Hello yellow!
There's something about wearing such a bright colour that just makes me smile. I usually enjoy adding splashes of this cheerful shade to my outfits but lately I've been finding myself wanting to wear more and more of it. Ever since I got my Lighthouse jacket, I've felt the power of wearing such a positive colour to brighten up a horrible day. Battling sleet and snow is way more fun with a big splash of colour. Even when the sun made a brief appearance at the weekend, it only made me want to embrace this wonderfully warm colour even more!
I might be a big fan of this happy shade but tbh I thought I'd struggle to put together a full on sunshine coloured outfit for this post. That wasn't the case at all and I actually ended up having two different outfits to pick from! Turns out I've been adding yellow pieces to my wardrobe without even realising. I picked up these trousers last summer while doing some charity shopping. They're super lightweight and I love the tropical pattern. The only issue is that they crease like mad! I hate ironing so it always puts me off wearing them but I keep them around because they're just so comfy to wear on those rare hot days. It's true that there hasn't been one of them for a long while but I'll be really grateful when one does come around - you mark my words.

These shoes are another item I've been struggling to wear at the moment. They're suede and I really don't want to ruin them by wearing them in the rain so I'm patiently waiting for the weather to improve. I have been popping them on occasionally when I know I won't be outside much - I do like to get as much wear as possible out of the items I buy.
One item I have been wearing loads is this tshirt. You may remember it from such appearances as my December Wishlist. I'm so happy I made it mine as it's equal parts fun and super easy to wear. Granted it's not fully yellow but it's there in the embroidery. The coat I would probably wear all the time if it was actually mine. I borrowed it from my sister because even though the sun was out it was still way too cold to go outside in just a tshirt, though I did manage for very short spells to get some of these photos.
I added even more yellow with my jewellery choices, opting for one of my favourite ways to add a splash of yellow to any outfit - this Beth Lamont necklace. Then, on top of that I added some pieces that I made myself. It's been ages (over a year in fact) since I put my hand to some jewellery making so I was super happy to get back into the studio in March and even happier when my designs actually worked out the way I wanted them to! Tassels are so hot right now...

I'm definitely feeling excited to wear more yellow come the summer months. In the meantime I think I'll continue to add pops of it to my outfits whenever I need cheering up. I'll also be on the look out for more fun yellow items to add to my wardrobe - perhaps a nice big yellow bag or even a bright, sunny blazer. How do you guys feel about yellow? Do you prefer a pop or are you all about the head-to-toe look?



great
