The Petite Philosopher

Thoughtful Style.

Fashion

Blue Velvet.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” – Maya Angelou

Velvet? Check. Pom Poms? Check. Embroidery? Check. Can this dress have any more cute details? I’m not that sure! I wrote in a post back in November that I’ve been trying out Chinese online retails with success. Lately I have found that Ali Express has some really interesting pieces if you’re willing to take the time to search. This dress was one of those finds, and just screams “whimsical”. I paired it with navy suede pumps from Le Chateau and one of my new favourite handbags. Usually I would avoid dressing in all the same colour (except for black), but I think navy blue works. I even remember a friend telling me not too long ago that navy is the new black, and I think I agree with her. To me, navy blue is black, but colourful (if that makes any sense; believe me, it does in my head).

What colours are you loving this season? Be sure to comment below!
