Ebony and Iv-, I mean Navy






















No longer a fashion faux pas, wearing navy and black together is the epitome of sophisticated chic. Check out Kerry Washington in an adorable navy shift dress with a giant black belt. Navy and black are the perfect match, as long as you do it properly. Pick a navy base, like a cute dress or top, and add black patent accessories, or some jet black jewelry.

This Sunner Ruffle Neck Tunic is fun and feminine without being too prissy. And the light-weight cotton voile keeps things casual. Pair it with black wide leg trousers, or a skinny pencil skirt. Switch the fabric belt for a skinny black patent one, and you have yourself an outfit.









The new wave of structured wool dresses makes getting dressed in the morning so much easer. And this Becca Dress by Theory is a great alternative for work because you don't have to worry about covering up with a cardigan.










Mesh is coming back, and in a fun youthful way. (Not your grandma in black-tie kinda way.) Look for it with unfinished edges, layered over other fabrics, or gathered to create texture, like in this Nanette Lepore 'Cappella' Top.
