Thanks for all the enabling links and suggestions:) I've ordered white jeans tonight, and I've also played more in Evernote with 'wants' and haves'.

I have been thinking a lot about this over the past few weeks, but have not done such a great job of analyzing it in such a concrete way. I think I'll have to try evernote!<br /> I have recently purchased white jeans - as they seem to go with everything in my wardrobe. I have noticed that a lot of retailers at every price point are bringing in these colors for spring.</p> <p>Banana Republic has conveniently put them all together for us:<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=92577" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....?cid=92577</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-hobo-handbag-yellow/-/A-14305366#prodSlot=medium_1_15" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/merona.....edium_1_15</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865983 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 07:48:05 +0000 Ingunn 865983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - a lot of yellow love here!

I also love Cons, so the idea of a pair of yellow ones really appeals to me. I'd then choose one other yellow accessory to tie in the yellow a little more - a handbag, pendant or scarf of some sort. I think you have plenty of really workable options to choose from!

I think a yellow bag is good for everyone!</p> <p>I got a great yellow leather bag last year (in photo) and loved it! It added such a great pop to all of the black and white I wear. There weren't many colors that it didn't work with. I am thinking of adding a yellow clutch this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865846 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 02:53:54 +0000 Day Vies 865846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are such enablers -- now I want a yellow bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865775 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 01:09:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 865775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. It's not a bright sour yellow, which I think would work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865765 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:54:19 +0000 Ingunn 865765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think white - the yellow one is nice, too, but my instinct says that the color is too dirty/greyed, looking a bit like mustard. Not sure about this, though. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865760 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:51:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 865760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans for sure - I bought my first pair last year and was amazed at how versatile they were. That's why I'm looking for a slightly better pair this year. I'm interested in the Levis as well - here's hoping they work for us!</p> <p>In terms of the other ones, I think the clutch would be a great addition as a current trend. Are you thinking white or yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865758 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:49:46 +0000 Ingunn 865758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I'm mostly fantasizing here. The white jeans are on my list, but the rest is probably not going to happen. Maybe the clutch? It is very pretty, and not expensive. Hmmmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865755 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:47:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 865755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be no help and a total enabler and say I like all of these options for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865753 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:44:58 +0000 Ingunn 865753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Shannon!</p> <p>A little fantasy shopping:</p> <p>#1: Yellow bag - WAY - out of my price range <a href="http://www.zalando.no/mcm-shopping-bag-gul-mc151a023-202.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zalando.no/mcm-shop.....3-202.html</a></p> <p>#2: A white clutch, is also available in yellow, green, red etc. Very nice - and affordable.<br /> <a href="http://www.zalando.no/gianni-chiarini-clutch-hvit-gc251a019-002.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zalando.no/gianni-c.....9-002.html</a></p> <p>#3: Levi's white Demi Curves, straight legs</p> <p>#4: Green sneakers, also affordable <a href="http://www.zalando.no/zign-joggesko-gronn-zi111a065-602.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zalando.no/zign-jog.....5-602.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865743 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:27:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 865743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you know I'm totally in love with yellow so I adore the idea of a yellow bag.

I LOVED my yellow bag last year. Alas, it fell apart on me. But I am certainly in the market for another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865730 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:10:12 +0000 Ingunn 865730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot! I can definitely see both greyed jade and yellow as very exciting supplements to my wardrobe. The green cardigan is probably at least 10 years old. It is in great condition, and I wear it a few times every summer. It could probably use a companion accessory to become less of an orphan. </p> <p>So far I like the idea of<br /> - a yellow bag<br /> - a white bag<br /> - white jeans<br /> - a pair of jade colored shoes<br /> - a pair of yellow Cons</p> <p>Day Vies and Mona, you are spot on. I really need a white jean to tie things together in my wardrobe. How did you know that? I think you are beginning to know my wardrobe quite well:)</p> <p>Harmonica, I've taken snaps of the greater part of my wardrobe with my phone. It isn't all that big:) Whenever I buy something new, I take a quick snapshot of it and resize the image to a height of 300 pixels in Preview (Paint does the same). I have created a lot of Evernotes that contain groups of wardrobe items: Tops, sweaters, skirts, dresses and so on. I paste my photos in the right category. Then I can copy/paste my items into all kinds of new groupings, to try out outfits etc, or as this one. I'm glad you try Evernote, it is very versatile and easy to use. I love that it is accessible across all platforms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865729 Sun, 03 Mar 2013 00:10:05 +0000 Mona 865729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow, cream, ivory or white item would tie the existing pieces nicely. Are you comfortable wearing white jeans? if yes, they would be a great addition to this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865723 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:55:27 +0000 rosee 865723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was trying to get a better view of your profile pic to see your coloring. I also think greyed jade would be good for you, to wear with the reds and blues to soften things up a bit. I like the cardigan you have - some pieces to go with that. Maybe a greyed jade shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865721 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:54:11 +0000 harmonica 865721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!! I love this post, the colours and the pics! How about adding some green? You have the pastel green cardi and you have the lovely scarf. How do you feel about echoing some of that lovely green from your scarf?</p> <p>OT - this was so inspirational that you got me hooked on Evernote! Have you really photoed all the pieces in your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865719 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:51:28 +0000 Day Vies 865719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so organized in your thinking -- I feel like my suggestion would just muddy the water. I'd add a white skinny jean. White on white seems to be a great look and with the vivid and soft tones you have I think it would work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865718 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:50:03 +0000 deb 865718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see mostly blue and red so I woud go with something softer. Both the blue and red are bold so I would bring in more of the greyed jade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865688 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 23:23:16 +0000 Jenava 865688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, yellow would be good! Just eye-balling it, it looks like you have a preponderance of red and blue already, so I'd go with something else that helps capture the spring vibe of these colors. You have only one yellow scarf (I'm biased, because I'm hot for yellow this season myself). You could also bring in more emerald...or what about that lavender color? I'm not sure if that dusty shade will flatter you, but it might be a nice counterpoint to the other primary colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865623 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:18:00 +0000 Ingunn 865623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, a yellow bag was my first thought, too! That could be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-colors---what-would-be-a-wise-addition#post-865575 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:41:40 +0000 Adelfa 865575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, this is a fun exercise. It looks like you are set for red and blue. If yellow is the other color that's appealing to you, why don't you work with that? I would get one or more of the following:</p> <p>1. yellow skinny jeans<br /> 2. a yellow tee<br /> 3. a yellow handbag</p> <p>Of the three I like the bag idea the most. You could get an inexpensive non-leather one (I always feel freer to get inexpensive handbags in the summer). Lots of fabbers seems to love their yellow bags even if they don't wear the color any other way!</p> <p>Have fun experimenting! </p>
