Lemony Yellow

yellow + stripes

There's something about a slightly popped collar that takes a regular button-down shirt up a notch, in my
 book. It feels the teeniest bit retro glam to me, like what I envision stylish Katherine Hepburn-types in the '40s  used to do (my level of historical sartorial accuracy is based largely upon what I imagine in my head, so just bear with me). So I'm keeping it simple in today's outfit sans any sort of big ole statement necklace or armload of bangles, but still feeling like I'm got the littlest bit of glam with me.

  1. There is definitely enough detail in both the op (pinstripe) and the skirt (lace), to make this outfit pop sans multiple accessories. I love it, of course! :)

  2. how do you pull off yellow so well? the little details are great and you always look good in button-downs.

    1. I opt for the bright lemony hues or mustardy yellows - they seem to work the best on me.

  5. That neon looks really good on you~ I don't have any neon things. I gravitate towards black :)

  9. Such a great punch of color. I love that you went really neutral and muted with your other pieces but managed to sneak in some color and glitz in your smaller accessories. It strikes a great balance of loud, zesty elements and more muted, subtle elements.

  12. Ooh I love this. The stripes with the bold neon are perfection, and that belt adds just the right amount of "pizzazz". Very glam, love it!

  14. I like a turned up collar so much I even had the seamstress put something stiff in the collar of my silk blouse. Cause it is lime coloured but with black and white stripes if you turn the collar up.
    My husband is very unaware of these things and did the photographing of the blouse for my blog.... with the collar down....
