CLASSY SASSY

Blue & Yellow: A Love Affair

July 3, 2014

shirt:  J.Crew Factory | shorts:  J.Crew Factory (last seen here) | cardigan:  H&M, similar | shoes:  Sperry, similar | pearls:  HelloFab | anchor necklace:  Leopard & Latte Inc, c/o | anchor bracelet:  Kiel James Patrick


I know today should technically be devoted to red, white, and blue ensembles (which I have somewhat adhered to on Instagram), but I have been wanting to share my latest color combo obsession; yellow and blue.  Lemon yellow and baby blue, navy and light yellow, gold and navy, yellow and turquoise; you name the shades, and chances are I have paired them together (note:  these are not my personal outfits, I am using them for inspiration)!

I never really had an affinity for the color yellow because a lot of shades do not pair well with my blonde hair and fair skin, but I’ve found that shades of canary, marigold, and lemonade yellows all seem to make my skin glow.  And ya know, glowing skin is sort of a plus. 😀  If you’re wondering what shades would pair best with your skin tone, or even if you have no idea what skin tone you are, this is a great article to read!

And did I mention how fabulous yellow and blue look together??  While I won’t be ditching the navy-pink or red-navy combinations (I mean, could anyone truly abandon such classy colors?), I have been looking for more ways to pair blue and yellow together.  Aaaand nautical is a great way to go with yellow and blue combos.  Seriously, does anything remind you more of sand and surf than these two colors together??

So if you’re looking for outfit inspiration for festivities tomorrow, check out these four outfits I’ve recently worn Instagram! my favorite —-> Outfit 1 | Outfit 2 | Outfit 3 | Outfit 4

Be safe tomorrow, and as always,

Stay Classy!

    Love the nautical theme in this post Whitley! Rather appropriate for the 4th! Love how you added the pearls to the look as well. So classy! This outfit would be perfect on a nice yacht ride (not that I've ever really been on one, but if I were to I'd be wearing this!)

    Yellow is just thebest colour for Summer. It cheers me up every time I see it, I wish people would wear it more. I love how you've styled it with your nautical shorts and shoes! You look great!

    I feel the same way! Yellow has never been my color–and I usually avoid it, as I'm super pale and have very blonde hair… but lately I've been loving the canary yellow pieces–totally different! You look so cute here… LOVE these photos!

    I think it's such a great combo – navy and "mustard" are one of my favorite fall combinations. You might like this nail polish look that I did around the theme last year – http://www.pinterest.com/pin/389209592767566360/.

    Love this outfit! Just came across your blog when I found out that one of my all time favorite outfits I pinned on Pinterest was from your blog.
