Yellow is truly tricky -- at least for me! A soft butter yellow is supposed to work (I mean in theory) -- and it did look nice on my mother, back in the day, but it washes me right out.
Lisa, I look forward to seeing you in your new sweater!
Janet, I love that Athleta bomber!
LJP -- yes, the light changes and bam! I want different colours, even if it is still too cold to wear true spring fashions.
Cookie, Jenni, Ket, JAileen, Inge, Robin -- thanks!
Re the coat--. I love having a white coat. I actually have several different versions for different seasons. This is my late fall/cool spring verstion and it is totally waterproof with a light lining, from Helly Hanson. Really a gear type coat more than a fashion coat, but we wear what we wear for practicality, too! I can layer this over a packable puffer if need be.
I also have a white winter puffer (which works here, where green is the predominant colour most of the winter so there is contrast) and an oyster short puffer, plus a light cream puffer for gear activities! Oh, and an oyster raincoat! True white is better on me than the off-whites/ stones but they seem to work as well, better than I might have imagined.
