WIW casual Friday. Too many colours?

I recently ordered this lovely yellow cardigan from Talbots and couldn't wait to wear it. I paired it with my ponte knit polka dot skirt and a simple white tank. I felt like the outfit needed something else so I decided to wear green accessories. I'm trying to incorporate more colour into my accessory choices and I thought this went well. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Cardigan - Talbots
Tank - 212 Kohls
Skirt - Avenue
Wedges - Nine West
Jade jewelry - Chinatown San Francisco

Thanks for looking. Happy weekend , everyone.

My first thought when I read your post title was "no such thing as too many colors!" And certainly not in this outfit! I think it's fab and I would totally wear it absolutely as is!! The green and yellow look so fresh, and I am a sucker for a polka-dot skirt!

The green jewelry is the perfect complement! It's that extra complementary color that lifts this outfit from nice to fabulous! And as MaryK said -- no such thing as too many colors!

Yes, ditto MaryK--no such thing as too many colors! I love how the green jewelry all match. You look fresh in lemon and lime!

that soft yellow is a great color on you, and it works so well with your jade jewelry.

Those colors look so lovely together, not at all too much! I have a very similar cardi, so I'm going to steal your idea and use my green jewelry with it

Lovely! I think the jade jewelry is perfect. The outfit might be flat without it.

A propos of "no such thing as too many colors," if I were wearing this I would be mightily tempted to add a bright red or cobalt handbag!

I love the green accessories with you outfit! The polka dot skirt is great on you.

Mary, what a fabulous idea! I would initially think adding another colour would be too much but you make it look so fabulously simple. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I love this! The cardigan is perfect for your own colors, and the green pops nicely with it. I also like the idea o a third bright color in the mix. Not too much at all!

It's perfect. I love this combo!

Perfect, I love the pops of color!

I feel like the skirt is a neutral (even with the dots) so you have a great balance of colour going on. Classic outfit and I love those beads.
