Wow! Yellow is so striking in you. I'm no help because I love it all.

This is my kind of dilemma. It all fits really well, and it all looks great (to my eye). Which makes it a very tough decision. So .. how does each piece feel to you? I think I like the darker sweater the most of all three, but I would support you keeping any of these pieces if they really do it for you. IYKWIM.

Well, I have that same yellow and blue sweater and I am very fond of it. It looks great on you. The red and white is also very nice -- the color pattern comes off as a bit more sporty than the blue and yellow. I like the yellow coat, too, though I am not fond of the dark buttons.

Viva - I liked the darker sweater until my daughter told me that I look like a bumblebee. Now I am not so sure any more

UmmLila - yes, I have the same opinion about dark buttons, that is why it is such tough decision.

Oh I like the yellows. Not as gond of the pink color. Nothing wrong with a bumblebee!

I like the darker sweater and the yellow coat. I think the navy takes it out of bumblebee territory.

Tell your daughter bumblebees aren't navy and yellow. I like all three, especially the coat and the navy and yellow sweater. The other sweater is nice too.

I vote keep the coat and yellow/navy sweater for sure. That shade of yellow is wonderful on you. You can change the coat buttons if needed.

Keep the red/white sweater if it fits in with your style and wardrobe. I agree that it looks sportier but color and size look great.

That navy and yellow sweater is an absolute keeper. I like the other pieces, too.

The darker sweater doesn't look a like a bumblebee, hehe, wrong color. Anyway, I love all three pieces on you so I'm no help. I even like the dark buttons on the coat. I suppose you could switch them out, if you really wanted too.

LOVE THOSE TOPS. I have both and love them both, Anchie - see pics below. They are Spring Wardrobe Essentials for me. Workhorses. Gorgeous quality and I adore the back button detailing.

LOVE THE COAT.

The coat and the yellow/blue sweater are standouts. The other colorway of the sweater is neither here nor there to me.

Thank you all, it is very helpful. So far lots of love for coat and navy/yellow sweater and I am leaning on keeping them. Regardin the other lighter color sweater I am currently drawing blank how to style it.

Angie - you look so cute in yours. I would never thought to wear pearls with them. What are you wearing on the bottom with the cream/pink one (or whatever colors they are). How are you styling it? It is obviously not essential for me, otherwise I would not have this problem. And BTW if memory serves me well this coat is same shade as your new Furla. Just saying;)

Thanks, Anchie. I like wearing my stripes with blue and white cropped straight jeans. The scarf pattern mixes really well, and the pearls are a must since the neckline is too wide for me.

As for yellow coats - I'm covered. I was looking at the turquoise - but it's gone in my size.

It all looks good! I like the yellow striped sweater and the coat so well together, I think it would be good to keep both of those. But I also like the red and white striped sweater on you. It looks good with your complexion and hair. I could envision it with your jeans or other pants and the light gray booties you got recently. So if you're trying to narrow things down, I'm not helping, am I?

I also really like all three. But of course I'm a bit biased as I just received the navy/yellow sweater as well.

My yellow (actually citron) coat has black buttons, and I like them. I wear it with a black and white zebra print scarf a lot of the time. And a black bag. I feel very pulled together with that combo.

Angie - Turquoise coat is also beautiful, I was torn between this two.

Elisabeth P - this is great idea how to make black buttons work. And a really nice coat too

Oh, I love that little outfit you just put together, Anchie! Maybe that color is worth keeping too! What shoes are those?

Couldn't you swap out those white jeans for a black skirt, too? And keep everything else the same? Or a white skirt? Or denim?

Stunning! I really love the navy and yellow on you and vote for keeping that sweater and the coat for sure. I am not as wild about the other sweater on you. It's not bad, but it's not as brilliant.

Viv - I tried it with the skirts but did not like it, sweater seems too long for skirts.
Shoes are Hispanitas from about 3 years ago.

Suz - thanks, you are confirming my opinion that the light sweater should go back.

Another vote for keeping the coat and the yellow/navy sweater here. You look amazing!

Yet another vote for keeping the navy/yellow sweater and the coat. After all, they are amazing with your yellow shoes! Would you consider changing out the buttons on the coat?

I think the pink one would look good without the grey jacket...which is what you have in the first picture, I see now

I think the pink looks nice but probably doesn't show up as well in photographs.

I have the same coat as Elizabeth and also like the contrast of dark buttons . It really adds to the graphic /mod sensibility where a gold or tonal button would not . I wear it with navy or with black and a dark scarf . I so wish I had that striped sweater !! Every time I see it on someone here I want it !

I love the coat on you. And the bumblebee sweater but could understand if your daughter's comment would make you avoid it.
