Helping women love what they wear on a budget

3 Ways to Style a Yellow T-Shirt

March 4, 2019 by Katie Haller

Now that it’s March, I’m looking ahead to spring.  I’m ready to get out of my winter neutrals and add a little color to my wardrobe.  It’s not that neutrals are bad, but sometimes I just get bored with them.  I’m looking to just add a little pop of color just to brighten up my wardrobe a bit.  One easy way to do this is by adding a bright colored t-shirt into your wardrobe.  
Last fall I bought this BP mustard yellow shirt at Nordstrom (HERE– this exact color is currently sold out, but I did link some similar tops below.) It’s a great yellow for fall, but I think that this color can also work all year round.  Today I’ve styled it 3 ways.  Typically, I would have picked out a neutral-colored shirt to wear with these outfits, but when you style them with the yellow, it just adds a little pop of color and makes the outfit more fun for spring.

Outfit #1 Yellow and Turquoise

I’ve always loved accessorizing with the color turquoise.  I love how it looks when you pair it with another bright color.  This is just a simple way to add some extra color to simple jeans and t-shirt outfit.

Shirt- Nordstrom (exact– the color is sold out, similar, similar)
Shoes- ThredUP- Madden Girls (similar)
Purse- Last Call Neiman Marcus (similar) 
Necklace- Nordstrom Rack (similar) 

Outfit #2 Yellow with a striped skirt

I always feel like a bumblebee when I wear yellow and striped together, but I actually do really love the combination.  I always like to add my denim jacket with an outfit like this.

Top- Nordstrom (exact, similar, similar)
Jacket- Old Navy (exact) 
Skirt- ThredUP (similar)
Purse- Last Call Neiman Marcus (similar)
Shoes- Target (similar)
Scarf- Walmart (similar)

Outfit # 3 Yellow and Navy

I can’t help but think of the University of Michigan colors of maize and blue when ever I wear my yellow shirt and navy blazer together, but I do really love this color combination.  For spring, I paired it with my white jeans.  I personally I think white jeans can be worn year round, but I really love my white jeans during the spring.
