{Outift Inspiration} Navy & Yellow, with a Pop of Red

Oh navy, how I love thee! You are perfect with virtually every color on the wheel. Paired with yellow you are crisp, clean and so cheery.

Paired with red, navy becomes the perfect preppy and nautical combination.

But what if we combined all three? A primary color cacophony?! Oh no, but a color symphony! Granted, it'd be a bit much if it were head-to-toe...so I added just a touch with red shoes.

It's been said every room needs a pop of red. I think the same can be true for outfits.

I could have paired this outfit with navy or nude heels, but I like to throw in the unexpected.

How do you feel about my pop of red? Do you prefer to dress in vibrant colors and combinations, or are you more comfortable in neutrals?

PS -- I get a lot of emails and comments about how I create the waves in my hair. I am no stylist and only spend about 10 minutes on it every day (I wash it the night before, and only a few times a week, then curl it the next morning). But Kate at It's the Small Things is a pro and posts some really great hair tutorials. Here's one that's very similar to how I fix mine. Who knows what you'd end up with if I tried to explain it!
