Remember my pink waterfall coat from last week? Well that wasn’t the only thing I bought from Ezibuy. I also picked up this rather bright yellow wool coat. I told you I had a coat obsession! This is no doubt a traffic stopper and somewhat reminds me of The Hubs’ high viz work gear. This is definitely not an outfit you want to wear if you are trying to blend into the background but when the weather is dreary sometimes you need a little lift and a pop of sunny yellow certainly does just that! Read on for all the details …
Bright Yellow Wool Coat
I was originally going to wear this bright yellow wool coat with hot pink pants (I still might!) but then I spied this orange halter top and liked the colour combination. I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about overloading the yellow factor with the pants (also worn here). I think it works because the shades are different enough so as not to be too matchy matchy but I’ll let you be the judge. I chose complimentary rather than clashing accessories given the already OTT visual impact and simple rose gold accessories completed the look.

What an adorable color, you can’t help but smile when you see it. I have sunny yellow dress hanging in the closet, but a bit nervous to wear it. I think this weekend it will have to make an appearance.
Thanks for linking up to #UntamedStyle

Allison, first of all I love the tone-on-tone Yellow and mustard look. Bright, tres-chic and very polished. I also love the two outfits you featured. I also like the new name and new look of your blog. It looks great.
Do come by and linkup with me tomorrow, pretty lady. Thank you. =)

I totally get it! I love coats too, but here in NC I really only need one wool coat, but could get away with leather jackets. This bright color is so refreshing in a sea of black wool coats. Looks great.

colleen @ 50 days of no grey says
That yellow coat and the details are just lovely and it looks great on you! I don’t think I’m brave enough to wear such a bold colour as I tend to stick to neutrals, but I’m envious of those who do!
Sydney Fashion Hunter says
Thanks Colleen. Defo a bit out of my comfort zone to wear them all together but I thought I would give it a try ?

Love this look, Allison. The colors compliment each other so well and you add the perfect accessories that pull the whole thing together rather than clashing. You are right about the bright color helping counteract a dreary day. I may have to try a similar look when our midwest winters get long! Thank you for posting and for hosting. – Amy
