YELLOW! It’s a trend… of the month. #Fashion
You guys, I am gonna be real with you for a second. I have a lot of fun with the creativity associated with putting together an “outfit” or whatever you wanna call it. But I do NOT love taking pictures of myself and I do not love when I awkwardly think my neighbors think I’m nuts for taking these photos in our driveway.
No matter how many ways from Sunday I try to play it off, it just looks weird.
So, can we all just own it?
I now have started waving to my neighbors as I take my photos. At least that way they think I’m a friendly and neighborly nutcase.
Moving on to the TREND OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE. I love Marion over at Marionberry Style. She’s pretty darn awesome. She’s hilarious, she is a teacher, and she’s got way better style than me. Also, her teaching stories are so funny.
Well, each month Marion hosts a “Trend of the Month Challenge” – where you get a, well, trend, for that month, to create an outfit or look with, and then you link up on her blog.
Anyway, this month’s trend is YELLOW. You know, simple as that. The color YELLOW.
SO, I put together a little diddy yesterday with some YELLOW in it.
Ya heard?
the look you see before you below is my, “Oh what’s that over there?” pose. again, avoiding the looks from neighbors. BAHAHA.
standard thumbs up for yellow trends.
- Sleeveless Ruffle Shirt: JCrew Factory (circa Summer 2008, similar here)
- Yellow Cardigan: JCrew warehouse sale ($10!) Fall 2011 in Chapel Hill (similar here, last seen worn here)
- Shorts: JCrew Factory ($12!) Spring 2012 (similar here)
- Gold Strappy Wedges: Nordstrom BP Fall 2009, I think. (similar here, last seen worn here)
- Gold Belt: Dillard’s, old. (Similar here)
- Yellow Earrings and Necklace: Kazuri Beads (Kenya)
SO, are you a fan of yellow? What are you doing on this fine Wednesday?
In addition to linking up with Marion, I’m also linking up with Rolled Up Pretty, The Pleated Poppy, Two Thirty-Five Designs, and A Little Bit of Lacquer today!
oxox, all for now!
I’m loving your yellow! Taking pictures in public is one of the most awkward things ever for me. I always try to find the least populated areas away from home. 🙂

hahaha LOVE it! best ever!! that’s totally what i need to start doing
oh so funny! I can relate to the staring neighbors. i take a lot of my outfit photos at work (outside) and it seems like everyone has to take their trash out right when im taking photos! awkward! haha.
come visit me if you have time. my blog is newer (and not quite as pretty as yours) i have to work on it when i get time but i hope to get there eventually! 🙂

ps. love the yellow- my fav color!
hahaha LOVE it! why everybody gotta be takin out their trash?! cant wait to checkout your blog, girl!
i love your outfit! i often wear a tank, belted with a cardigan for work… but i never thought to pair it with shorts.. so cute! and i hate when the neighbors stare at you. so awkward. they just don’t get it 😉
thanks, lori!! haha glad i’m not the only one who hates the awkward stars 🙂
Love the yellow. Especially that necklace! You are darling!
thank you so much, brook!!
I totally feel you on the photo taking bit. I feel so awkward. And I can’t get over it. IT’s the poses too. I can’t, in good conscious, stand in my yard while my kids run wild around me, and look aloof in a cute skirt. No can do. You look adorable though. Love the belt!
i TOTALLY know what you mean!! i would love to see an outfit pic with photobombing kids in it though 🙂 🙂
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! It is all fabulous!!
I would absolutely LOVE to have you link this up on my Casual Friday link up party starting tomorrow, it would be perfect!!
Thanks!!

i got you, allison! you are awesome!
Loooove this outfit!!!! I am so into yellow right now!!
it’s such a happy color!
Uh, yeah. I feel like a FOOL when I take photos of myself. After confessing my disdain for taking photos for my blog, some readers told me that I should own it, get over my fear, and take the photos. I’m getting better. I wouldn’t say that I completely and totally own it–but I’m on my way, Miss Molly. I’m on my way!!

hey tj!! thank you so much for the sweet comment – you are wonderful 🙂
I love the yellow cardigan and gold belt and shoes. The necklace is really cute, too! Such a cute outfit!
thanks, april!! i really appreciate it!
The yellow is amazing on you!!!!! You look gorgeous 🙂
thank you SO much, rachel!! your instagram updates were adorable, btw 🙂
Love your yellow! It looks good on you – I really like how you used yellow accessories and a cardigan to spice up a more neutral outfit!
thank you SO much, jamie! and i didn’t even think of it that way, but you’re totally right – perfect way to update a neutral look 🙂
Molly, this look is one of my faves! It’s so comfy but pretty and feminine and chic at the same time!
thank you SO much, bonnie!! i loved it, too – it was fun to pull out some old pieces in my closet and make them feel new. you are so sweet 🙂
How cute is that ruffled top?! I’ve been straying from taking photos right outside my apt because it attracts too many neighbors. I actually like it better when I’m in a public place where no one else knows me. I don’t care as much if strangers think I’m crazy 🙂

Enter to win a clutch!
thanks, sharon!! i love it, too! hahaha and that’s a good point – strangers are always best cause you (at least hope) will never see them again 🙂 🙂 hahaha
I love this outfit! I would totally wear this. The ruffled blouse absolutely makes it!

I love yellow, it’s my favorite color. I think this outfit is super cute! I love that you just own it and wave to your neighbors. That is such a great idea!
thank you so much, morgan! and yes! waving at the neighbors is the best plan… it makes it interesting 🙂 🙂
I am such a fan of yellow! And you look so fab in it! I need another yellow cardigan asap. 🙂 You are such a fashionista, I love it!
thank you SO much, lindsay! and WOW thanks for thinking i’m a fashionista!! haha i never have thought of myself that way – just a girl trying to figure it out. thank you again so much for all your sweet comments. you are the best. for reals!
I love yellow!! very cute outfit molly!! and I don’t like taking pics of myself either. that is why I only do it on my deck where no one can see me. : )
thank you so much, katie!! hahaha i have tried my back deck, but our backyard is in need of some work so i try to avoid it wherever possible 🙂 🙂 you are awesome!
girl, you are adorable! love the outfit!!

This made me laugh Molly! My neighbors end up coming outside EVERY time I take outfit pics…even if it happens to be at 9am on Saturday! Maybe next time I’ll just try to own it instead of wanting to hide 🙂 Love the yellow cardi and denim shorts…so cute!
