spring pantone challenge (freesia)

merona sweater {via thredup*}   ·   blowfish mesa wedges

merona button-down   ·   old navy sweetheart boot-cut jeans

today wraps up the spring pantone color challenge marissa & i have been co-hosting all week!  today's color is freesia, a vibrant yellow.  both marissa & i thought freesia was purple based on the bath & body works scent, but i guess freesia's can also be yellow!  i don't have much yellow in my closet, much less bright yellow, but this sweater arrived in a recent order from thredup and it seemed to fit the bill pretty closely.  since it's friday, i'm wearing jeans, but i did add these fun wedges and a bit more color with the plaid button-down.  if you're gonna wear color, you might as well go all out, right?

we're linking up at marissa's blog today so head on over and add your freesia look if you haven't already.  and THANK YOU for joining us for our third challenge now of interpretating pantone's hottest seasonal colors.  it has been really fun seeing everyone's colorful looks this week.  i'm sure we'll see you again this fall!

get the look:  similar sweater / similar button-down / exact jeans / exact wedges

am i dressed in enough color today!?  i know, i couldn't help myeslf.  i also have to draw attention to these sandals.  i am not an open-toed shoe kind of lady but as each spring rolls around i find myself searching for a pair anyway, maybe to revolt from my feet having been in tights for so many months.  these were a splurge on amazon (i literally stalked them in my shopping cart for a week until one pair was remaining in my size) but i'm really happy with them. it's nice to know i can still push myself out of my comfort zone but be happy with the end result.

thanks for dropping by!
