WIW: Column of Navy and pink

Today it's a chilly spring day.  The gray skies have me in the mood for a bright color, and my planned activities are steering me toward dressing a bit sporty (I know I'll be moving lots today).

So I'm trying out a navy column of color (navy skinnies, navy tee), with a hot pink sporty jacket.

Shoes are navy loafers with mid-blue polka dots.

Does it work?

    I think it might need a necklace...? But I love the color combination and I think you look cute and sporty! What brand loafers?

    I really like those skinnies on you (here and in your other post). I like the outfit, but the jacket does read as gear to me. I don't always "get" the sporty thing though. And there is nothing wrong with comfortable gear for a busy day, especially in a nice colour.

    Although as I type I am realizing I would actually like this better with converse or other sporty shoe... but then I don't always "get" style juxtaposition either ;)

    Great comments - thanks!  I agree, the jacket is too gear - and it's not really quite warm enough either.  It'll probably get replaced with a pullover.

    I love this color combination and you look so sleek in that column of navy.

    Those skinnies are fabulous on you! And I son't see anything wrong with the gearish jacket. What is the neckline of the shirt? Maybe I'm seeing things but it looks to me like it has a collar? If that is the case - and this is only my personal preference - what about a scoop neck?

    I really like the column of navy with the brighter jacket on you - one of your most flattering outfits IMO.

    I think the jacket looks fine - and the color combo looks fantastic on you.

    You can wear high contrast so well. I think it works well for the type of day you describe but agree with Pil about the necklines and wondering if a scoop neck would be even better.

    I like the column of navy with the pink, and I really like the jacket, even if (or perhaps because) it's gear.  I would agree with the others about the neckline of the tee.  YLF!

    Navy and pink look good on your and you can really rock a pair of skinnies only tweak would be wearing a collarless top or scoop neck T as already suggested.

    I like the pop of electric blue on your feet. xo
