A navy blue skirt is possibly the easiest of the wardrobe staples to wear. Such a versatile piece it can be worn to the office with a shirt & pumps or vamped up with a silk cami & strappy heels for a special evening event.
Additionally, a chic yet casual look for Summer can be achieved with a simple white T-shirt & Greek sandals. Would you agree my case for adding this skirt to your hard working wardrobe is strong?
Speaking of which…

Reasons to Dress (@reasonstodress)
I am so flattered by your wonderful words! And I LOVE THIS COMBO!! A woman that knows how to style complementary colours is lady of style in my book. I’m so proud to have you as the #reasonstodress linkup co-host this week! And I can’t wait to share you on social media throughout the next few days!

What can I say Angie? The feeling is mutual xxx

You have no idea Michelle how much I love your pumps! I want some too:) And love your link-up too… xx Abby

Hey Abby! These are probably the highest pair of shoes I own & every time I wear them I wonder how the hell I’ll walk in them. You know what? They are actually really easy to walk in! Weird?
Regarding my first time co-hosting a linkup – It’s so exciting! I was a little nervous about the technical side but Angie is a fantastic tutor & talked me through it step by step. Although I have to admit to a mini meltdown when I awoke to RCM crashed this morning. Wtf??? As you know the blog has been testing me technically recently in all manner of ways. Almost pulled my hair out at times – bald fashion blogger HAhahaha

Loving this pop of mango! It’s the perfect accent color against the skirt! Adorable!
retrochicmama
Hi Johanna great to see you popped over to RCM!
I have to say I love that you called the colour Mango, wish I’d thought of that 😉

Michelle,
This post has highlighted a phenomenon that I knew existed but never really thought too much about.
Until this moment.
Some people (especially women) just have a natural beauty.
I mean, that effortlessness.
That delicate femininity that just oozes timeless style.
You have that.
In spades.

P.S Oh, and Navy and orange gets my colour-vote, every time :oD
retrochicmama
Cor Blimey woman what an incredible thing to say! Thank you Samantha you’re very kind xxx
I see that beauty you’re talking about in all women – Is it because I’m a make up artist? Or… did I choose that particular career path because I see natural beauty in all women?
I don’t know it’s a chicken & egg kinda question 😉
I know one thing for sure, when a woman has self confidence she shines.

Spotted your look on Instagram and had to stop by and tell you how much I love it! The orange and navy look so pretty on you! Such a lovely combo!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

No Fear of Fashion
Hah… that is fun. Of course I will join you. Hobnobbing with the British for a change instead of the Americans or Canadians. I could so live in Great Britain, but I also love The Netherlands. How about winning the jackpot and buying a second home in GB??? A girl can dream…
Anyway… I think you look great in your orange with blue. You will turn heads. (Even though the shoes are fantastic, it must have been a little cold during the photo shoot haha.)

Or we can do a house swap! Ok if I leave my kids though? Hahaha
Sheela Goh
I realised I’ve already gushed over this outfit in your IG feed, Michelle, but I do feel that it warrants a second fan-girl moment 🙂 I honestly would never have thought of pairing navy with tangerine!! When I think the former, it’s almost always associated with either a warm pink or a zesty chartreuse 🙂 so as clichéd as it may sound, thank you for the inspiration. This is certainly something I’ll be experimenting with and soon xo
retrochicmama
I have to agree Sheela pink is beautiful with navy. My problem is that pink doesn’t look good against my skin so I always avoid pink toned tops. I’m so pleased you got something from my post, that really is the best part of blogging xxx

What a great color combo! You look fab 🙂
