Yellow With Black OR White

A few months ago Jeannie from A Pocketful of Polka Dots asked me to co-host her Ageless Style link up with her.  She picked the theme "yellow".  Now although I already owned a few yellow items, I wanted something new to show so I went shopping and picked out this light yellow top from Maurices.  It's a really cute top with some interesting details, but when I saw the pictures I didn't think the pale yellow looked good on me.  Whenever I co-host with someone, I want my outfit and/or pictures to look extra special, so back to the store I went.  This time I picked out a top with bold, bright yellow flowers in it then I accented it with more bold yellow in my accessories.  If you missed that post you can see it HERE.

Anyway, for today's fashion post, I thought I'd show you the light yellow top post that never made it to the blog along with how I ended up really wearing this top.  The photograph on the left was how I styled the top for Jeannie's link up (but I never wore it this way).  The photograph on the right is how I wore the top to church.

For the photo shoot, I styled the top with a white skirt, white sandals, and a white cardigan since it was still cold when the pictures were taken.  I added yellow accessories to pull out more yellow in the outfit.

The skirt is by Worthington and has an exposed zipper in back.

I wore yellow and gold bracelets, rings, and carried a yellow bag from Charming Charlies.

My sandals I bought on clearance at the end of the summer last year at JCPenney.

The interesting detail in this top is the unique criss-cross neckline on the back of the top and the keyhole opening in the front.

Because of the unique opening in the front, I kept my necklace simple and went with a pearl necklace.

For my church outfit, the weather warmed up so I could ditch the cardigan.  This time I paired the top with a black skirt, black sandals, yellow jewelry and a fun gingham bag.

The shoes I also purchased last year on clearance.  It's fun to buy things at the end of the season.  They are so inexpensive and when I pull them out of my closet the next year, it's a wonderful surprise because I usually forget I had them!

Gingham is very popular, but I don't like to wear it on me.  A Gingham purse is the perfect way to incorporate the trend without wearing it on my body.

So which way do you prefer wearing this yellow top?  With white or black ?

Have a Great Day!  Amy
