NAVY & WHITE ARE CLASSIC
Gurls, I am dragging my tail! It has been a long day for me already. I traveled to Tennessee, along with my BFF’s, Sandy & Bertha, to visit my mom and attend a vintage fashion show. It took forever to get to Tennessee, especially when my car kept stopping every few hours. I am sure the fact that there was a shopping mall where it chose to stop, was simply coincidental. 
Redbud winter has arrived in Tennessee, and after a couple days in the high 70’s, I am freezing. On our way home Sunday, we only had temperatures in the 40’s. I forgot to even bring a coat, I am not the best packer you ever knew. The part where I wait till the morning I am leaving to pack, might have something to do with that. 
Today’s outfit is simple. I have on just a few classic pieces of navy & white that will stay in style year after year. I have on a navy pull-on sweater from Old Navy that I bought a couple years ago. Navy never goes out of style.
And I chose to wear my white ankle pants with the navy. Everyone needs a pair of white pants. It would be nice to have a dress pair, and at least one other pair for a more casual look.
Here is a look from the back. I really hate taking a picture from the rear, it is not my best side. HahaI am carrying a white and tan Dooney & Bourke satchel that I bought from the QVC outlet. It is a purse that I can carry all spring and summer. Here are a few white purse options.
The statement necklace I am wearing is from Chloe & Isabel. It is called the Morningtide Convertible Collar necklace. I like that it has a lifetime guarantee and is nickle-free.
I have on a pair of blue jean espadrilles from Isaac Mizrahi. These shoes are a couple years old. I like the casual look of the blue jean material. They can go with jeans, shorts, or dresses. I like outfit pieces that are versatile. Here are a couple espadrille shoes that I think fits that bill.
I am glad to be back on Virginia soil. We had a blast in Tennessee going to the vintage fashion show, but one of the highlights was getting to see my oldest granddaughter getting ready for a father daughter dance.
My gorgeous Matti!

I went to high school with your sister.
You poor thing! Hahaha
I just found your blog through Deborah Boland’s blog. I really admire your fashion sense. A vintage fashion show sounds interesting. Is it a fundraiser? Or just for fun?
Both, Sally. We host one for our local woman’s club. We charge admission and get 20% from the sales. We pay the ladies who bring the show 200.00 to put the show on.
I just signed up to receive your blog! I am a young (immature) 58, and I teach second grade in a small town. Most of my coteachers are quite young and they are always trying to “update” my look. I am a classic Ralph Laurenesque type gal and stumbling upon your ensembles on Pinterest, I noticed that you do classic with a modern twist, by using updated accessories. I am inspired! I think my young friends will be impressed that the old girl has stepped it up a bit! Many thanks for sharing your style sense!
Thans Elaine! I like that analogy. Be sure to let me know if they notice a change in your style and attitude.
Absolutely love the outfit! Everything about it is perfect! And your granddaughter is adorable!
The lapis blue is my favorite color.
You are daring; no one on the blogs ever show their rears unless they have a long top! What is a Redbud Winter?
Bernadine, Redbud winter is a cold snap that occurs after the temperatures have been warm for a while. It usually happens early in March when the redbud trees start to bloom.
Thanks!One of my husband and I favorite movies was Funny Farm with Chevy Chase . He was a writer who moved to Redbud. When we moved to our most recent home we named it Redbud.
Love easy peasy go to outfits like this one! Glad you and “The” Gurls had an awesome time! You granddaughter looks like a little princess in her gown, ready for every girls first prince charming, their daddy 🙂 She’s a cutie.
Love the navy and white! You are right, always a classic.
Hi Tania! So glad you, Sandy and Bertha had a great time in Tennessee. Your granddaughter Matti is just beautiful!! Is that a vintage outfit she’s wearing? She is a little fashionista in the making! Like grandmother, like granddaughter! haha Have a great day!!! 🙂
No, Kimberly it wasn’t vintage. The wrap made it look a little vintage though. She did model in the vintage fashion show a vintage dress. It was adorable.
Very put-together look! Classic! – Your granddaughter Matti is precious! Lovely young lady! Good genes in the family! 🙂
If I had a rear side that looked like yours I would be doing a happy dance. No kidding, you are adorable. I am so glad that I found your blog. It is a lot of fun. That granddaughter of your’s is adorable. Have a good week.

Love the navy blue and white! It was such a beautiful Spring day on Saturday I got my white jeans out anxious to wear them. Unfortunately I was unable to zip them 🙁 Hopefully by summer I’ll be able to wear them.
I hate when that happens, Kathryn.?
I have some Silver white jean capri’s showing up today AND a pair of the Old Navy white linen pants also coming today. So excited for spring until I woke up this morning and heard our forecast for Wed-Thur…10-12 inches of snow. I seriously almost cried. There is a chance it could stay warm enough that it will stay mostly rain. I’m holding on to hope for that!!
Your granddaughter looks adorable!!!! 🙂
I know Melanie, it is only 37 degrees outside right now?
Navy and white forever! I love the part about how your car stopped so coincidentally : > Thanks for sharing, xo
