They Call Me Mellow Yellow

Take your wardrobe from bland to bold with fall’s newest color sensation, mustard yellow.

Often times shied away from because people immediately associate the color with 70s style appliances or the more obvious…a hot dog, mustard yellow has received a bad rap in the fashion world. But not anymore, designers are craving the condiment inspired color this fall! Don’t believe me? Then take a hint from the always fabulous Michael Kors, “Mustard yellow might be just the thing to add zip to an otherwise bland style.”*

Confused on what colors to pair it with?  The safest route is to start by pairing with neutrals, but my favorite is to throw navy or rust into the palette. Here are my recommendations:



Navy Blue, Chocolate Brown, Charcoal Gray, Garnet, and Rust

Look for mustards that (ironically) aren’t overwhelmingly sunny. Think bold statement pieces, or fabrics like tweed that incorporate rusts or browns .Need a little more inspiration? Check out the looks I styled below:

 Show up looking fun and fabulous in a mustard cocktail dress for girl’s night out! Need a quick dose of fierce? Add a caramel biker jacket; it’ll come in handy when you jump on the back of Mr. Right’s motorcycle.
