Oh Good! I've got this Navy Blue Tunic that I had no clue what to wear with it.

I wore a black and blue dress last weekend to a party, paired it with a pair of chocolate brown pumps to add a little spice, I think it looked pretty cute!

Love it!

Question: I have this same dress as Team Sugar: http://teamsugar.com/look/199344

What color shoes can I wear with it?? Is this the time black does NOT go with it?

Thanks! Smiling

Hi LuciLu! Because your dress is blue and white I would go with a nautical black shoe; like these black espardilles:

And wear a black cardi to pull the look together. xo

I was at the mall about a month ago and I noticed at a lot of stores were into the black and blue combo Smiling

I love Jamie Lynn's dress. I can't wait to get into black and blue. When navy blue is done right, it's just so clean and classy.

Hahha. This is too funny! I am sitting here right now in a black and blue outfit. I love this trend.

I heart Reese's look!

Return the shoes? I can't talk to you when you're hysterical.

I love Navy, it's so classy! It's one of my absolute favorite colors!

Skinplistic on Thu, 05/03/2007 - 7:12pm

I love Reese's look. Cute, classy, and wearable.

cinamon on Thu, 05/03/2007 - 9:38pm

Actually very true, I too remember they were a no-no. But looking at these pictures, the colours are really wittily put together. Thanks for the tip, must look for some dark blue shoes next...

krisua on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 1:00am

Love the shoes and the cardie, not a big fan of the dress though...

cosmogirl on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 2:23am

I love Jamie Lynn's outfit. Where can I find it?

beaglebuddy on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 7:55am

...i guess i'd have to check it out on me. i'm not sure i'm sold on the idea that black and navy go together. i've always gone with gray or muted brown. it looks ok here...

bluejeanie on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 8:19am

I remember that old fashion rule! My older sister used to chide me for wearing the two together but I think it looks great when done correctly. Out of the three celebrities picture, Reese pulls it off the best.

HuongStar on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 9:33am

I've always liked pairing black with blue. But I think it should be saved for the winter. Right now I am pairing other colors, like cool dark brown with dove gray, and it looks so fresh! I never follow "rules" and just do what appeals to me. After-all, how you dress should be a reflection of your personality.

imahoopie on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 11:18am

I wear black and blue together all the time...don't get that old fashion rule!

littlemissme on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 12:18pm

I never got people saying to not wear navy and black together!! They look awesome! And here's proof!

kayleigh83 on Fri, 05/04/2007 - 9:37pm

Navy and black are two of my favorite colors...I'm so excited that they're in style! Laughing out loud

misogi on Sat, 05/05/2007 - 8:28am

I love that cardigan!

JKe895 on Sat, 05/05/2007 - 2:37pm

i absolutely ADORE this trend!!!
mix in a bit of white and there's my fav spring color palette!

babylish on Sat, 05/05/2007 - 3:04pm

I never understood why people said black and blue didn't go together...I wore it anyway - trendsetter!!

Talldiva45 on Sat, 05/19/2007 - 3:37am

i love what reese is wearing!!

moosie on Sat, 05/19/2007 - 1:55pm

i still will not wear true navy with black - the navy that is so dark it is often worn with black on accident. i love midnight with black though.

i think this old rule is much more like "black and brown don't go together" - when the brown is also very dark. midnight blue and camel/tan brown look great with black because there is enough contrast.

yeokr on Sat, 04/19/2008 - 10:39am

Amazing as always Smiling

Wasn't there a point in time when people didn't think black and blue went together? Seeing as how the most common colors associated with a bruise are "black and blue" I don't really understand how people thought these colors didn't complement each other. Together, they create a dark mystique that oozes cool and collected. I have spotted this color combo on several starlets as of late and I'm totally into it. These three looks in particular are all very different, but all work, proving that black and blue is pretty versatile. Blast those naysayers who said it couldn't work!

The common denominator in two of these looks is layers. All three decided to go with noir shoes - probably the best way to work it. As well, the blue is more navy and moody; although bright blue works and sequins do too! This trend will take you into the Fall and beyond - but kbella already knows this!
