Style Friday - How to wear navy for evening

Nine West 'Begin'
The LBD is the default for after-five entertaining, and it’s a good one, classic and sleek and easy-to-wear, but sometimes, a girl just wants something with a little more color for her nights out. Navy blue is less harsh and more flattering than black, particularly for those of us who are Over Forty. But what kind of shoes go with a navy cocktail dress?
Navy is the perfect foil for a great patterned shoe, either an animal print, like the Nine West pumps shown here, or a floral print (I’m currently in love with J. Crew’s floral peep-toe pumps). Go bright or bold — animal prints and florals and dramatic color are perfect with navy. Pop your navy dress with bright yellow or pink or green shoes — the sky is pretty much the limit.
Steer clear of basic black or brown pumps, though — take advantage of the simplicity of a navy dress for evening with dramatic shoes.
Nine West Begin pumps, $99.00 at Piperlime.

Beware of Piperlime! I ordered a pair of shoes from Piperlime and three times I got the wrong size. They eventually ran out of stock and I never got my shoes! Once is a mistake, twice is an accident, and three times is a pattern. Their excuse? …”it happens.”
