Wardrobe Wednesday - Mustard
Hi all! I bought some mustard colored tights a few weeks back from Target and have been wanting to wear them ever since. My go to tight color is black, so I have been in a desperate need to switch things up a bit. Starting with the tights I pieced the rest of this outfit together. I kept the look simple because the tights are so bold.
I wore this look out on Sunday to our friends show at a local bar. The tights were quite the conversation starter. I had originally taken outfit photos the same day but hated how they came out, so yesterday I took my photos out in public for the first time - EVER. *gasp!
Alright, yes I was out in public, but I definitely took the photos behind a shed at our local park so the basketball players wouldn't see me. Haha! Do you ever get comfortable taking your own outfit photos? I was so sick of taking photos indoors.
Outfit Details: Dress - thrifted | Belt - thrifted | Tights & Shoes - Target | Bag - Silk Market, Beijing.

I have a pair of mustard tights and I love them! They add so much color and fun to any outfit. :)
ReplyDelete:] I couldn't agree more!
DeleteThey are so funky! I've only been brave enough to opt for purple tights.
ReplyDeleteI am slowly branching out. These are the boldest ones I have worn.
DeleteThose are adorable! I still haven't ventured out into the world of colored tights, but when I do, I'm thinking teal....

Deletenice outfit!

I get super awkward when people walk by, but I do it anyways! My house has terrible lighting!
ReplyDeleteYikes. I guess it is something that never stops being strange :-/
Deletei have just recently stopped caring when my neighbors drive by and i'm taking pictures...but i used to hide behind the car every time. it's a weird situation! i love this combo. those tights look great on you! i also love your purse!
ReplyDeleteHaha. When I am back at home at my moms I take pictures in the backyard and don't care so much if people look. I haven't ventured to the front yard yet though. Thank you so much :]
DeleteI absolutely love this outfit! Those tights rock my world and I love that you paired them with a black and white polka dot dress. I am always freaked out to do black and yellow together for fear of looking like a bumble bee (most of my black and white dresses are striped which doesn't help) but seriously, this looks incredible and those shoes are phenominal-I need them in my life.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I definitely thought about it maybe being too bumble bee, but I think the polka dots help break it up a bit. Haha, yeah stripes might do that, but hey, if it looks good on a bee...why not try it? The shoes are still on sale at target! They are so comfy and help dress up an outfit. I can't wear heels so it is a good compromise.
DeleteI adore how beautifully that yellow pops!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love your hair :)

Aw, thank you so much :]
DeleteLove this colour :) xx
ReplyDelete^My bad, typo fail. Too busy staring out the window!
ReplyDeleteHaha, no worries. It happens.
DeleteI cannot even tell you how gorgeous your dress is! And those yellow tights are too amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :]
DeleteCuteeeee! I wear yellow tights a lot and people stare but I still wear them haha.
ReplyDelete:] Haha. It takes some getting used to, but they are so fun to wear!
DeleteLOVE the yellow tights - and they look extra cute with that polka dot dress :) I STILL feel uncomfortable taking outfit pics in public - but I do it. The hubs (my photographer) always wants to take them in crowded areas because he thinks they will look cooler - but I refuse and insist on taking them on the sidewalk :)

Thank you so much! Aw, haha. I wish I could get my boyfriend to take my pictures for me more often. I think I would feel less strange out in public. Setting up a tripod is just too weird.
DeleteWhen I took outfit photos for your guest post the other day a waiter from the restaurant across the street stood outside and watched me for like 30 minutes lol. I hate taking outfit photos bc I have to wait until there's no cars passing haha.
ReplyDeleteAhaha. Oh dear! It is so awkward. I would have done the same thing.
DeleteHaha I feel the same way.. I am actually very very very camera shy, and taking pictures outside is very hard- so I have spotted this wall where there's no one around, so I take my "outside" pics there...
ReplyDeleteI adore your mustard tights! Such a gorgeous accent piece!
Good luck!

I need to scout some more spots without people around. Thank you for the tip.
DeleteThank you :]
Lovely outfit...the yellow tights look amazing! When preparing for a trip I get incredibly excited and write a list of things I need probably a week in advance, I always pack the night before but I still leave feeling like I've forgotten something important...no matter how much I've planned!

Thank you so much!
DeleteI just made a list today...I hope I don't forget anything. The most important things though is my passport and camera and its charger. Other than that I will go with the flow, haha.
Love them I have been buying up big on coloured tights for winter I cant wait to start wearing them.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! If I see more I am scooping them up :]
DeleteYou look as lovely as ever in those crazy mustard tights! They look great with your red hair : )
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Ketchup and mustard, haha.
DeleteI love this look. We have the same tights!
ReplyDelete:] Awesome!
Deletethose tights are amazing!! such a pretty pop of color.
ReplyDeleteand yes...taking outfit photos in public is SURE to be awkward sometimes. but you just have to learn to laugh at yourself while others are staring! haha
have fun in japan!!
Thank you so much!
DeleteHaha, I need to work on laughing at myself. Thanks for the tip. And thank you!!
Love mustard tights. The pop of color really makes for a cute outfit!
ReplyDeleteagreed! :]
DeleteToo cute! That color is great!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dress, so, of course it's from a thrift store which is of absolutely no help to me. paired with the bright tights it's extra cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sorry I can't be much more of a help as to where it came from. The tags were missing on the inside :-/
DeleteI love your tights! I have the same ones and they are they best, I really love them with your dress, they give the outfit a nice bright plop and go well with the gold accents in your bag. And omg Japan! So exciting and I am so jealous have fun
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you!! I am beyond excited. Only 2 more days.
DeleteEee how pretty do you look? The tights are sooo pretty, I definitely think you did a wonderful job styling them with this cute black dress! I think the pictures turned out great, by the way, the fear you described in this post of taking pictures outside doesn't show at all! <3
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much! I didn't want to get to crazy with color so I opted for the black dress. Haha, I am glad. I nervously ran from the car to hide behind the shed and kept looking back to see if anyone was coming. Haha.
DeleteI wish a could pull off a bold colored tights like that! Looks so cool on you. :) And enjoy your upcoming trip. I'm excited to see your outfit photos when you get to Japan. :)
ReplyDeleteI am sure you could! You should try it!! I was so nervous putting these on for the first time. Thank you so much :]

ReplyDeleteThank you so much ! I hope you find them, they were on some end rack at mine. They also had fun cobalt blue ones. :]
DeleteMy go to color is black as well and I have such a hard time adding color into my wardrobe. I absolutely love the bright mustard colored tights, I've seen the tights at Target but they are always too short for me :( I love your bag as well. I hope you have a great time in Japan and make sure and take lots of pictures!
ReplyDelete<3Honeysuckelle
Color scares me a bit. I am sorry they are too short for you, that is the worst. I hate buying a pair of tights and finding out that although they say they will fit your body they don't :-/ Thank you so much!!! I will take tons of photos :]
Deleteamazing tights! perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I agree :]
DeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving such a sweet comment! I love your colored tights and that dress looks adorable on you!
