I always get SO excited when Marion from Marionberry Style announces her monthly “trend of the month” challenge. Why? Well, for a couple reasons:
- It gives me an excuse to plan ahead for an outfit
- It gives me an excuse to do a little research (i.e. reading fashion blogs and fashion magazines) to see how others are rocking the latest “trend”
- It gives me a personal challenge to figure out how I can make the trend my own / fit my personal style (or maybe even step outside of my style comfort zone)
Now, when Marion said this month’s trend was YELLOW I was excited because it’s such a happy color, but also a little nervous because yellow typically is not a great color on me (fair skinned folk like myself have to be careful when trying to rock yellow). I was also a little nervous because the only yellow blouse I have no longer fits me at this stage in my pregnancy.
So, I had to get creative. That’s the fun part about trends – it’s all about incorporating it in a way that works for YOU rather than feeling confined to how others are wearing it / rocking it / whathaveyou.
So, I opted for POPS of YELLOW throughout my outfit via my accessories. So, I stuck to totally neutral tones in my outfit (a la cream blouse, white cardigan, and dark jeans), and went BOLD with bright yellow bow flats, matching yellow earrings and necklace, and a bright purple bag. Sure, not a yellow bag, but I love this purple bag so much I threw it in there anyway.
That’s the key, folks.
If you’re nervous about incorporating a BOLD trend like YELLOW or STRIPES or ANIMAL PRINT, don’t feel like you need to venture into wearing it as an entire outfit (you know, like the yellow suit guy over there–>).
Just incorporate it via your accessories: shoes, a bag, jewelry, a belt!
So, what do you think? How do YOU incorporate “trends” into your daily wardrobe?

I just love how you have styled this. Those pops of colour with the magenta and yellow are fabulous!

Okay, I just started at that gif for far too long. Back to work for me!
I hear you on the yellow/pale folk dilemma. I love yellow but it really does nothing for me. What a great suggestion to use it in accessories!
hahaha love it!! and yes! yellow has never been a great color for me to wear, so i love playing around with different options for it!
Your bag, paired with the pops of yellow is such a fun color combo!
thank you so much, allyssa!!
That lace top is so flattering on your baby bump! You are such a cute pregnant lady. Love the outfit 🙂
