Dear readers, I am participating in Alphabe-Thursday where the colour INDIGO is unusual in that nobody seems quite certain what it is. Is it black? No. Ink blue? No, not exactly. QED A little difficult to define as you’ll notice in the range of indigo outfits below!
However, like the last rainbow colour discussed, blue, I adore indigo! Before we jump into a favourite old pair of faded jeans and tee though, let’s have our little couture-fix and take a look at some examples:

Nora - the dresses are so beautiful - do not know which one I love best - but it makes me want one and realize truly what a stunning colour Indigo is....bkm
There were a number of dresses I would quite happily wear - if I had the shape! I love indigo - so elegant.
My favorite ~ Armani Prive – Anne Hathaway.
Both lady and dress ~ gorgeous! ~ Sarah
Loved this. Great collection of dresses. Liked Ann's and Miischa's the best.
Hi Nora and Lola,
Love all these elegant indigo coloured dresses you have shown.
My favourite is the Armani Prive that Anne Hathaway is wearing.
Also the Balmain is a fabulous fairytale dress.
Hope that you are having a great week
Hugs

stylish and superb indigo post.

Oh yes, I adore indigo. My latest designer bag purchase is indigo :). YOu know what I like about it? While it is a strong and definite colour, it also works as a neutral. It goes with everything.
*kisses* HH
You found some wonderful shades of indigo! I wore this color to my son's wedding, only I called it navy blue :)
Two faves here....Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz! And LOVE those nails!!! xoxoxo Chloe and LadyBug and the mama
Oh dear, looks like I myself was wrong about indigo ><
So many beautiful outfits. I would LOVE to wear numbers: 1, 3, 4.
P.S I enjoyed your comment =D
Wishing you good health,

There really is a range of colour! I love the colour of the Halo. It's so rich :)
Hi Nora and Lola! You asked me what kind of flower it was in my hand...they are dahlias! BIG Dahlias!! Have a great day!!

This is a brill blog better than I did. good job thanks for visit.
In my mind that Balmaine dress is what I envision indigo to look like. Isn't that just a gorgeous piece of wearable art?
What a delicious post of indigo eye candy!
Thank you for linking.
A+
Even after writing my post that sort of rants, I have to admit that I do love indigo (whatever it is!) So many shades here.
Anne Hathaway's dress is a knockout. But again, I couldn't wear any of them. However, if I had the body...
=)
I loved Anne Hathaway's dress. So beautiful! A lot of them I really liked. I used to wear blue mascara.
I love indigo also, such a deep, beautiful color. The dresses are gorgeous, but numbers 11 and 12 are my favorites. Just stunning. Would I wear them? In a heartbeat about 20 years ago LOL
lol i know yes i had to think what colour indigo was too at first. love the sparkly purple and black dress!
Indigo is such a sophisticated colour - as is another favourite of mine, dove grey. Oh Nora, imagine being a model and being all long and slinky. It must be a fabulous feeling to parade around turning heads.
