Trelise Cooper style fussy details are definitely not something he likes either. He once said about one of her designs "I just don't understand why women like wearing things like this..."</p> <p>Angie - your homes are stunning! Of course Sam in your yellow scarf is just so adorable.</p> <p>JAileen - I think my Mum would have loved that dress too. Red was always a great colour on her, so that dress with the yellow and red print would have ticked off both of those boxes.</p> <p>Barbara Diane - it is true that having items to remember my Mother by is very special.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-mustard-lite-dressing#post-2099604 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 05:02:01 +0000 Barbara Diane 2099604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having something like that that keeps loved ones close is a special gift.

Citron is all over both of our homes. ALWAYS choose &nbsp;yellow tulips if I can get them. Makes us happy:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-mustard-lite-dressing#post-2099437 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 06:24:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 2099437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree about Trelise Cooper. I find in the past in my NZ fashion magazines there were often dresses of hers that I would initially be drawn to. Then I would look closer and think oh, I wish it didn’t have those lace sleeves as well as the beading, would prefer one or the other. And my DH doesn’t like her stuff, years ago she did these dresses with tulle net poking out underneath and he said they looked like those bath scrubbers/poufs! And hasn’t changed his opinion of her, whenever her name is mentioned he brings that up!<br /> Interestingly her clothing is not featured in the magazines so much any more. The current editors seem to prefer more avant garde stuff. I still often like some of her items if they are not over-designed. Your dress of hers is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-mustard-lite-dressing#post-2099431 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 05:49:12 +0000 Bijou 2099431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>April </b>- I was lucky that my Mum's favourite colour was one that radiates happiness too, very much like her vibrant personality.</p> <p><b>Slim Cat</b> - I am looking forward to wearing my sour yellow dress. I have been invited by a friend to go to a Michael Buble concert on Saturday, so it may be a great place to have a "first wear" and create happy memories for this dress.</p> <p><b>Angie</b> - it is lovely to have this association with yellow and my Mum. Not to mention that yellow is one of your signature colours, so that makes it special too.</p> <p><b>Bonnie</b> - thank you. It is funny, I never really thought of myself as someone who looked good in yellow, it probably just took a little time for my eye to adjust to how I look in it and getting the right colours.</p> <p><b>Sal</b> - I love the dresses too, but then I will always be a dress girl at heart.</p> <p><b>Rachy</b> - it is lovely to have this connection with my Mum who also loved her clothes and fashion.</p> <p><b>Suz</b> - It has be fun to incorporate a less flattering colour into my wardrobe - wearing these colours with reds, pinks and whites keeps them feeling fresh for me. I love how yellow works with blue, so there is room for me to play around with those combinations too which always looks so wonderful on you.</p> <p><b>kkards</b> - thank you, and yes these pieces are more emotional choices than simply finding something to wear.</p> <p><b>Taylor</b> - you are always so kind and understanding.</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl </b>- it is true about blondes and yellow. My hair is lighter than I previously wore it and perhaps that is why I can wear yellow more easily than before. I want to avoid a fuzzy duckling or bumblebee look (which can happen with the classic yellow and black combination).</p> <p><b>Jenna</b> - my sympathy on your recent loss. It really helps to wear/use and enjoy the things that remind you of your Mom. xxx</p> <p><b>Shevia </b>- thank you I always feel uplifted when wearing my yellow pieces.</p> <p><b>Jenni</b> - I really love to buy local and NZ designed garments. I particularly love the Trelise Cooper dress and wish that she would do more dresses like this one. Beautiful fabric, classic cut and design and show restraint by not bedazzling the garment. So often I look at her items and think it is just "too much" - which for someone who has a maximal style - that really says something!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-mustard-lite-dressing#post-2099428 Sun, 16 Feb 2020 05:09:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 2099428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely thing to happen.

I love that.&nbsp;</p> <p>I understand your hesitation re yellows. They are my "worst" colours and technically should have been my mother's worst also -- but one of my favourite outfits on her was a soft butter yellow dress with pleats -- I still remember it. (Similar to the colour of your knit top.) It was so flattering on her! And some of my happiest memories of her are from the summer days she wore it. </p> <p>I imagine you look stunning in yellow if it is the right one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellow-mustard-lite-dressing#post-2099304 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 18:54:19 +0000 rachylou 2099304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply lovely.

I always gravitated to red, blue, pink and neutrals.</p> <p>Yellow was my Mother's favourite colour - she loved it and loved to wear bright colours. Mum died 20 months ago and since then, I have been drawn to yellow and mustard. I have been surprised that I enjoy wearing it and have gradually collected clothing in different shades of yellow, a collection that happened without me even being particularly aware of it. </p> <p>Every time I wear yellow, I always think of my Mum. As a Stay-at-Home Mum, she did not have much opportunity to dress up, so whilst she would have loved my dresses, it is unlikely she would have bought them for herself. The bright yellow blouse would have been more likely to be what she would have worn herself.</p> <p>My first yellow acquisition was the gold velvet dress, I bought it on sale and was really unsure but it was just after Mum had passed and I did think at the time "she would love this on me'. It has proved to be a real workhorse, having had it for close to 2 years now and going into its 3rd winter. My initial foray into yellow was a wildcard purchase that paid off.</p> <p>My most recent acquisition was this satin yellow dress, which is more of a sour yellow rather than mustard. With my climate, these dresses are fine to wear most of the year including winter, because my winter is mild and I can wear a jacket or coat for warmth. I really like how bright and cheerful a yellow / mustard dress is on a cold wet day and enjoy having a new to me colour in my wardrobe. </p>
