Greenery. That’s the colour of the year according to Pantone. I’ve always loved green, and I’m looking forward to writing about it. But first, can we spare a thought for yellow?
Yellow has been on my mind a lot lately. What does yellow make you think of? For me it’s sunshine, daffodils, lemons and smiley faces. It’s such a happy colour. And I think we need a bit of that in winter, don’t we?
Is it possible to make yourself feel happy just by looking at a colour? Maybe. It depends what you define as happy. I’m a firm believer in the little things. Looking at a jug of daffodils probably won’t change your life, but it’ll give you a fleeting moment of light and happiness. Catching enough of these moments can make all the difference.
So how about embracing a little bit of yellow this week? Wear it, look at it, eat it.
Wear a hint of yellow with your winter clothes. People always say yellow is hard to wear. But anyone can wear a little hint of yellow. These are my favourites:
Left to right: Blouse, £25.99, Zara / Jersey, £35, White Stuff / Scarf, £27.50, White Stuff
Choose a bunch of yellow flowers. A cheap and cheerful bunch of daffs, some carnations or a pretty primrose. Costs less than a cup of coffee and makes you feel better too.
Buy some lemons. Make a lemon drizzle cake, drink hot water with lemon or a G&T with ice and a slice. The colour and flavour is so uplifting!
Does yellow make you happy too?
Do you know, if you asked me I’d say I don’t like yellow. But I realised lately that I do. I don’t like it as a wall paint or in clothes for myself because it doesn’t suit me. But I love the look of lemons, cowslips, daffodils and I even have a bunch of yellow tulips in the kitchen to brighten the place up.
Exactly! x
I am loving snowdrops at the moment, as I feel they represent the time of year. Yellow flowers are a reminder that spring is round the corner, and hence reassuring. Really love the clothes, thanks for the links. I am changing my style since becoming a mum, and am no longer into skin tight Lycra etc! So I enjoy the inspiration for a new look.
Thanks Anna! I’m so glad it inspired you. That Zara top is on my shopping list x
Yellow is definitely a happy colour and I really love the blouse from Zara that you picked out. Have a lovely weekend.
