colour confident: yellow jeans.

Can I tell you a secret? I pretty much never ever wear yellow. I think I only have maybe three yellow pieces of clothing in my closet. I absolutely love yellow as a colour, but I feel like wearing it on my upper half clashes with my skin tone. It simply does not look good on me.

Enter: yellow jeans. Being frightened of wearing this colour, I took a chance and got myself some yellow jeans. I figured that it would be on the bottom half of me anyways, which meant less of a chance it would make me look sickly... and you know what? I think it works.




Shirt: c/o Oasap



Yellow is a tricky colour to compliment when it comes to clothing, so why not turn to our trusty friend the colour wheel like in my last post!?  Blue is yellow's perfect match. It just brightens up your whole look when you pair these two. Instead of a blue top, why not try a denim jacket with a simple white tank or chambray shirt? Perfection!

Don't be afraid of colour in your wardrobe. It's there to experiment and play with! Sure, basic neutrals, black, and white can pretty much go with anything, but they just lack that touch of fun!

Have you taken a dive into the pool of coloured denim yet? What is your fav colour combo, or what colours are you afraid to wear???

  2. I never wear yellow for the same reason, but I guess now I should try some pants! They look very good on you and the top just makes the whole outfit really nice! :)

  3. I really love your top, I bought a yellow skirt last year and i still haven't taken the tags off it because i just didn't know what to wear it with. But you have inspired me, it may just come out this summer.

  10. I want colored denim so bad...I just haven't found THAT color I want yet. I want some mint, or heck even this yellow color. Not too big on the cobalt blues, hotpinks, and other neon colors. They really don't look that great on me. I'm more of a soft colored tone person. I know this b/c I bought a pretty bright teal-ish top the other day and took it back after I tried it on. Love the color...just don't love it on me.

    The blue really does look great with the yellow too, and I could see where a white kind of flowy tank would give the yellow denim a clean look too. Now I'm gonna hafta go buy me some yellow denim.
