Two birthday gifts, both yellow, are featured in this outfit: the dress (from Kristin) and the sunglasses (from myself). I was excited about both of them, so I figured why not wear them together? And then I went really nuts and threw in some more yellow with the shoes. Was this going over the yellow line? I knew whom to ask: my sister. She loves yellow, and she can pull off wearing it better than I can because she inexplicably has this natural olive skin tone even though we (allegedly) have the same parents.
Here’s how our text conversation went:
Me: I thought you’d be a good person to ask: am I wearing too much yellow today? [attached outfit selfie]
Kathryn: There is no such thing as “too much yellow.”
Kathryn again: Even on a bad day big bird looks fabulous.
Me: This is why I asked you. Because I already left the house.
So there you have it. The Harrell sisters are unanimous: I look amazing.
Seriously, though. I love this dress, and it’s perfect for this time of year because it’s comfortable for hot August weather, but the shade of yellow kind of says “psst…it’s almost fall…and I’m ready.” Picture this dress with a cardigan and boots. Totally works, right? If I were still a student, this would be the perfect back-to-school-shopping purchase.
And speaking of back to school shopping, for those of you in the Indianapolis area, join me in trying to fit in with the cool kids at the Macy’s at Castleton Square Mall this Saturday, Aug. 22, at 2pm for the Back to School Shopping party! Not that we need an excuse to go shopping, but there will be snacks, a DJ, mini manicures, and free gifts with purchase. The event is free, and you can find details here (there are BTS shopping parties at other locations this month too). Hope to see you there! I’ll be the one without any kids in tow, looking totally out of place. Take pity on me and come say hello. [Disclosure: I am being compensated for sharing information about the Macy’s Back to School Shopping Party.]

“Even on a bad day big bird looks fabulous” needs to be made into a fancypants watercolor print, framed, and sold so I can buy it and hang it in my house forever.
I will speak to my sister about a copyright license. 😉
Lovely
Lovely dress!
THIS DRESS IS EVERYTHING! I have been searching for the perfect dress in this color and YOU HAVE FOUND IT. I love this shade on fellow blondes!
Not everyone could pull off this color but you look great!
