WARDROBE MUST HAVE, part 6

Today in part 6 of Wardrobe Musthave, my favorite color: Navy blue.
This winter Navy blue is often entitled as the new black and every designer/brand made sure they use it in their collection. Now it’s more popular than ever. And why not,  it’s a classic color that never goes out of style. It’s a softer version of black, but just as chic and easy to combine.
