Happy Thursday, everyone!!
Today, I'm featuring a saffron yellow dress from Eva Mendes for New York & Company. The dress is the same shape/style as a leopard dress I already have. I normally don't like having duplicates of the same look, but I fell in love with this vibrant and gorgeous color and I'm a big fan of the easy shape of this dress.
After getting the dress in the mail though, I second guessed myself. Was it too yellow? Would I look like Big Bird? LOL
I had already decided to keep it, but after I asked my step-daughter what she thought, I was sure in my decision. She said, "That's a great yellow! It looks like the sun!" Being the sun worshiper that I am, how could I resist? Besides, she did inform me that Big Bird is her favorite bird!! :-)
To tone down the yellow a bit for work (and because the dress requires some shoulder alterations), I threw on my navy military jacket and added camel heels.
I love the overall look, and pairing it with navy makes me realize that this yellow will work well into the fall, so I should get a lot of wear out of it.
Are you a fan of saffron yellow???

Cute! Yes, I have worn yellow. In fall, you could put a brown jacket, shrug, vest, whatever with it. I love it with the navy, though!
ReplyDeleteI love yellow and I love yellow with navy or blue, I think it's a great combination! I really think that the yellow is a beautiful color! Oh and I really like how you paired the fitted jacket with a more flowy type dress.

Yes! I would even do brown for summer in smaller doses (like brown sandals and a brown necklace)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nina! The blazer definitely helps give the look structure.
ReplyDeleteClassy and colorful. This is a lovely dress in a VERY vibrant color. Nice touch provided by the blazer. Lovely pair of sandals to complete this positive and upbeat outfit.
