The simplest outfit actualized

When I purchased this yellow pencil skirt back in November of last year, I had done so with the intent of pairing it with this striped top.

I have no idea what took me so long to actually get around to wearing it, but at least I got it in before summers end. The next time this skirt appears on the blog will probably be well into Fall, and I'm thinking camel sweater, brown booties, a scarf perhaps...

  1. Something about the color mustard and stripes that goes so well together. I love to wear my striped shirt and my yellow colored jeans.

    I def think this skirt can work in your fall wardrobe!

  5. I really like navy and mustard together. My husband gives me grief though since they are Michigan colors and God forbid an Ohio State fan wear Michigan colors!

  8. Well good outfits come to those who wait! This is a great pairing with the skirt and I can't wait to see how you style it this fall (if we HAVE to have fall, I guess).

  9. Lovely. I love me a yellow pencil skirt and you look summery. Funny how you have the dog listed (definitely not shopping for a dog though)

  10. Isn't it funny how that happens? I often buy pieces thinking they will work perfectly with another piece I already have... but then come home feeling so inspired that I create three or four new outfits with my new piece before even considering what I originally bought it for. This outfit was worth waiting for though - so simple, so elegant, so perfect.

  11. Great skirt - I love the detailing. And I love this look; it's so perfectly summery.

    I do the same things with my clothes - buy something to wear with something else and somehow never get around to wearing the two together.

  12. It's a fabulous shade of yellow and looks awesome with that striped blouse. Gorgeous combination! It's so uplifting.

  14. Your skirt looks great paired with that striped top and I think it will look great with a cozy camel sweater too. I love the slanted pockets on your skirt.

  24. Yellow and blue - such a gorgeous combination! That skirt is perfection on you, and I love your cute little puppy!

  25. haha it's funny how when we buy pieces we think, "Okay, so I'll wear it with this... and then in the winter with this and that..." and then we totally forget to actually wear it with said pieces. But hey, I guess that means it's just more versatile than we initially thought!

    I love that yellow skirt and always will. It looks great with the stripes and anchors!

  27. Yes! Camel sweater! I think that would look fab.

    I love yellow, especially a color like this. I can't do the highlighter ones. Never look good on me.

  28. You are right! They go perfectly together and the colour of yellow is dreamy!
