The Yellow Dress Trend

While violet is the Pantone color of the year, yellow is the color that seems to be popping up everywhere. Even Vogue wrote an article showcasing how so many women are choosing to wear yellow dresses on the red carpet this year. Just a couple of years ago, if someone had suggested I wear a yellow dress, I would have given them an incredulous look. But in true Devil Wears Prada psychology, the more I see yellow popping up in fashion trends this season, the more I want to wear it myself! Yellow may not be the most popular color, but the pastel, mustard yellow shades really do look good on just about every skin tone. And after a cold and dreary winter, it can feel so refreshing to put on a yellow dress, if just to brighten your day a bit.

ASTR the Label Ruffle Linen Blend Wrap Dress

The ruffled trim and wrap style of this ASTR the Label Ruffle Linen Blend Wrap dress make this dress flattering for just about anyone. The muted yellow color caught my eye as soon as a saw it! This yellow dress is nothing short of charming with it’s A-line cut and cinched waist. It comes in yellow, but also comes in a lovely coral color. This dress is definitely petite-friendly. It does run large, so I do recommend sizing down one size. I am wearing an XS and it fits me perfectly.

This pretty yellow ruffle dress is perfect for a weekend look. Wear it to lunch, a casual wedding, or an outdoor dinner. It is still quite chilly where I live, so we headed to the Ann Arbor Matthaei Botanical Gardens Conservatory to take these pictures. I felt quite comfortable exploring the greenhouse while wearing this dress. It was so nice to be in the “tropics” while the outside is literally freezing.

Lack of Color Make Your Own Spencer Boater Hat

I have just found my favorite hat for the spring and summer! The simple yet chic boater hat is my favorite style of hat to wear in the spring and summer. A straw hat is such an easy way to add style to your look. I have collected so many boater hats just to have the right color band to match my outfit. With this hat, I no longer have to do that! What makes this hat truly special is that it is really three hats in one. The band is detachable so you can literally match the band to your outfit. The yellow gingham band is perfect with my solid yellow dress. It however comes with two extra bands (I have yellow and blue) so you can match your outfit to your hat. No need to buy separate hats! And the band is fairly simply constructed.

This hat is very well-made. And it would be so easy to make your own bands for this hat. You  could head to JoAnns to get the fabric and literally make a band yourself. It ships from Australia, but I had my hat in hand within a week of ordering it. I highly recommend this hat if you are looking for a good boater hat.

Cult Gaia Bamboo Circle Bag

The bamboo bag is popular again this season, and Cult Gaia has given their iconic bag a new look. This circular bag has been so popular this season that it is sold out practically everywhere (though you can still get it directly from the Cult Gaia site). I can see why it is so popular as this bag looks great with just about any casual spring/summer outfit. Wear it wit a dress, shorts, or even jeans, and you are sure to get complements. This bag is meant to be wrapped around the wrist or hand, as it is not a crossbody bag.
