What I Wore

I'm really diggin' all of the navy/mustard combos that I keep seeing around, but the thing is that mustard (or marigold, or whatever you want to call it!) makes me look really jaundiced, and I generally think that would be considered a negative thing. A lot of times, I'm drawn to yellow, but can't figure out how to wear it myself. This was an attempt to branch out a bit.

Also, I'm not sure what's up with my face. ????

Yellow top: $4.97
Cardi: Already had (Target)

    I love the print of your blue cardigan--but I'm also one of those who can't pull off mustard or yellow clothes in general. It just makes me skin look weird, I think.

      Thanks! I kind of think that mustard is tricky for a lot of people to pull off.

    I love this color combo! Mustard doesn't look great on me either. But I do have a pair of mustard cords and I just love them! I get to wear the color but without looking like I'm sick!

      I'm always so hesitant to buy anything out-of-the-box when it comes to pants...I think I'm afraid I won't wear them enough before they're out of style. That might be a good way to get in on this trend, though.
