Today's outfit was a serendipitous laundry pile combination--I had no idea that this blouse had the perfect shade of yellow to pick up on this cardigan. I love when that happens! I often get great ideas while sorting and folding laundry, because I see unexpected color combinations I otherwise wouldn't (yes, I compulsively color-order my drawers).
I love the pattern on the blouse, and feel great about most of this outfit, although I'm not sure I like the mustard yellow and gold. Thoughts? No offense taken if you hate it--I'm so ambivalent myself--but I had little choice because I only brought a couple pairs of shoes on vacation.

I love it. The cardigan goes perfectly with the top, and the gold complements it all. You look so cheery!
I love it when clean laundry pieces fall together serendipitously to make an outfit you've never tried before.

Love the mustard with the gold, and also love that you sort by color in your closet/drawers. ME TOO! Therefore, you might like Life in Color: The Visual Therapy Guide to the Perfect Palette, just as much as I do. You should check it out.
I think it works- gold is a neutral!
What a gorgeous pattern on that blouse! And I’m also loving the mustard and gold combo. Mmmm, warm tones.
I think the mustard and gold look ok. Maybe if they were touching it wouldn't work as well?
I like the mustard and gold - I really like the cardigan and shirt combination.
metallics are neutrals! mustard and gold it up!
Love the flats!
YAY FOR YELLOW. Definitely my favourite colour. You rock it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love it!
that cardigan was made for that shirt! it picks up the mustard in that shirt perfectly. and i don't think i'd wear gold with mustard myself but it seems to work wonderfully with this outfit! :)
Firstly...I love all your pretty hairstyles, it makes you look even more put-together! I am one of those brush hair and go girls but you're definitely inspiring me to try out more braids etc, so thank you!
I love this outfit, gold flats and all. I really want to find a garment of this yellow colour...you've made me love it. :)
That mustard cardigan is incredibly versatile given its unusual colour. It looks great with a somber gray dress and with a lively colourful print. It's great when an article of clothing does overtime like that!
ooo love the color of the cardigan :)

you're making me want a mustard cardigan. although, i have to admit, the 70s in me has been wanting one for quite some time now.
ooo i'm not ambivalent at all - i LOVE this combination! maybe because it's in my comfort zone of cardigan-over-print-paired-with-pants-and-flats. oorrrr maybe because it's just SO lovely! the color palette really gets me. :)
Well I love the colours in your outfit! And the gold flats don't look out of place at all :D
Btw are those Tibetan buddhist flags in the background? :DD
Thanks so much for your comments about the checked dress. I definitely decided to keep it. (I love the beautiful, bright colors you are wearing here - mustard is one of my favorites, and I think you look fabulous!)
That's intriguing that you are spending the weekend in Seattle. I actually live quite close to the city. Enjoy your visit!
mustard + gold = fabulous!
I love the mustard! Wear lots of it myself. The whole look is "a do"!
