Lookbook: Navy and Black

People tend to think navy and black don't mix. In truth, combining navy and black shows a real sense of style. Just don't wear navy and black together if the navy is so dark that it almost looks black. It will look like you got dressed in the dark!

Navy and black combinations were big last year; the subtle contrast is smart for the office or evening. When I go for this look, I tend to wear the black on the bottom to mask my problem areas. Black definitely has a slimming effect. Also, it looks like I need to iron that blouse!
