Yellow…By any other name….
Mustard, lemon, cream, gold, straw, ochre, sunflower, butter, wheat, sand, canary, daffodil, saffron, fire….all of these are words fashion has used to label yellow garments!! But, no matter what the label is, yellow is definitely a popular choice for many.
I have always liked yellow and its step sisters. My eyes are hazel and are known to turn completely yellow when I wear or stand near the color. I love to pair it with white, army green, black, brown, grey…well, I think it goes with all of the neutrals.
Yesterday, I began writing about the Foundational Five™
…my new guidelines for assisting with better defining my personal style. Under my new guidelines, I do not think I would have purchased the above blouse, that I bought in the last two years at Lane Bryant. While I like it, it does not meet all five of my new criteria. The purpose of my new plan is to help me avoid shopping mistakes.
But I have purchased the jacket pictured below and it does meet all five!! I am looking forward to wearing this look in the fall.

I like the yellow blouse with the scarf…nice to pick up the color of the pants. WHY doesn't the blouse meet the foundational five? Just curious. I am still trying to figure mine out.
I saw on Nate Berkus, that what defines our wardrobe should also be defined in our living space. Interesting….my home needs a change!
Oh Pam, I LOVE the scarf with that yellow blouse! You look stunning! The yellow jacket is fantastic too.

I too wonder why the yellow blouse failed the FF criteria?
In some respects, given your warm climate, it seems like a blouse is more useful than a sweater because the sweater would be overly warm much of the time.
I love that Jana Kos jacket on you. It just lights you right up.
Hello my lovely in yellow.
I will see you back in august.
Enjoy every single day!!!

oooh! Loooove that jacket! And I'm envious of your ability to wear yellow and not look like something the cat sicked up….
"Does anyone know another name for YELLOW?"
Definitely yellow or mustard is a trend this fall season. Reminds me of sunshine, though. Love your yellow jacket, btw.
