Mustard yellow is great at any time of year, but it’s especially gorgeous in autumn. I was spending a Sunday out and about for lunch and at the garden centre, and my grey marl sweatshirt toned down the dressiness of these from Asos beautifully. More earthy tones were brought in with tan (bag and as always, my hair), stone () and taupe (). These La Redoute boots are currently half price and very comfy – I love the metallic straps on the back.
The other statement piece in this outfit is the antique gold pleather hand-cut necklace that I was kindly sent by Etsy seller Miss Fluff – it’s so delicate and unusual (and being made of pleather, perfect for vegans). I’d intended to wear it with the yellow trousers and a white shirt but it was just too dressed up for the garden centre, so I swapped the shirt for a sweatshirt… Voilà, instant casual chic!
I don’t shop on Etsy nearly enough but I know I should… do you shop a lot on Etsy and what sellers can you recommend? Do share in the comments!
P.S. If you like this, you might like to see another outfit where I’ve used a grey marl sweatshirt to tone down a pleated maxi skirt.
P.P.S. If you missed what I saw at the garden centre the same day you can see it on my Instagram account here (not for the easily shocked, however)!

Hi Catherine, I love your picture of the rings (clothes are beautiful too), but I've been taken with women's hands lately, and rings catch my eye. Sometimes it is these little details that complete a look. Lovely post, thank you.

Love the mustard and now yet another reason I need to unpack my fall/winter wardrobe to get my yellow pants out… Love the casual vibe of this outfit.
I have to do that too, Linda! The temps have finally dropped over here a little… no more t-shirt weather now 🙁
Thanks my lovely, glad you like it x
So cute! xoxo-www.katestylepetite.com

I agree .. I don't shop on Etsy nearly enough .. there are so many great jewelry and hand made knits to purchase by talented artisans.

I think if I were let completely loose on Etsy my bank account would suffer, Monica!!
