Navy is an all-year neutral for me. It obviously works with darker colors we associate with fall + winter, but also looks pretty sharp against bright white come spring and summer. How I’m wearing it today: in the form of a utilitarian shirt dress with a killer watercolor floral scarf and nude pumps.
The shirt dress was a must-by on a recent H&M visit. I loved the slouch, the minimalist navy-and-nothing-else, and the way the crepe material moved. Looping on a gorgeous scarf brought some color to the look for an extra touch.

I love navy blue and your shirt dress is such a gorgeous piece! Also the scarf is another wonderful statement piece :))
I love navy though I don’t wear a ton of it. Like you mentioned, mixing it with white is the perfect summer alternative to black. I love the pop of the scarf and jealous you snagged this dress! Love it!

Great dress, great heels, but that scarf is completely gorgeous. Love the colors and the way it says “Spring” but not in the traditional Easter Egg way.
