Business Chic Stylist Advice- How to wear navy with brown

Dear Sharon: I'm 25 years old and work for a professional services firm. I usually wear smart shirts and trousers to work but I've got to admit that I'm a little bored of the usual black trouser, shoes and belt and trying to understand how to wear navy with brown to come out of my comfort zone.  Recently, I bought navy blue straight (almost pencil type) three-quarter trousers from Zara and they came with a chocolate brown belt. The problem is that I want to hold onto the belt but not sure what colour shoes to wear with it. Also, does the brown shade of the belt have to be the same as those of my shoes? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. (A. via Fashion Advice) More Nine West...

Going along with the whole "don't wear white after Labor Day" thought, can you reallywear a white dress after Labor Day? I'm thinking about wearing a white dress with black buttons, a black belt, black tights, and black pumps. Is this okay? (Geismar, LA) Ah thanks, I love those who love me too (big wink)… LOL! White worn in the winter is more about its fabric rather than its shade, and, of course, the climate. It can be just the right color to transition you into spring or to brighten up
