WIW: Navy and Orange

JAileen

I wore 1-2 to church this Sunday. I wore 3, a similar version of this outfit earlier this month. The orange jacket is Pendleton double faced wool.

I also wore my new navy Naturalizer flats. They have a slight metallic sheen. I've received eight or nine pairs, and these are the only ones that fit and felt good. Most of the others were too loose in the heel.

What a wonderful outfit! I must save it to copy if you don't mind, although I do not have those fab navy loafers. I will have to make do with snake or gold. You make me want a wool orange blazer. Mine is a cotton blend and not warm enough this year for late October or November unless wearing a silk base layer.

Nice! I like your pumpkin pin on the jacket. Your jacket looks red on my monitor which gives the outfit a sailor vibe, but with orange, in real life, the vibe is probably different.

Joy, thank you. I'm flattered you want to copy the outfit. I usually want to copy your outfits! I've had this jacket for more than five years, before I went grey. We've been having very chilly mornings, then nice warm afternoons, so the jacket is perfect for the mornings.

Sara, thank you. I made the pin in a community college art class. I'm very sad they don't offer it anymore. Here's another picture of the jacket with my red boiled wool jacket. So I guess it's not really pumpkin colored. But it is definitely orange.

I LOVE the navy flats. Gorgeous on you. Can you supply the Find?

The white jeans are totally fabulous here. Well done.

Your jacket reads red on my screen also. Nevertheless, it's a cute outfit! In Denver, I have to be careful wearing orange and navy together, as it can read Broncos, but you followed Angie's formula with the white, so I could probably copy it.

Looks so fresh; this combo feels very Dutch to me, reminds me of my grandmother.

You look lovely JAileen. It's a perfect example of Angie's point.

Dianna, thank you. I used to wear this with earth tones, but navy and white is a fun combo.

Dana, you're not a Broncos fan? Our local college's biggest rival is Boise State, and their colors are blue and orange, but royal blue rather than navy. I didn't attend the local university, but I root for them except when they play my alma mater, UC Davis. Go Ags!

Jane, Lisa, Cardiff Girl, Brooklyn, thank you so much.

LaP, thank you. I know the Netherlands' national color is orange, but I always think of blue and white. We had a Dutch neighbor who made me a painting of a traditional Dutch scene when I was a child. It's all in blue and white and features a wind mill.

Angie, the shoes are cushioned and the leather is very soft. I think they have a lot of promise. I like them better than my old loafers.

Shevia, Skylurker, thank you.

Angie, I have agree with you. I have big feet, and these shoes make them look normal. But of course the best part is comfort!

I love the flats. I might have to check them out - stylish flats are a major wardrobe hole for me due to slight Haglund deformity issue that I don't want to aggravate, but YFL has convinced be that the right pair is out there if you look harder enough. As apparently you had to with that many tries!

Do they run true to size? I see they come in Wide, which I need.

And every time you post a WIW with that purse I kick myself for not buying it at Macy's when I saw it there on a screaming deal. Aaaagh - You just made look for it on the Macy's website and now it is on sale. I may be about to lemming you later when I have time.

Karen, I ordered my normal size in the shoes. They are really comfy. As for the bag, you've mentioned it at least twice, so I think you might need it. I've used it nearly every day since I got it. The strap makes my plain every day outfits more interesting, and of course I love a crossbody. The best part is this bag is not precious. I don't worry about it.

ETA: I just got back from returning more shoes, to the Rack. I've kept these flats, and a pair of Adidas sneakers, and some flip flops.

I went to Macy's last week and sought it out. I love the pockets, the color and the strap. Sadly, it is too big for my purposes. I need it to be a about 9"x7". On 5'2" me it was not the answer. But I can still enjoy yours!
