A navy style handmade outfit
A few weeks ago we received a wedding invitation from a friend and the day before her wedding she was throwing a pool party. The dress code for it was "navy style".

The truth is I mostly wear dresses when it's hot, but there are sometimes when I prefer something a bit easier to put on. Two years ago I purchased a pair of plain navy blue trousers made of a linen fabric that I wore to death and I was looking for a ... View Post
