Never royal blue, never powder blue, but this lady is crazy for NAVY blue! The darker the better, on the verge of black – but it isn’t black! Somehow it sings spring, and whispers a promise of summer…..it looks great with white, coral, or hot pink! Ginger would have worn navy with red accents, but for me that’s too predictable….This dress is one of the navy additions to my spring wardrobe – on sale at Ann Taylor, made of nylon and spandex, and actually feels like neoprene (scuba suit material)….it has a wide band of black at the waist, otherwise very simple and comfortable…..here I topped it with a fabulous sweater from one of my favorite shops, Calypso….there is one on Newbury Street and one in Chestnut Hill….even though their clothes are bohemian and ‘beachy’, you can take a piece like this coral cardigan and wear it different ways…. Ginger’s gold beads are a regular ‘go to’ item for me….while I will also wear trendy costume jewelry, I like a classic look when it’s time to convey a serious image….

This lady is also singing about her blue suede shoes! Aren’t they sexy?? Believe it or not, they are also comfortable – I walked through LaGuardia airport in them and had them on all day…(ok, it was good to finally take them off…) Found them this year at Mad About Shoe in Winchester…

The air smells like spring, the blossoms are in full bloom against the blue sky, and I am embracing my BLUE clothes! How about you?? Are you in the black rut?? Come sing the blues with me!!!! Haha….
