I know navy is a neutral and technically can be paired with anything, but I really struggle with it. I found this really nice side draped pencil skirt that comes in either grey or navy; I already own like three pencil skirts in grey so I'm thinking navy would be the way to go. Yet I cannot picture what should go with it, other than the obvious white.
Any advice? What do you put with navy?

I like yellow with navy. Or red, but that could get a little "nautical."

I thought about yellow, too. More of a gold for me 'cause I'm really pale. Only problem is I don't own anything that color already. You know what they say, don't buy anything if it doesn't go with what you already have...should've just got the grey skirt!!!

re: alyabonfiglio
Did you already buy the navy skirt? You could just go with a cheap tank top to see how you like the combination!

Yeah, it was on clearance and they only had one in my size so I bought in. I'm sure I can work it in.

Sounds like a great skirt. I would pair it with a light grey or white top.

I like tan/camel with navy a lot, especially when you consider shoes. I think a nice camel colored sweater/top would work.
Other options: Orange, light blue/turqoise, light purple (and pretty much any other pastels), bright greens, reds, yellows, cream/ivory, pinks, light gray, etc etc etc...

There's a lot of options! I did think of the camel and light grey, which wouldn't be very interesting, but I think if I threw into something smaller, like a scarf or bag in one of the other colors you mentioned I could work it. How about like a mint green? I think that might look really cool...

re: alyabonfiglio
Oooh totally do a mint green! I think that would look awesome!

re: alyabonfiglio
Ok, so they sent the wrong skirt and I wound up with the grey anyway. You know, even though it SAYS on the shipping package that the ordered color was "classic navy!" GRRRRR. I'm sending it back, I have my heart set on the navy/mint green pairing now!!

UGH! I hate when that happens! Can't wait to see the combo!

I just found an awesome MK navy pin stripe pencil skirt on clearance at a Nordstrom Rack! I was soooo excited. So far I've worn it with a really light weight deep blue/green shell tucked in and and belted. I felt bold wearing it because it didn't "go" in my mind but I got so many compliments on it!
