Today's Everyday Fashion: More Yellow



































That's right folks... I added yet another yellow sweater to my closet. I just couldn't resist. Even though I have lots of mustard pieces in my closet already, almost all my sweaters are v-neck so I found the crewneck refreshing and the buttons down the back a cute detail. I was rushing out the door last week and threw on this yellow/brown/yellow look that was inspired by an old J.Crew picture. My favorite colors and prints this winter are definitely emerald, mustard, plaid and leopard - what are yours?

  1. I love the monocramatic tones here. Amazing! And I LOVE your hair up and when it's wavy. I know you don't prefer to have it up, but you look beautiful today with it up.  Gohhhgeous (in my best British accent)...

  2. I love the buttons down the back!  That is some nice detail there J!  YOu look great in this color, and I'm jealous as I look horrible in mustard yellow.  :(  My favorite colors this season are teals and purples (Gucci Inspired).  I definitely am a fan of leopard too, and always will be.  The handbag is gorgeous!  xo

  12. Interesting - I don't know many people who would have the courage to wear both a mustard sweater and mustard heels.

  13. I gotta be honest, I feel like this outfit is so simple and "safe" - I almost didn't post it!! Got tons of compliments when I wore it.

  16. Before I read the caption, I really thought that you were just wearing a button up cardigan on backwards! (Hey, I've seen you wear a top backwards once before!) It just makes you wonder what other tops we all have in our closets just waiting to be worn backwards. Button up dress shirts? V neck sweaters? Only time will tell...

  17. You are correct, I have worn a sweater backwards before! :-) I had several people ask me that when I wore this, but in this case it was actually just designed that way.

  18. If your shoes were, say, solid-color mustard instead............ (i.e., with the uppers and the heels both mustard yellow)............ I wonder IF your yellow/brown/yellow look would've been AS genuinely *striking* as it IS?  

    Maybe part of the reason that you~~(very *d.e.s.e.r.v.e.d.l.y.*!!)~~got TONS of compliments when you wore this outfit, J, is that it almost looks, stylistically, AS IF you............ had your shoes "Specially-Made To Go With" your outfit............ i.e., since, firstly, your *outfit* is mustard yellow and brown;  then, secondly, your *shoes*, (with their brown heels)............ are ALSO mustard yellow and brown!!

  19. Mustard yellow suits you! I love that they designed a sweater to look like a cardigan worn backwards. Diana Vreeland would be proud.

  20. I love this color combination on you! I've been thinking a lot about mustard & the yellow family, which gave me inspiration for my latest post on Style Darling about gorgeous satin rust heels. I included a link to your site & your mustard color combo post from earlier this month! Keep up the great work!
