Yellow, Green & Brown











While I was perusing my google reader over coffee this morning, I saw Corporette's post about favorite t-shirts to wear under suits. My favorites are Target tees. In posting my reponse on the Corporette site, I was suddenly moved to wear my favorite green Target tee today. I pulled out this skirt and necklace, assuming I'd throw a neutral jacket or sweater overtop, but nothing I tried on looked good. Standing in front of my closet, it occurred to me that one of the things I like about mazagine editorials is how different items look great together, items that I'd never think to wear together myself. So I asked myself what jacket or sweater do I have that would compliment what I'm wearing but wouldn't be something I would normally think to put with this. This yellow jacket was the first item that caught my eye. I tried it on with minimal expectations, and was very pleased with the result. So that's how today's outfit came about.

Where:
Target, errands, work, performance of The Joffrey Ballet

What:
Yellow Silk Jacket: Dana Buchman (thrifted)
Green Tee: from Target
Skirt: Ann Taylor LOFT (thrifted)
Shoes: from Payless
Necklace: vintage from my grandmother
Earrings: vintage from my mother
Ring: gift from my parents



Do I look just a little bit like a demon here?

  1. Wow, fabulous! I love the unexpected yellow. The way the buttons on the jacket and the buttons on the skirt complement each other.

  2. I love how your outfit turned out, absolutely LOVE it! The bright yellow with the more muted colors is so striking, I especially think the nude shoes are the perfect choice. And of course, love the button on button action. So well put together :)
