I Love Me Some Purple and Yellow


Remember last week when I got the weeks for Friday's Fancies mixed up? Well this week I decided to do a combination of the two. I started with this great pin I found (I just love the sequined tank/yellow blazer/boyfriend jean combo) and added an amazing pair of purple and taupe color block wedges to my outfit remake of it. That let me get my outfit inspiration AND my color crush (purple and yellow, if you didn't notice) in my Friday's Fancies. Then at that point I was looking for some confirmation that my color crush was an acceptable one so I did some "research" and found Kendi and various other pins and paraphernalia sporting the same color combo and I was content!

    Great outfit! I love your photos of inspiration, the look seems perfect for a cozy couch day as well as a city chic style! I think the sparkles and the pop of mustard yellow are perfect touches...and a great way to spice up a winter look. I just found your blog today from Friday's Fancies on long distance loving. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Friday!!

    Ooo that's a fantastic color combination! When I saw those first pictures on Glittler Guide, I was like whoa that's a cute sweater and wished I could pull off "sunny" yellow better rather than the mustard that I love to implement. There's just something about yellow! Love the purple too, it looks fantastic! Have a great weekend Val!

    I love this color combo! I'm wearing a mustard skirt today! I just found your blog and I'm so happy I did. I started blogging a few months ago after I gave birth to my first daughter. Fitting into clothes was a challenge, much less looking cute. So it's been a fun journey to blog! Your son is adorable:) Anyways, just started following you on GFC. Come by, say hi and follow back.
