Do a Baltic cruise in summer, you get the coastal beauty and hubby gets the warm(ish) water? <br />Hugs and good weekend wishes, x.thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-50443342741642588652017-08-24T16:31:15.120+01:002017-08-24T16:31:15.120+01:00My word for the day!!!

Your day at the beach looked so wonderful and I think that I would love that beach-side restaurant in both kinds of weather to be truthful. I am trying to convince the hubby that a cruise around the Baltic is on my wish list but he seems to prefer warmer waters....someday I will see a coast like yours!

I was so surprised when I read the lovely Janice's post and then realised I'd already got quite a few of her suggested colour pairings under my belt. And I'm excited to try more! I hope you try a few of the colours too and pop back to tell us what you liked best, ok?

Oh, we are sistas indeed, I just wrote LND, thought it was funny, then saw you've come up with the acronym too! <br />Kellyann, you make me giggle, trendsetter, moi?!! But seriously, a plain navy dress is such a great asset to a wardrobe, which Janice demonstrated so well.

I love it with the jade, actually it looks good with everything. Navy is a nice alternative to the LBD, it's less harsh but so flattering and easily works in a more formal environment, like a fancy dinner on a cruise (wink, wink). You have found the LND (little navy dress) that we're all going to want. You trendsetter you!<br />xo,<br />KellyannKellyann Rohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320531991490519576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-11173457327480058292017-08-23T15:25:03.403+01:002017-08-23T15:25:03.403+01:00Hello PP-You are looking well, hope that your flu ...Hello PP-You are looking well, hope that your flu has truly gone! I do not currently own a navy dress but a skirt, trousers, shorts, a cardigan, a jean jacket, and ankle pants live in my closet!! My very fave combo is to wear it with green. As the years go by, I am moving away from black, especially near my face, and toward shades of blue. I think that the navy and green mix is so appealing because it makes me think of grass and sky and my mind finds that combination restful. I have to be careful with the intensity of greens I wear however, because I have so much pink in my skin and greens can sometimes drain my face somewhat. (think of green and red on the color wheel-they are opposites and react with one another) Looking forward to your next post and details of your adventures in cute navy dress. Thanks for such an engaging and inspiring post!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277935750098335984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-25025460746085473322017-08-23T14:49:06.916+01:002017-08-23T14:49:06.916+01:00Great post!
