What's funny about favorite colors is that they don't always translate to outfits. There are other considerations, such as what compliments our hair and skin tones, right? We all have a different palette of colors that make us feel beautiful. Sometimes the stars align and our favorite colors also become wardrobe staples! Yellow is one of our favorite colors to wear. (We shared some more here) A little yellow goes a long way, so we like to add it to otherwise neutral outfits to spice things up! What are your favorite colors to wear in small doses?
Emma's Wearing: Dress c/o ModCloth, Tights/Target, Clogs c/o Lotta.
Elsie's wearing: T-Shirt/Things Like Diamonds, Jersey Pencil Skirt/American Apparel, Stacking Rings/family heirloom + c/o Catbird, Bag/Adeleshop, Shoes c/o Minnetonka Moccasins.
PS- I'm moving this week! If you have any useful packing/moving tips- please share!




moving is stressful. no doubt about that. but I think the most important thing to remember is to have fun. You can spend all day thinking of things that would make it go faster or smoother. You're starting a new chapter in your life and sometimes the chaos can end in really good memories. (:

Good luck moving! I recently moved and the thing that helped me the most was numbering the boxes and then making a spreadsheet with a quick list of what was inside. Keep this list separate, and then when you are looking for your spatula a few days after you move in, you will know it's in box 7! All the best.

I've had a pair of mustard tights stashed in my closet for years now but I was always afraid they would look weird with my skin tone. Definitely breaking those bad boys out this fall because Emma looks awesome in them!

Love the tights, I have an identical pair lurking in the back of my drawers and you've just reminded me to hunt them out.
I love flesh coloured dresses but you're right, sometimes they just DON'T translate- I tend to look naked/ highly anaemic/ like I haven't slept in months if I wear them. I've finally stopped bothering to try them on as I've realised they really do nothing for my complexion.Rx

Label EVERYTHING. I labeled boxes like a crazy person, including the smaller boxes inside of the big boxes. It saved a lot of hair-pulling-out for us while unpacking and for everyone who helped us unload - they knew what room it went in and we knew what room to find stuff and what box it was in. So glad I embraced the labeling even though it added a little extra packing time. :)

Love how ambitious yellow is! I like little pops of it, mostly in accessories! The tights and the shoes are perfect!

Love these! But love anything mustard colored like!...

In my case, it's green. I love green, it's so funny and fresh colour. It makes me feel good and relaxed. I don't mean every shade of green, just the grass one. It's so beautiful.
I have a pair of flats in this colour and recently, I found a shirt in a second hand (or thrift store? not sure, how it's called in English) and I can't wait to wear it. I'm really curious if it souits me as much as I hope! :D

I just bought a mustard yellow cardigan, and it is probably the most worn piece of clothing I own! I actually just wore it to church this morning! Yellow and navy is my favorite combo.

Yellow is a great colour, but I don“t think I have a single yellow piece in my closet. I like to wear pops of red, it fits my skintone and is great when wearing darker, more boring combinations without prints and so on.
I just moved out of my flat two weeks ago and a thing I did, was to write on every box, what I put in there. Like "kitchenware" or "everything that was on the desk". This really helps, especially when it comes to the part when you unpack everything.
And then did I throw away things like old notepads and papers which had become useless in the meantime. Saves a lot of space!
