A few months ago I've had a rant about color yellow not working in my wardrobe, but also needing some kind of artificial sun in the gloomy winter months.

A bag in the nice shade of yellow was suggested, but searching for one proved to be difficult and I've put it at the back of my mind.

Until two days ago, that it.

The soft, slouchy beauty was shyly looking at me from the lower shelf of the rack where bigger, more structured and very eye-catching pieces were fighting for everyone's attention. But this one was just perfect on so many levels: I loved the color straight away, it had 3 compartments and lots of pockets, I loved the short handles and it also had long strap so it can be carried as cross-body, AND last but not least - I can see it working both with my work wardrobe and my impending MOTG life.

Until I've put today's outfit together, it didn't occur to me just how much I actually like black&white with yellow.

Please excuse the red eyes, I figured it's a lot less spooky image than piercing black eyes my unsophisticated software creates when trying to remove the redness.
