Some color obsessions don’t fade with the seasons- and for me, that’s navy. What began as a summer staple (wearing breezy dresses and coastal vibes) has effortlessly carried into fall, proving that this classic hue is truly seasonless.

For today’s look, I’m embracing my navy love affair in full force with a navy maxi dress layered under a matching navy longline cardigan. The silhouette is flowy and effortless, yet the deep, inky tone keeps it grounded and sophisticated. Layering navy on navy creates a polished, elongating effect- just right for crisp fall mornings and golden-hour strolls.

But let’s talk about the magic of accessories- because that’s where the look really comes alive. To warm up the deep navy and give the outfit an unmistakable autumn feel, I paired it with camel accents- a combo I can’t get enough of.

A camel wicker bag from MME. MINK adds structure and contrast, breaking up the monochrome in the most flattering way (and yes, it’s the kind of bag I’ll carry all year long). On my feet, I slipped into camel and straw slingback kitten heels - chic, comfortable, and perfect for transitioning into the seasons.

To finish, I added a bit of personal charm with two estate-find necklaces- those quiet statement pieces that pull everything together and add a hint of vintage warmth that feels so right for fall.

Why I love this look:

• The Navy transitions beautifully from summer to fall - it always feels fresh, grounded, and timeless.

• Camel tones warm up the palette, making the look feel cozy, earthy, and seasonally rich.

• It’s easy to wear, endlessly versatile, and effortlessly elegant- exactly what I want as the seasons shift.

So while summer may be long gone, my navy obsession lives on- just with a few more layers, a little more texture, and a lot more pumpkin spice.
