Two Trends to Try: Mustard Yellow & All-Over Check

If there's one colour I really latched on to this season, it's mustard yellow. Yes - you read that right: mustard yellow! I know, I know, it's not everyone's favourite colour, but I think it's totally underrated.

I picked up this cute mustard yellow knit bardot top from SheIn (it's only $12!!), and it was just the start of my mustard yellow obsession...I've since bought two more tops in this fun colour!

 The best part - this trending colour also pairs really with another current trend: the check suit. I picked up this one at H&M a little while back (I've linked a very similar one below). It's always great when a trend is actually wearable for day-to-day. I've been getting tons of wear out of this suit for business meetings!

To kick things up a notch outside of the 9-to-5 though, I styled the check suit with these....perfectly matching wedges! So this is the craziest thing, but I actually thrifted these heels years and years ago from Salvation Army...and they just happen to be an exact match for this H&M suit! Right down to the brown/yellow check on them! Insane, right? I think the super matchy-matchy-ness of the blazer, pants and shoes gives the outfit a very haute couture look. Great for a fashion week appearance, for instance. On a regular office day, I'd just switch out the matchy heels for something in basic grey.

So what do you think...would you ever give mustard yellow a try?
