Mellow Yellow

Have you been craving a bit of sunshine in your life? I know I have, and the Florida weather is finally obliging!  But if you're stuck somewhere with dreary weather, get yourself a pair of yellow pants and watch them light up your life. If they don't convince Mother Nature to bring you warm weather, at least you'll be greeting by a cheery color every time you look in the mirror!

A reader recently asked me what she should wear with a pair of brand new Ann Taylor Loft yellow cotton pants that she thrifted for only $3.00!! ($3.00, people! What a deal!)  After I recovered from a moment of jealousy, my creative juices got to flowing with endless possibilities.  Of course, I dashed over to polyvore, just as quickly as I could to create a few looks!

My first look has a nautical vibe and is anchored by the tan accessories.  Really, you could pair any color striped top and end up with a gorgeous look!  I could see stripes of fuschia, red, pink, black, turquoise... Any number of colors would really look amazing with these fabulous yellow pants!

My second look incorporates another trend that is staying with us for spring, which is colorblocking! This look is not for the faint of heart, as it includes bright colors that will get you noticed! =)  I think these pants would be super cute paired with lime green (envision lemons and limes).  Or with cobalt blue.  Or with turquoise.  If I owned a pair of pants in this shade, I'd probably treat it as a neutral.  You know what? I think I really need to get myself a pair of bright yellow pants! Thank you, Allie, for my latest mission! =)
