spread on the { heinz }

like i had said here, i am a sucker for mustard colors during the fall.  its bright enough to be noticed yet subtle enough to blend into any color combination for the season.  my favorite mustard color piece i own is a chunky v-neck sweater from j crew that i am anxiously awaiting to pull out (i just need the weather to fall from these indian summer temperatures).  however, i am totally coveting the dress seen below and debating if i should make a new purchase as, come to find out, its only $28!!! looks like ill be doing some online shopping now that my studying has calmed down for a week or two until the next exam.

fall color report { part II }

i was so happy to see mustard was one of the colors that was highlighted in fall fashion previews.  i always loved how the yellow really stood out with a white tank and deep navy jeans (such a pretty student look).  as i was scoping the scene for color samples, i came across these mustard polka dot trousers that are only $90 and would look fabulous with a gray tank while the weather transitions from scalding hot out to teeth chattering cold (gimme gimme!!).  along with these much desired trousers, here is the continuum of yesterdays color scheme:

however, since most of my time this semester (actually, about 85% of it) will be spent in the lab, this will be my attire that i will be modeling this fall (sigh):
