I think it looks great on you, but only keep it if you feel great wearing it. It's the kind of particular look you have to be able to wear with nonchalance, otherwise you will never feel comfortable in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1027540 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:28:40 +0000 tarzy 1027540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mellow Yellow! (The youngsters have no idea what we're talking about.)</p> <p>Great sweater! I agree the jacket is not quite perfect, but it looks like you're having fun experimenting with color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1027481 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:04:43 +0000 Jaime 1027481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Song pusher! But saffron IS&nbsp;mad about you. Agree that the sweater is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1027450 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:16:01 +0000 Susie 1027450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought of yellow, especially in golden tones, to be a favorite color for me. But I have a pair of mustard suede wedges and I've worn them a lot. Same with a jean style jacket in mustard. And I really love different shades of yellow with gray.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am going to go with the flow here and vote keep on the sweater and keep looking on the jacket. I agree that the color is great but I'm not sold on the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1027447 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 13:11:01 +0000 Suz 1027447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get that darn song out of my head, thanks to you, Ms. Saffron!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1027391 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 11:41:58 +0000 Sveta 1027391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am afraid I m not original here: like the sweater but not the jacket.

The jacket I'm less sure of.

I think it's ladylike but fun, sassy, and flattering. The detail below the collar is face-framing. The sleeve shape and length seem very current and would work well in the climates where I live and travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1026904 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:43:45 +0000 Anonymous 1026904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sweater on you Nancy, but I agree with Suz, I think I would pass on the jacket. Fabulous colours for you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1026899 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:31:37 +0000 Suz 1026899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy, you just glow in this colour! It's so lovely to see.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you should buy the sweater and pass on the jacket!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-just-mad-about-saffron#post-1026897 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:26:45 +0000 nancylee 1026897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.....and mustard and marigold!</p> <p>Some&nbsp;of my favorite bright colors in my new palette are the yellows. &nbsp;I actually own three items in this color range already (an infinity scarf, a lightweight cardigan, and a necklace), and I'm thinking of adding a few more. &nbsp;My fall/winter wardrobe is quite dark, so I'm thinking the bright yellows will bring some&nbsp;brightness to the mix.</p> <p>#1-2 - A&nbsp;cozy pullover sweater from Modcloth. &nbsp;It's comfy and has a nice drape. &nbsp;Not too pricey, so it's a fun way for me to play with a new color. &nbsp;</p> <p>#3-7 - A&nbsp;quilted jacket from Anthropologie. &nbsp;It's quite retro (which isn't exactly my style), but it feels kind of fun. &nbsp;It's lined and very comfy, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off looking for something a little more classic and/or arty/edgy. This marigold color seems to be everywhere this fall, so it might not be hard to find another style of jacket.</p> <p>#8 - the&nbsp;cardi, scarf, and necklace already in my closet</p> <p>Thoughts? &nbsp;I'm pretty sold on the sweater, but less sure on the jacket. &nbsp;I'm also open to other bright yellow jacket options. &nbsp;</p> </p>
