Thoughts on mixing navy with black?

I can't find black shoes that I like still ,  I do however have dark navy heels which almost read black , and wear with a black maxi dress. Would you ever mix the two?  My sister says she has done it ,   But I've always been matchy , if wearing black then black shoes, navy, navy shoes etc.   thoughts?

Yes - love navy and black but wouldn't try to pass it off as being black.

If the navy is so dark you can't tell it without direct sunlight, then no one will notice.

 

I wear black shoes with the medium navy because I can't find anything that suits my need in the navy.  Navy shoes styles are still very narrow.

I used to be like that, only black with black, blue with blue and brown with brown.

 

Not anymore.  I wear it all together.  All of those colors are together in nature; therefore, they go together.

 

i wear shoes that are comfortable more than I worry about the color.

 

I have navy shoes, but often wear black shoes with navy pants.  No one every said anything.  I have even used black shoe police on navy shoes.

 

those crazy rules of yesterday no longer apply.

I love navy with black.  I wear a navy shirt with black pants or skirt.

If I wasn't in the market for new shoes, I'd wear them and not think twice.

I like navy blue and black together.  I think it is fashionable and chic.

I love it and have worn it for years. I am just happy it has gotten more fashionably current.
