So, yesterday, out with Idioglossia, we had a brief discussion about navy blue.
Specifically, I went on and on about how it's very, very boring and conservative.
Then what do I go and do? Buy a fabulous, fishtail skirt that is *anything* but boring, in a taffetta that may as well be navy blue. (Warp = midnight blue, weft = black, erog: it may as well be navy blue).
So now I'm going: What do I have that I can wear with this?
At present, I have my (old fall-back) camisols. Specifically I've got a couple of wine/berry ones that I think are dressy enough to work as some sort of a layering piece. I have no idea what to layer them *with* (possibility: little black (hmm) velvet shrug). I've also got my crimson pirate-wench style shirt, though I'm not sure how perfect that will look (it's the drippy sleaves - I think I kind of need to go svelt or go home on top, if I'm wearing flared-and-ruffled on the bottom).
But it's a start.
I shall have to think on this some more. :-)
