Mean Mr. Mustard



What I'm wearing:
*Forever 21 Minimalist Woven Top in Yellow
*Gap Square Print Pleated Skirt in Black/White
*Forever 21 Leatherette Drape Jacket
*Nine West Lucero Pumps in Wine Patent (similar here)
*Forever 21 Pearl Bib Necklace (similar here)
*Michael Kors Oversized Black Watch

Black & white prints with a splash of color is definitely one of my favorite outfit combinations. I bought this slinky citrine colored top ages ago but haven't worn it yet (and also I was too lazy to whip out my steamer and steam the wrinkles out of it), and when I saw this printed skirt from the Gap, I thought that it would go well together. This is definitely a color that I am drawn to often.

Still loving my little leatherette jacket from Forever 21. I think this one is perfect for me because it doesn't have any embellishments that other cheaper faux leather jackets have. It's simple and it adds just a wee bit of edge to my mostly feminine looks.





What I really wish I grabbed this morning was a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I've been trying to be good and not buy coffee drinks out, but with fall in the air I may treat myself this afternoon. Anyone else love these as much as me? Or what is your favorite fall drink? (I also love the Caramel Apple Spice drink Starbucks has.)

  4. Love love the shoes! They really go well with the outfit! And I really like that leather jacket, I always stuggle to find pieces from forever 21 that work, I always feel like the stores are so picked over and I worry that I'll end up stuck with pieces that don't fit when I order online!

  6. I need to be better about not buying coffee in the morning. That's $25 that could go towards a new something else. I need to start that stat.

    I love the splash of yellow in this outfit. Perfect accent to the black and white.

  9. I love your style! Mustard with Black and White is one of my favorite color combos..

    I have been wondering what size you wear in the Jcrew matchstick ankle cords. I was wondering if the fitted cords are tts or do you size up or down for the fit. I love the ochre (sp?) color you wore a couple of days ago with the gray bow top. Perfect for Fall.
    Thanks!

  11. I love the yellow top with the black and white skirt! They go so well together. Thank you for the inspiration! I don't think I would have ever put a combination like this because I am afraid of looking like a bumble bee (black and yellow). But now, I am not so afraid anymore.

    I don't have a favorite drink, but I do LOVE pumpkin Cheesecake!

  28. Hi Rosa
    I've been following you wonderful blog for quite some time now, but haven't official 'followed' you until now - tsk tsk. my bad.
    I read this post of your a few weeks back, and loved your outfit so much that i went out in searching of a bright punchy top and black & White print skirt. I've found both pieces (not exactly the same as yours, but the same concept) and can;'t wait to wear them together! thanks for the inspiration!
