Obviously, Angie's recent post about combining navy, peach, and brown was the inspiration! The only peach in my closet is this silk blush top, which leans more towards the peach than pink end of the spectrum (although the colour isn't showing up right in the pics...I've noticed blush is the most difficult one to photograph). It's quite low cut, with neat seaming and a little peplum that reminds me a bit of ballet costumes and corsets and other such things, and while I have no problem wearing it on its own in appropriate settings (it makes me feel feminine but grown up), a lazy Sunday did not seem quite that setting. Thus I added a navy cardigan over top, with its ribbons capturing a bit of the girly feel of the now almost entirely hidden top. I have two pairs of navy trousers: these jeans and lighter pair with polka dots. The weather was chilly enough that I welcomed the extra insulation of the denim, so jeans it was. For brown accessories, I put a belt on under the cardigan (these jeans are tight enough that adding waist definition feels like overkill) and brown socks. When I went on my walk, I wore my hiking boots, but in retrospect I should've gone with my mid-calf brown lace ups. Oh well! And I forgot to add any jewelry; my mind has been a bit scattered lately.

I felt comfy in this outfit, although quite mainstream too. I would have blended in well had I needed to go to a mall, I think. I think if I were going to try this combination again, I'd swap out the jeans for my navy blue skirt. And I'd probably pick a different topper, one that ends higher so that the peplum on the blouse is visible. But I didn't have a navy blue option that met that description, and I wanted to work within the 'constraints' (although of course Angie herself is the first to tell us to adapt, so the constraints were completely artificial and self-imposed). Even if I wouldn't put this in my greatest hits category, I still felt good in it.
