I just wouldn’t have believed that I could come to love yellow as part of my wardrobe. It can be a hard color for us pale types but yellow jeans are definitely a safe bet. I have worn these jeans with bold colors and with neutrals (see some more images below) and also have a yellow shirt that I am quite fond of. I’m not on the hunt for the right pair of yellow shoes.

Since I’m not much of a floral print kind of girl, I love to mix dots with stripes. When I see floral and stripes on other people, I think it looks great. Maybe when/if I find the exact right floral print for me, I’ll get to share in the fun.

This lightweight blazer is perfect for spring both in material and color. I wore this combo to the Orange County Creative Connections meet up. It’s a great group of creative and stylish women so it was the right kind of outing for this bold combo.

In other exciting news, today is my ninth wedding anniversary! Most people that know me think it’s very appropriate that my anniversary is on April Fool’s Day. I’m never quite sure how to take that comment but I usually put it in the I’m-cool-and-quirky-and-unexpected-perhaps-even-silly column. I can’t believe it’s been nine years – they’ve flown by and we’re still crazy about each other. I’m one lucky lady!

Yes, I actually left the back yard! To all you bloggers who take photos out and about, I commend you. It’s definitely more work. This was an exercise in lighting and camera settings thanks to one of my good friends. He’s been driven mad by the poor lighting in most of my photos so we went to a park and played. I was looking for an excuse to wear this jacket again and I wanted to dress it up a bit with a skirt instead of jeans (like here) so it was an easy outfit selection. I’m not a huge fan of nautically themed outfits but this had just the right amount of it for me.

I built this outfit out of a desire to wear these shoes. I love everything about them. The shape, the comfort, the color, the zipper detail (see close up shot here). I wasn’t sure when I bought them if they would work with different outfits but so far they do. From pencil skirts to casual looks like this they add the right amount of color and sass.

I started with the tucked version of this outfit but wasn’t entirely happy with it so it ended up untucked. I was meeting a friend for lunch so I could get away with the casual version. But I did miss seeing the leopard belt. You can’t beat bright, sunny jeans on a yucky, gray day. No sun. No problem – I brought my own.

That evening I had dinner plans with a different friend (Trust me, this is an odd occurrence, I don’t have that many friends.) so I added a chunky sweater. Ever notice in most of the day-to-night outfit transitions the night version is less covered up? I get it. You’re supposed to be sexy at night. But since I’m not on the prowl for a man or a free drink, I find it more important to be warm. I guess that blows my super-secret, sexy cover.

And lastly, a picture of my cat. Why? Because this is the internet and it loves cats.

Outfit: Yellow + Navy Polka Dots

Yes, the yellow jeans strike again. It’s not only because I love their versatility but also because my winter pant selection is so limited. Boring even. Without a job my shopping budget has mostly been killed so I have to be creative with the things I already own. A good test for sure but not nearly as fun as shopping. Sigh.

These yellow jeans have turned out to be more versatile than I originally imagined. They are season agnostic and can be paired with so many different colors (seen also here and here). Although this could be an office appropriate outfit, I like it as an out-and-about kind of outfit. Where would you wear it?

Details:

  • Loft skinny jeans
  • Blazer and cow hair belt from The Limited
  • Coach Caya heels and Madison Leather Hippie bag

Thank you to everyone who entered the Fab Five Giveaway. I got such a great response that I may just have to do another one in the near future. The lucky winner is Amber. Congratulations! Check your email for details.

I’m sorry to say that I can’t remember which blog I saw this method of wearing a scarf on but I knew it was something that I needed to try. The blogging community is so creative! It was a great way to take a simple jeans + tshirt combination to a more stylish place. Easy. Comfortable. Stylish. What more could you ask for?

Details:

  • 678 bootcut jeans from The Limited
  • Caslon tshirt from Nordstrom
  • Scarf from Spotted Moth
  • Belt and earrings from Francesca’s
  • Franco Sarto heels (custom dyed) from Nordstrom

Don’t forget to enter the Fab Five Giveaway! The winner will be announced on Monday, December 3.

I wore this for a presentation that I gave at Chapman University. It may be a bit casual but I learned last year just how uncomfortable it was to stand in heels for over an hour. So this whole get-up started with a desire to wear these comfortable boots. Lots of layering and perhaps a little too much matching. Probably not something I’ll wear again but they can’t all be winners.

Details:

  • Yellow skinny jeans from Loft (now lots of Fall colors too)
  • Cardigan from Talbots
  • Striped Halogen tank from Nordstrom
  • Accessories from Francesca’s
  • Matisse boots from Zappos (see this year’s crop here)
