it's live time hi everyone how are you

heidi here and we are talking about one

[Music]

most my

i'd say surprise trends of spring season

and that is taking

that black in your closet and refreshing

it with what i like to call

the new black

navy so many shades of fabulous blues

that can be infused into your closet

they look just as cool dressed up as

they do dress down a little bit lighter

in the palette so easy to wear fabulous

with denim

you cannot go wrong so i'm going to talk

about all the blues you need

and some rule

breakers that i want everyone to abandon

from that list because yes you can do a

couple of things you were told at one

point you can't

okay so starting with this look first

rule breaker yes you can mix shades of

white and cream with blue it doesn't

need to go pure nautical when we're

talking navy and that's one of the

things i love about blue that makes it

feel really fresh i've got on this

amazing fara pant

this is from z supply so you know the

comfort factor is through the roof on

this guy it is a higher rise but thank

you thank you z supply elastic waistband

so uber uber comfortable

featuring that fun wide leg that we've

all been loving this season now it has

to be said

i am 5'4 but i'm going to remind all of

you that i've got the legs of a five

foot one gap

short short legs so these on me i love

them i think they're really fun it's

kind of taking the idea of a maxi dress

and putting it into a pant they feel

like a jogger they are hitting me below

my ankle now if i wanted to have a

little bit more of a summer vibe i would

probably shorten these to just above my

ankle so on you

longer legged gals and i know that most

of you out there are

it's going to hit you probably above

your ankle bone really chic really

pretty you can wear it with a wedge you

can wear it with a flat you can dress

them up with a heel now

how am i pairing it well i took this fun

chaser tank that's in this great marine

blue and white and paired it back mixing

my neutrals little pop of blue i've got

this great little espadrille wedge on

and i am set to me this is

casual easy breezy i want to feel put

together want to feel a little bit more

elevated and done okay

how to take these pants though and turn

up the volume a little bit more

this is where your statement top comes

in now i'm thinking this is for

fun brunches maybe you've got some

showers graduations coming up and the

dress code is that obscure

casual chic backyard dressed up i don't

know what to wear kind of

outfit

gotcha okay so we're going to start with

really fun top so take these great pants

and then pair it back to this beautiful

new blouse now here's a great example of

something that would typically be

grounded in a black instead it's

grounded in this gorgeous midnight navy

this is from sanctuary

we talked about this a couple weeks ago

this gorgeous square neckline so

flattering so pretty i'm actually going

to pop this guy on just so we can talk

about the neckline on this one you can

also see

the rise on these now this pan does have

a belt loop we've been talking a little

bit about belts too lately and how they

can really finish a look one of the

things i think is really fun about a

wide leg pant

especially when it's got a higher waist

is that you can really nip in that waist

and accentuate it with a belt this is

that little free people cammy love this

guy for a simple little layer okay so

we've got this great little sanctuary

top grounded in navy it's got shades of

light blue

a little bit of pink here and a little

bit of kind of a creamy white

i see a strap

behind me

more fluid sleeve and then you can see

right the bottom is just open now

yes you could do this right it's flowy

it's easy it's super relaxed fun but

i am going to take advantage of these

amazing pants

and the fact they just give me a

fantastic waist

even on the days when maybe

my waist is

not as cooperative as i'd like it to be

and do a little tuck there you go now

i've got a little bit more shape and you

can also see i think when you do that

full tuck

it really helps to elevate the look and

dresses it up just a little bit more now

especially yeah you could absolutely do

these you can also pop on like that

great shoots heel

neutral elevates it even more or for you

longer legged ladies you can pop on just

a flat slide put that guy on and it

feels a little bit more casual easy

breezy let's talk about that square

neckline

flattering and easy one of the things i

love about this neckline is it is bra

friendly

but still really opens up the neck so

elongates your neck

opens up your chest if you are more full

figured it doesn't

make you feel top heavy if you are more

petite it balances you out a really

really easy one to wear kind of the

sister to this under our own label is

this beautiful paisley version so you

can see this guy i would say of the two

what are the differences a little bit

i'd say of a sweeter more delicate print

this to me reads a little bit more

bohemian so this is from ronan ryan it's

more of a paisley print versus this

which i think is more of an abstract

floral this is definitely grounded

in that deep rich navy but has great

hits of cream and taupe and pink so if

you like a little bit i'd say more
