For this week’s article, I decided to hop in my time machine and analyze a trend that has been gone for a while: mustard. Wearing mustard yellow was a hit in the ’70s and it’s finally coming back! This unique color adds something special to any outfit.
This color can be very tricky; wear too much and it can be overbearing. This Fashionista seems to have it just right. Her mustard, cotton crop top shows just the right amount of skin for it to be both classy and flirty. The most difficult part of this trend is pairing. It doesn’t really match with other colors and wearing it with black jeans can make the mustard color appear harsh. The key to mustard is to keep the rest of your outfit neutral. Wearing a mustard top with nude flats? Fabulous. Pairing a mustard dress with brown wedges? Adorable. Putting a chunky mustard scarf over a black and white sweater? To die for! Starting to feel a little more confident? Good! Now it’s time to take this trend into your closet.
Being a true Fashionista is all about taking risks. Sometimes picking up a color you wouldn’t normally wear is the biggest confidence boost. Knowing you can pull off different trends all while wearing funky colors is the most fun part about getting dressed in the morning. If you’re still iffy about incorporating mustard into your wardrobe, start out small by buying a mustard clutch or a pair of mustard flats.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Don’t be afraid to wear bold colors! I bought this top because it’s unique.”
