I keep hearing that navy is the new black. Then again, I keep hearing that [insert color/pattern here] is the new black so I guess it doesn’t mean too much… OR it just means people can be more daring with color combinations! And I’m all in although my black and tan outfit above doesn’t exactly demonstrate that. When Matt gave me this crossbody for our anniversary, I fell in love immediately. I’d been dying to add a navy bag to my closet. It’s like he sees me online shop every day while he watches baseball (on 3 devices simultaneously) or something. That’s a good midwestern boy for you, ladies! Knowing that he adores when I wear things he gives me, I planned an outfit around the bag!
Anthropologie peplum top (similar, similar without sleeves), Hudson jeans, BCBG heels (these would have looked better!), J.Crew belt (similar), Alexander McQueen sunglasses, Vince Camuto bag, Kate Spade anchor ring, La Mer watch (obsessed with this)

Love the bag, good job Matt! Also really like the black & tan & white combo. Neutrals are the new black. ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Great outfit — I love that you planned it around the bag! I recently wore black + tan together, too. I think the combo is unexpected and can look quite chic. :)
