When I get yarn, I am always shocked how there is blue and then there is blue.

I agree with @Still Raining . I've noticed that while variations in other colors often work when trying to match, blue is difficult! A hair off in either direction is much more noticeable than let's say with a red or green when even a little off still works. For some reason it's different with blue (to my eye)

Re: Asking for opinions please on a top.

OP that is a pretty blouse!  I love navy clothes and wear a lot of head to toe navy.  I just like to be sure that the navys are the same.    

 

But I am not a sales clerk so what do I know.  I just know what I like. Smiley Happy

Re: Asking for opinions please on a top.

I think the sleeves are too full underneath a blazer, JMHO.   The blouse is very pretty but too close in color to the navy blazer and would all blend together.  Do what you like.

For that price just buy it.  You're not limited to wearing it under the blazer.

 

I saw on Louis's blog he said it wouldn't be his 1st choice & that you probably own  better options.

Re: Asking for opinions please on a top.

If you want to give your blazer outfit more of a modern look pop it with a bright solid color like coral, yellow or even aqua.  

 

If you stay with this floral it will date you and it looks matronly and boring.

That top IMO, I would not put under a jacket.  It deserves to be featured.  It has big sleeves and embelishments.  At that price, if you like it, get it!  I like it too, just not something I would wear right now.  With a navy jacket, I would wear a contrast solid color, or maybe a sparse print (a no print print), like this white floral.  The navy on navy is kind of heavy.  And so is the liquid knit.  JMO

Re: Asking for opinions please on a top.

I think it would work, but I agree with the possible concern over matching the blue in the top with the blue in the blazer. You don't need a perfect color match in items anymore, but different shades can sometimes look a bit "off". If you keep the blazer buttoned, it looks like most of the print will be hidden. I wear my blazers open so that wouldn't be an issue for me.
