More Navy in My Closet (and the end of my Tory Burch shoes saga)

I don't have enough time to write the post on my husband's 40 party today, so I have finished up a post that I had started before leaving for LA.

The week before my trip to LA I received a flyer from my favorite high-end shoe store in the city (that happens to be just around the block) that advertized a private sale starting on May 25th. I have to say that every year I wait for this sale because I typically allow myself one pair of designer shoes a season and they carry all my favorite brands (Miu Miu, Prada, Zanotti, YSL and ... Tory Burch), so this is a much-awaited sale for me. On top of being the first to know about the sale, the flyer entitled to an additional 10% off for 3 days only, so I knew that I would be there first thing in the morning.

If you remember my posts here and here and here, I was torn between the Tory Burch Kitty and Sally open-toe styles and when I finally got the Kitties in the tan color during the Saks F&F event, I realized that what I really needed was a pair of navy shoes. I have a lot of navy in my closet as it's one of my favorite colours (if not my favorite) but I have always been struggling to find a pair of non-driving mocs navy shoes. When I saw that the Tory Burch open-toe Sallies came in a beautiful navy I knew that they were meant to be mine.
It happens that this "high-end" store is one of the few stores that carry the Sallies in navy and luckily for me they were part of the private sale, so I ended up getting them with 40% off, which for Tory Burch classic styles is a very good deal.

Can I say that I love them? The navy (called classic navy) isn't a very dark shade of navy and I think that it's very summery (it is exactly the color of the navy in the checkered shirt):



Even if they have a wedge, they are very comfortable and I can see myself wearing them in my everyday life. With the checkered dress for exemple (to spice it up a little bit):



My navy Mica mini from last year was eagerly awaiting for this pair of shoes to be worn (I love this skirt but I didn't have any shoes to wear it with, besides flats):



While I was taking the last pic I thought that I could really use a navy cami or top. I had been eyeing the Adriana tank in classic navy for a while but didn't want to spend much on it and I finally took the plunge during the last promo. I ordered two sizes, one regular and one petite, because other bloggers reported that the fit was slightly big, especially at the mid-section, and when something is offered in petites it usually means that it runs pretty huge.

The tops arrived today. To be honest with you if it weren't for the tag I wouldn't have been able to tell which one was the 0 and which the 2P (I sized one up as I do for pants because it was the first time that I ordered a top in petite). After many try-ons I have decided to keep the 0 regular because it is a little bit more fitted around the underarms and slightly longer, which gives it a leaner look. Those who tried this top were generally disappointed that the ruffles were different than pictured on the website, but because I knew it already I wasn't particularly disappointed. Actually I like that they lay flatter than in the website pic because I plan to wear it under an open cardigan, like the metallic beach one:




Here is alone:




What I DON't like in this top is the zide zipper that makes it impossible to tuck it in, as you can see:



But I LOVE this shade of navy, that matches perfectly my new shoes:



For $32 I am certainly going to keep it. Have you tried it? Are you tempted by it?

Have a nice weekend!
