mellow yellow

What is with me and yellow these days? I never wear yellow. I barely even own anything yellow, but these days I'm loving all things sunny and gold. I'm dying over Nikki Reed in this yellow Jenni Kayne dress. The fit, the color, the way the material hangs, it's so perfect and unexpected.

I guess it's time for me to get my hands on my own yellow frock. I love these options below. All of them are a little more marigold than crayon yellow, but I think they'd add a dash of happiness to my wardrobe!

go for the gold

Gone are the days when the only colors to be seen in the fall were as dark and gloomy as the weather. However, I do like switching up my color pallete in the colder months. Marigold is the perfect way to inject brightness into a November wardrobe

It can be colorblocked and look mod with inky black, echo the colors of the falling leaves when mixed with earthy neutrals, or take the place of the neon of of months past.

This Tracy Reese coat from Anthropologie can't be beaten. The ultra-feminine silhouette is another way to avoid bulky, boring, masculine outerwear.
