To kick off, here Manuela's suggestion on how to go casual with a navy blazer:
May I suggest another outfit :to use the scarf as a belt together with jeans or white trousers, the blue blazer and ballerinas?
Love this idea, and have put it into action with one of my favourite colour combinations, black and blue. Many thanks, dear Manuela!

You really look amazing in this outfit ! I'm a big fan of Hermès too (for the moment I just can dream about having a piece from Hermès ahah) and I love the scarf as a belt.
ReplyDeleteThis look is brilliant! Well done, Manuela and MaiTai.
ReplyDeleteSo elegant and chic....beautiful you are dear MT!
ReplyDeleteI also love to wear the scarf as a belt. It is a great colorful option!
Since you are in the navy and black mode,may I suggest your jumping boots with the jeans,white shirt and blazer?
Then you can fill in the H!
This like having our own live paper doll..a very lively one at that !! Have fun! Big hug,T

Thank you, Xandrah33 and Trudye.
ReplyDeleteYes, Trudye, I sometimes use the scarf as a belt. Kind regards, M.
Love this look - it's so chic. I need to find a blazer to rock in summer now!
ReplyDeleteCredits to Manuela for the great suggestion and a big wohoo to our queen of style, pulling it off in such an effortlessly chic way! hugs, Macs

ReplyDeleteHave you seen Sichuan print - Ii simply adore it. Am afraid it is one season show!
Dearest MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous blue blazer variation! And cheers to Manuela for the wonderful suggestion. As you, I also love blue and black combination - just pulls me in - and I love how you've married the two in this post, even Manuela's quotes are in blue! Your Quadridge scarf makes the perfect belt - the browns in the scarf are gorgeous. Also like the varying lengths of shirt, blazer and scarf - adds so much interest and softness.
Thank you for all your sweet words, dear MaiTai. Warm hugs, xx
Lovely outfit, now I have to source a navy blazer, all of my pennies are going into house projects just now, boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteBlack and blue is a gorgeous ccombination; your post makes me want to wear it more. And yesterday I saw your Repetto flats at the boutique near the Paris Opera; they are so refined and beautiful, the fabric is amazing. Haha, now I can't wait to start work so I can go on a big shopping spree!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Hair-mess and Scarf Enthusiast. I am glad you liked my suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear SMR, happy you like it <3
ReplyDeleteI am the one to say thank you, my dear Manuela!! Loved your suggestion, and really enjoyed putting it into action. Hugs to you x
Merci, Olivine, and silky greetings from one Hermès fan to another! Hope your first orange box will be with you one day soon :-)
Thank you for your kind comment re Manuela’s and my teamwork, dear xandrah33! :-)
This is such fun, dear Trudye, many thanks for the FAB (!) suggestion! The weather is just about turning into Jumping boots temperatures, and now that they have their new soles they are certainly ready to rock ;-)
Aww, thank you ASAB, glad you like it!
Oh Miss Kitty-Cat, hearing about our opposite seasons always takes me by surprise! Have a wonderful summer ahead!
You are too kind Macs, thank you my dear! Hugs to you x
I have, adesigna, and it is absolutely beautiful. And yes, it has been re-issued as part of the current AW2010 collection. Go for it while you can!
Thank you, my dear Scarf Enthusiast. Here’s to blue and black, and to our Manuela! You are so right about the browns in the Quadrige, it is such a perfect combination. I have overlooked it for the longest time in the scarf drawer at my local H, it looked so drab when folded. So glad that I asked to see it eventually, it is now one of my favorites. Warm hugs to you too.
Many thanks, dear Tabitha, and good luck with your house project! :-)
Bonjour ritournelleblog, and thank you for the lovley comment. A beautiful pair of Repetto flats definitely is a great incentive to work, wishing you a very good and successful start!!
So simple but so elegant!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Scarf Addict :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I wore navy & black recently & a friend quietly pulled me aside to say - oh Kate I don't think you realised when you put your jacket on this morning that it is navy & not black..... I told her that yes I did realise & that navy & black together is very chic & very French, she raised her eyebrows & said no more. So now I feel vindicated thank you Mai Tai. Kisses.
ReplyDeleteKatie
Oh Katie I somehow missed your comment, apologies for coming back so late. I bet you looked stunning in your blue and black outfit. There will always be people who like/dislike our wardrobe choices, but the main thing is, that you were happy, beautiful and chic. Here's to blue and black, and while we are at it, to black and brown too! Hugs xx
