Inspiration Monday - They were all yellow

Good morning friends!  Welcome to Monday.  It was another good weekend gone by too fast.  I was able to spend time with family, a couple of college friends and went on a thrift date with Lori, not to mention I was able to spend some nice time with my Pants Monkey too.  Aren't those the best kind of weekends?  Anyway, it is Monday and here is today's Inspiration Monday choice - Olivia Palmero.


And here is my interpretation.  It's funny, I wasn't going to wear this yellow skirt and had even considered being done with this yellow skirt for the season, but after watching the Emmy's last night and seeing Julianne Moore's bright yellow dress I decided to go for it, especially when it's going to be warmer this afternoon.


Speaking of the Emmy's, I only got to watch the last hour or so, but from what I saw, did it seem like they were rushing to anyone else?  No, I don't want the winners to be allowed to drone on and on forever, but it just seemed like they were cutting them off super fast this year.  And I also felt like the presenters were speed reading the nominees too.  I don't know, I am all for keeping it to three hours but come on. Oh well.


I was happy to see Modern Family win again as we just started watching it this summer and it's comedy gold.  But, I would have liked to have seen the love spread around a bit too - I love me some Big Bang Theory too and think it's time for the nerds to have their day.  I've never watched Homeland - I honestly thought Breaking Bad would win, but they've also won a lot in the past too (for good reason - very intense but well done show), so maybe it's time for another show to shine in that category too.  And I'm sorry - best comedy actor - Jon Cryer, really?  Sorry to any fans, but that show is soooo past it's prime.


Back to my outfit, I do wish this yellow skirt was a little more on the mustard side - I think that might be a color I'll be looking for either in pants or a skirt to take me into winter a bit more.  But for today, this bright yellow guy works!

  1. Love this inspiration! I actually just saved this look to my computer over the weekend. Your outfit is perfect. Glad you didn't put away that yellow skirt, because it is super cute. You can definitely take this into fall with you. Heather

  15. I love the sweater, it's got a nice jacket-but-cas feel to it. And the color is awesome!

  16. I refuse to believe there are winter clothes and summer clothes, or what have you! I think you've proven any rule can be bent - you've paired a summer skirt with a more winter top and they work together for this fall season!

  17. Look at you with the green and yellow -- so great! :)

  18. Love your outfit! The brighter yellow looks great, but I'm wishing I had some more of the mustard yellow color in my closet. Those pockets on your cardigan switch up the traditional cardigan a bit too...love all those pockets!!

  21. I really like that grass green sweater.
    I didn't even watch the Emmy's. My whole line up of tv watching is: DWTS, AI, X-Factor, House Hunters, and Masterpiece Mysteries. That's it. I have never even seen any of these newish sitcoms. Is that sad? haha
