I don't think I've ever posted on S&B before, so please be gentle.

A quick yes or no poll...

Black boots, black tights, navy skirt, black top.

Yes or No?

Its fine - navy and black are tres chic.

Cartoonjane · 19/11/2011 11:43

Sounds good

culturemulcher · 19/11/2011 11:48

Really?

I want the skirt, but don't own anything else navy.

OP posts:
culturemulcher · 19/11/2011 12:57

Anyone else?

It's fine. I like navy and black. But it will v much depend on skirt length and boot length and on fabrics imho. And I'd probably want a scarf in a dusty dark blue and grey or black print to wrap it up a bit. Link to skirt?

MissBeehiving · 19/11/2011 14:50

Yes navy and black is fine.

HugosGoatee · 19/11/2011 14:51

Yes to navy and black Smile my fave colour combo in fact.

culturemulcher · 19/11/2011 16:25

Oooh - it's unanimous! Shall wear with pride. And yes, Remus was thinking the same re: scarf to tie it all in together.

Won't do link as I think I'm going to out myself, but it's a skirt that's definitely channelling Ms. Sara Lund.

For my first S&B post, it really wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be Smile. Or am I about to get a PM later telling me you're all joking?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/11/2011 16:30

I don't know who Sarah Lund is.

henrythecat · 19/11/2011 18:04

From the Danish (?) TV series The Killing - kinda a no make-up, intarsia/fair isle-sweater wearing type gal.

Culture - go for it, I like navy and black. Sometimes navy skirt and navy tights can be a bit matchy-matchy. I would only go navy and navy if textures were different (e.g. navy opaques with a navy lace dress).

trixymalixy · 19/11/2011 19:06

I would wear navy and black and agree that navy tights with a navy skirt is a bit too matchy matchy.

Agree about matchy matchy tights. Thank you all.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/11/2011 19:08

Link doesn't work but thanks for trying!

noddyholder · 21/11/2011 19:09

Yes here too navy and black looks great

culturemulcher · 22/11/2011 14:13

Remus that's funny, the link seems to work for me Confused

Thanks for your help, everyone. I've bought the skirt and I love it - I'd probably have steered clear otherwise. Smile
