subtle.

Casual drool-worthiness.

Fantastic! I too love the darker top with the lighter jeans. You have such a good understanding of the details needed to make the outfit so successful--fluid fit of the sweater, the belt and booties. Cold weather outfit perfection!

Suz - I absolutely love this!! Easy, effortless, chic!! I love monochromatic and it never occurred to me not to wear navy with jeans. Your jeans are very similar to my Lucky Brand Lola Skinnies which I have always bought one size up because I have always preferred a skimming fit. Also when I could not find slouchy boyfriends with a tapered ankle I bought these 2 sizes up and they were perfect. They come in 3 lengths and beware stretch. I like mine without otherwise they fit like your typical Skinnies. Great outfit!!

gryffin, that could be my perfect pair! I like mine without stretch, too. Hmm I am going to have to do a bit of sleuthing. Thank you! I noticed your mention of this brand on Viva's thread the other day and was already curious to know more. Thank you for the reminder.

Thanks also for the kind words, all. And K.Can. you are so right about Elizabeth -- I, too, value her intelligent and thoughtful posts and the way she's always clear about what she's trying to say. And she did not say it was a rule about blues. I think I got to feeling a bit odd about it because I realized that I wear blues with denim all the time now, but I used to feel the way she does!! And I couldn't think when or how that changed. It does depend very much on the blue, of course.

I have a pair of Lucky Lola Skinnies -- they might work for you sized up.

Suz as Angie says this is a killer look for you. I think blues with blue denim look amazing. I have even given it a try myself but I missed my black:) For me though its not the just colours together it's the actual pieces that we combine. This outfit is very modern, fresh and chic. It has an elegance and an air of the classic to me.

@Suz, Ah ha! You were a (some time ago in the past) convert, aye? How funny! Welcome to my side of the great blue/denim divide. (wicked laugh) Seriously, blue is such a great color for us blondes, I cannot image not wearing it with denim. I suspect your fabulousness might even sway a few of the unconverted.

Stylish and no non-sense, very nicely executed!

Beautiful combo! I have found that with all the variations of blue denim out there, the ones I have don't work very well with my blue tops. My denim jeans have a weird undertone that somehow clashes.

I missed this thread earlier, since I spent the day in travel.

I adore navy, and would wear more if it weren't for the wide range of navy tones that clash and fight with one another. I also love a rich sapphire, deeper than cobalt and brighter than ink.

Navy is softer on the skin, but still gives depth and contrast to blue jeans. This is a terrific work-from home look!

This is one of those deceptively simple outfits, but the key here is that every aspect is so well done. The fit of your jeans is perfect. Personally I like navy with faded denim, so I love the cashmere sweater with it. And then the little bit of animal print from your belt and the glossy boots are delightful finishing touches.

This outfit is simple, but simply perfect.

You have all my favorite elements on (except BLING but that's fine). I love navy and denim (all blues) and the leopard belt cinches it (pun intended). I'll be going for a blue out this weekend in honor of this.

Another fab outfit, Suz! I can see why you love those slonchy skinnies! I cannot find a pair with that slounch for the life of me!:-((

I always love a column of color, so I actually very much love navy/ink (and grey) paired with denim. I would just pay attention not to have shade which clashes somehow (as you also said) with the shade of the denim I am wearing. But your navy sweater looks great with these skinnies! AND esp love the grey animal belt! (I have bought one similar for my DD, as it matches somehow the fadings, isn't it?)

Although navy suits me well, unfortunatelly I don't wear lot of jeans nowadays, so have only a few piece of all kinds of clothing item navy or ink and pair them rather with whites in summer (but have more in greys, as they go better with my lighter jeans and blacks, too).

Not sure how I missed this earlier but I also see nothing wrong at all with blue with denim and this outfit is a perfect example of why it works so well. I really enjoyed your response to Ramya about what elevates this from frumpy to fabby - so absolutely fantastic both analytically and visually!
