OOTD: yellowy
Wednesday, June 6, 2012
Hello bloggy friends.
I'm sticking with the Color Week theme for today's outfit posts. So, I'm featuring the color YELLOW in my outfits.
The only [slight] problem is that I don't really own a lot of yellow.
See, my hair is yellow. I've always had a problem when the color I'm wearing matches my hair. This is also why I had a hard time wearing red when I was a redhead. You get my logic, right? Sigh.
However, I did manage to round up a little bit of yellow for today's outfits.
Come back tomorrow as I continue Color Week with GREEN. T'will be exciting!

Confession: I've actually never worn this banana yellow tank until this outfit. I had a hard time figuring out how to wear it. I figured silver/gray would do the trick.
Tank: Old Navy shop similar
Cardigan: Target shop
Flats: Target shop
Belt: Target
Jeans: Levis
This outfit is a little more casual. However, I really enjoyed wearing it. This shade of yellow is even closer to my hair color than the other. I feel like I couldn't wear this color without the white cardigan barrier between my hair and tank.

What are your thoughts on yellow? I actually love yellow on dark haired ladies but am not sure if blondes can pull it off. Sorry this color post seems like a bit of a let down. It was between a yellow-themed outfit post and a post on yellow foods. Heh.

I'm a brunette and I find that pale yellow is difficult for me to wear. I think it's a skin tone thing (I am pale with a lot of pink undertones). I do what you did and put a "barrier" between the yellow and my face. Even better, if there is a color I like but that isn't the most flattering with my skin/hair, I wear it on the bottom. Same thing with brown. If I wear it too close to my hair I just look too monochromatic.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright yellow with the silver/gray! That is one of my favorite color combos.
I love yellow and gray too!
DeleteI've been playing along with color week at home by dressing E in the color of the day. The weather even cooperated today by being cold so she could wear her one and only yellow top which has long sleeves :)
DeleteI like that banana yellow shirt on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jill!
Deletehahah i love that you're self conscious about wearing a shirt close to your hair color. you can pull off the yellow-don't worry :)
ReplyDeleteYou see where I'm coming from, though, right? It's just weird. HAHA.
DeleteI have always been a big fan of yellow. It's such a beautiful color on you. That tank in the first outfit is stunning. I love that yellow adds a happy vibe to just about any outfit, at least in my opinion. It's a great color for spring and summer. Thanks so much for sharing!

YES! Yellow is such a happy color. It does make me happy to wear it!
DeleteI love yellow, it makes me happy! So when I see in yellow, I associate you with happiness! I like to be happy so I think I will be back. :-) Found you on the Pleated Poppy, I am your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following! I'm glad you associate me with happiness...now I just need to add more yellow to my wardrobe. ;)
DeleteI LOVE yellow and I wear it a lot. I am a brunette but I think that you can pull off both shades of yellow. I really like the turquiose with the pale yellow. I did notice that LOFT had a ton of yellow in their spring line. Can't wait to get a coupon so I can rack up :)

DeleteI love the mustard top in the first outfit, and I love the metallic belt and shoes with it. And I love the necklace in your second outfit. PS- you have an awesome name!
