Okay. Let me explain. I know I'm not supposed to wear black all week...I know, I know. I KNOW!! It was an accident! I didn't realize that this dress was black! I SWEAR!!
I completely thought this was NAVY BLUE! Honest! This dress has been hanging in my closet for weeks and I've never worn it until today. I was under the assumption that I was wearing a navy blue dress. It wasn't until I got to work, sitting in a meeting... bored to tears that I realized that this was BLACK PLAID, NOT BLUE PLAID!! AGGH!! I felt disgusted at myself!
How in the hell am I going to initiate a challenge and FAIL at it!
Ralph Lauren Taffeta Wrap Dress, Kate Spade Shoes, Old Gap Jean Jacket
Yes, I could have run home to change into something all colorful and challenge worthy but that's just psycho and an honest mistake. Doesn't it look navy to you? It does right.
(Are you wondering if I am actually standing in the frozen yogurt shop posing for pictures? The answer is yes. I was thinking it was a cute place, why not take a picture there...lol)
Since I am confessing...let me go ahead and tell it all. I didn't wear that jean jacket to work. Because I thought I was wearing a navy dress, I wore my Navy blazer with it. When I was in the meeting and made the horrible discovery, I felt dirty. I hate not matching...well not matching in an ugly way. All of a sudden, I started feeling paranoid. I kept thinking people were pointing and laughing at me. My left shoulder started twitching as if I was having an allergic reaction to the discovery that I was wearing navy and black together...not that I'm against that combo...but this was not one of those cases where it was cute. I finally just took the damn jacket off because I kept scratching like ants were crawling over me(not really)...ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I WASN'T MATCHING THE WAY I THOUGHT I WAS! So just may be I am a little psycho.
(Kate spade Shoes)
As soon as I got home, I knew I had to take pictures but I couldn't handle wearing the wrong jacket any longer. For your sake, I threw on the jean jacket. Ay de mi'!!. Extreme mental exhaustion today...all behind the color NAVY!
(Here is the dress posted on Ralph Lauren's site. Overlook the fact that the model doesn't do the dress justice like I do...but doesn't it look navy? LOL)

In my heart, I was wearing navy:) God knows my heart! LOL

Gorgeous dress and I agree, you rock it better than the model! :)
I'm often mistaking navy for black, for some reason mainly with Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger sweaters?! Random!
<3 xxx
Wow! That dress look aaaahmaaaazing on you! And those shoes?! Divine!
Girl, you rocking the hell out of that dress. I'm slightly color blind, so in my mind, I probably would have thought it was dark blue myself!
Those red pumps are killing it! LOVE THEM!
Love the red shoes!
Since I'm your friend I'll be honest with you and say No it doesnt look blue but it is still a cute dress. I need to take you up on one of the challenges since Ive been going to work looking like a straight bum. The kids are wearing me out and Im tired.
I completely understand. Once I about died of embarrassment when I wore navy nylon hose with a black dress.
Yeah Reiko...I too must be honest...it doesn't look navy. AT ALL!!(smile) BUT...it is sooo cute ...so you get a pass!!!Keep posting pictures...it keeps me entertained while I counsel students.
I am just jelous, i have yet to rock red shoes and feel confident about it yet. Good job.

haha, you are cracking me up lady! I hate when something just feels off... it's totally distracting to me too! But you look great, breaking your own rules or not :)
P.S. I know you probably know this, but you've got the best shoes!! Wish I didn't look like Bambi in heels like that!
That is the most fabulous dress I've ever seen!!!! LOVE it!
I can't tell the difference between black and navy until I take it outside in full sunlight - since we haven't had full sunlight in weeks I have no idea if I've been mixing the two! Besides, you look AMAZING! The dress, the shoes, the jacket! Awesome as usual. And you make me laugh out loud, thanks for that, too!
LOL...honest mistake...you cheated. But at least you look gorg. xo Mish
I am seriously in LOVE with this outfit! It is flirty and cute and just plain lovely!
I laughed so hard when reading this! Mainly because it's totally a mistake I would make :) Black or not, the dress looks amazing on you - love the plaid and the silhouette! That picture of the dress and shoes is great too! Don't worry - you didn't fail :) Think of it as an opportunity to make your readers smile - because I certainly did!
lovely outfit and omg the shoes! they match pretty well and i like the color of the shoes ;)
Love this dress, so classic! You can go from day to night, work to evening. This is a dress staple.
I am in love with that dress and those shoes. Oh my gosh I LOVE those shoes! : ) I thought it looked like black plaid and not navy blue, but what do I know? : )
Um, I want that dress. You look so cute!
i love that dress!!!! love it with the red heels. don't feel bad. i have the hardest time figuring out black vs. dark navy.
If you are anything like me and get dressed with minimal amounts of lighting at times :) I can see how you made the mistake. I once got to work thinking my sweater was white, blue and red, but when I got to work with blue pants, blue shoes and a white, blue and red sweater one of the parapros who is also an artist told me liked the way I mixed the blue and black, lol! I felt crazy all day! My friend and I still laugh about this several years later.
