Oh weekends my favourite little suckers. How I adore you. I adore that I can skip the heels if I want to, dress down when I want, and generally just be lazy. Ahhh lazy. My favourite past-time on weekends. Give me movies, somewhere comfy to sit and I’m all set. This outfit is one I’ve worn to work before {ironed} with a little more emphasis on hair and make-up. It works in all arenas because let’s face it, navy, cream and tan is a classic combo.
Navy and tan, how I love thee, let me count the ways…
Or not. Whatever. But suffice to say that I am a big fan of this colour combination. The only issue I have is that I can never EVER find a decent pair of shoes in a matching navy. I’ve looked. Once I thought I had found the only to find that once outside the shoes were sort of a blue toned black. Sigh. Navy shoes would complete me. Hook me up if you find any would you please.
Until then, let’s have a little chuckle at my lazy Sunday self.

Oh dear Lord, someone buy this girl an iron. Or better yet, volunteer to iron her shirts.
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I’ve had a look around for the answer on your blog but couldn’t find anything. I just wanted to know is there any reason why your blog is called “Suger Coat It” rather than “Sugar Coat It”? Just curious 🙂
When I started this blog I spelt it wrong, by the time I realised, I liked the name too much to change it all together and sugar coat it was taken. Since then Suger’s sort of become my nickname. Weird, but that’s my story. Haha.
this is going to sound creepy – but have you changed your skin care routine lately? cause you have been GLOWING in the last couple of weeks. Your skin looks so happy!
Oh hey there creeper. Haha. I have been doing three things, running more {= more sweat}, drinking loads of green juices {which totally helps I think} and I’m making sure I completely remove all my makeup at night {a quick face wash in the shower and a wipe with a facial wipe before bed}. So yes, thanks for noticing!
Ahaha, actually, I was thinking the same thing recently!!
Thank you Nat. See below. 😉
Why not rock a gorgeous pair of tan shoes instead of navy? Regardless, I love the outfit and I would definitely wear it myself. Unironed, because this girl does not iron unless its absolutely necessary!
I have tan flats and some strappy sandals. Neither really work that well for my office. But I LOVE them with this outfit. And haha, kindred spirits, the HATE the iron. But I love crisp looking garments. It’s my cross to bear. 😉
Love the color combo! You know, I´ve never worn a pencil skirt, always thought it´d show my tummy in the worst way. But it actually looks so good on you that I think I´m gonna try one on next time I go shopping
Me too! the best. Do it, I wear one most days of the week. My tip is if it’s grabbing your stomach in a way that makes you uncomfortable, go up a size if you can. It’ll streamline the look and break you into the whole look. Then watch out, you’ll wear them ALL the time. Haha.
