what goes with navy blue pants?

Ok, I work for a classy resort and I need outfit ideas. I have a pair of navy blue slacks with a fine pin-stripe. Other than the obviously white shirt, what other colors (other than red or black because I don't like those combos) would go well with these? And most importantly, WHAT SHOES? I can wear low heels (2.5" or less). I need help!!

light blue, light grey, light pink.

Shoes: Depending on what you do at the resort. I think at resort flats looks best.

Or something like :

My winter coat is navy, and I wear it with everything.  I consider it a neutral.

That said, I love navy with brighter colors, like yellow, bright pink, and kelly green.

 ETA:  I just noticed I gave you the exact same colors as pp.  Great minds think alike.

Given your location and the fact that you work at a resort, I would go with brighter colors. yellow, pink, kelly green, think Lily Pulitzer

OMG I LOVE "What Not to Wear"!!! And ok I thought I was pretty into colors, but wth is Kelly Green? Like a light sage? And as far as my job, I'm the head concierge. So I walk/stand alot. Chunky heels are most comfortable (other than flats). But ok, if I wear a green or pink top, what color shoes?? I don't want to buy navy shoes but I hate the thought of brown with blue and green (especially a light green). Sorry I'm picky. But so far, I can't say I disagree. I like the gold shoe idea. Not too much for a summer job??

This link shows a kelly green swatch. I've never used that site before, so clicker beware. LOL.


Since you said either flats or chunky heels and not brown or navy, what about a metalic flat?
