Colour. It’s something we all know I like to try and avoid, but I’ve made it a style resolution in 2018 to try and embrace a wider palette on the spectrum, and mustard yellow. It’s a colour that has made the rounds on the Fashion Week circuit, and it’s tipped to be one of the big trends of the upcoming season, so it seemed like a good a place as any to start.
Given how short-lived my last attempt to add something mustard yellow to my wardrobe was, I can’t say I was expecting this to be a complete hit, though I’m pretty open to trying new things at least once or twice. So I packed this sweater away with me for our recent trip back to New Zealand, and perhaps what was most suprising to me was just how versatile it is. I love how it pairs with white, as it makes the colour really pop, but it also looks gorgeous with a muted heather grey, worn with denim of all sorts, or contrasting against a black skirt, and I imagine it would also pair well with blush pink if you really wanted to go all out.
Taking a little bit of inspiration from my Instgram feed, I paired the sweater with a white denim skirt and with some Gucci-inspired black leather loafers – the only thing really missing from this Scandi-themed look was a classic black leather belt at the waist. For someone who generally avoids colour, throwing the sweater on with a skirt that essentially provides a blank canvas was the way to go, and it quickly became one of the pieces in my suitcase that I reached for the most during our three-week vacation at home.
Is mustard yellow a colour you plan on adding to your wardrobe for the upcoming season? x
Yes! It’s definitely a trend here in Buenos Aires as well. It looks great with white! Beautiful outfit!

Thanks Alina! It seems to be really popular at the moment x
Ooh yes, that’s a great mustard shade! Some of them go too greeny yellow but this one is perfect! And I agree, love it with the white!

Thanks Meg! I love the colour too – an unusual choice for me 🙂
It’s a good shade of yellow on you. Mustard is my favourite yellow. I am looking forward to seeing you in some more. I just bought a pastel non-mustard yellow dress, with a floral print, it entirely resembles something from the 90’s that is Hawaiian shirt inspired, so lets see how that goes for out of my comfort zone.

I think I saw that dress on your instagram recently! You’re really good at trying new trends whereas I try and stick to the simple basics hehe. It’s fun having some colour in my wardrobe though, and I can’t wait to pair it with pink 🙂
Yes! Embrace that colour 😆
I’m not too sure about mustard yellow myself but I have been trying the last 6 months to add colour, especially in winter it’s too easy to just throw on all black.
