IN THE NAVY

This week we are taking classic navy and white separates and showing just how different they can look - with Anne C going for a casual look and Anne H  taking the same colours but creating a much more sophisticated impression.

Clearly still in summer mood, Anne C has gone for one of her favourite linen staples with a navy top which could be worn as a short dress, but she has teamed it with white skinny jeans and plain white tee, leaving the buttons undone on the top.  The top is from a local boutique in Leeds called New Collection, jeggings from Florence & Fred at Tesco, and comfy white pumps from Primark - all very inexpensive!

Anne H chose an asymmetric top in cotton jersey from COS which is has a pleated front and deep V which gives a flattering silhouette.   She liked it so much she also bought the lovely baby pink one as well,  an unusual colour choice for her.  At only £49 it is top that she will get loads of wear out of both for day and evening. 

She has teamed it with Rozie jeans from her favourite brand 7 for All Mankind.  The length is just perfect for her 5ft 8inch frame and she is always watching out for the sales to stock up on their jeans, whatever the colour.  Having retired she finds that jeans are a real day to day staple so worth a level of investment for a good fit and comfort.  Her shoes are from Dune and sadly no longer available, although they do have a similar one in the Jany design that is now in the sale at £55.00 

Jewellery wise she has chosen silver tones with a necklace that was a gift from a friend, a cuff that was from The White Company and silver bangle from Pandora.
