Color Obsession: mustard

I was never really a lover of yellow. But lately, yellow has been catching my eye. It started with this lemongrass equestrian jacket here.


Then I was quite drawn to this marigold.


And these days, I am surprisingly smitten with mustard.

Especially with the idea of pairing it with gray or cobalt or good old navy like these kids from J.Crew did.

Here's how I first wore my mustard Zara shirt. Remember the gray snakeskin pants from here? Am loving them just as much with mustard!

Color Obsession: Neutrals & Brights

A pop of color always goes well with neutrals. But I think there are certain neutrals that look best with particular neons...

Neutrals NAVY and NUDE (see the post that inspired this color pairings post from eyecandy here) look perfect with bright ORANGE.


Neutrals NAVY and WHITE are elegant with bright GREEN.


Neutrals KHAKI and MUSTARD are stunning with bright PINK.
Here is where I beg to disagree with Bally though...

I think neon YELLOW is best matched with neutral GRAY.

Whether or not yellow is paired with black or gray, don't you love these awesome neutral + brights pairings?
