Yellow and Grey. Let's Discuss...
Permalink Closed


In case you haven't seen the Yellow and Grey stitch (featuring ico's Rome window shopping pics smile) check it out here!

I really like how the yellow pops against the grey.  However, it seems to be a more difficult task to find yellow and grey in home items at this time.  Seems as though this was a home trend a couple of years ago, and now it's appearing in fashion?

thoughts?

I have a question about yellow and gray...

I have a swing cardigan like this:

If I pair it with gray dress pants what color shirt should I wear?

I personally, would wear a white blouse under that (see the store window below.)  I think it would look really great!


your vest looks very similar to the outfit in the forefront.  also, the outfit behind it shows a white blouse under a yellow jacket with gray pants.

I would also like the gray and yellow trend with navy. In fact, I just went shopping on Monday (for the first time in what is probably months) and all that I bought was gray, yellow, or navy. I've tried white shirts before, but I just muck them up so I don't do white.

Here's another question...what color shoes do you wear with the yellow and gray? I like the idea of a gray top with navy pants with a pop of yellow as the shoe but what if the top is yellow?

I think grey would create a nice, clean line.  But I've also been seeing some really cute yellow shoes out there too.  I think a patterned yellow shoe could look great with that combo.

I also think silver or black would work as well.

I'm home sick today, so I surfed for a few yellow and gray home items. There aren't as many as one would hope. Here's what I found...


West Elm featured a lot of yellow in their most recent catalog. Here are a few images off the site.

I like yellow and gray all around, but I can't look good in yellow so I have to be careful!

I love grey and yellow together and agree with relrel on navy in the outfit too.  

D:  I love your stitch and this it is right on point for spring.  Was gonna commnet yesterday and got distracted.

I think navy shoes can work, depending on the outfit.  Also, if your wearing a skirt - I like doing a nude heel when I'm wearing a lot of color - blends in with the skin and doesn't distract from the rest of the outfit (or look to matchy)

I've been buying this combo for Spring too and LOVED seeing it when I opened the site up. I've actually found a couple cute yellow items at the Gap!

Love the bedding from macy's! I saw it a while ago so it's probably sold out by now.
I noticed these at J.Crew:

I heart.gif yellow and gray.  I have been wanting some yellow ankle pants like jcrew had awhile back.  I am thinking of pairing a gray ss cardigan with them and a white cami.  Also, I want to get a lt gray pencil skirt and put a yellow top with it.  I also like kelly green and gray together.

I can't tell what color the embroidery is, but this yellow bra and panty set from VS is pretty cute.

Since D's stitch, I can't visit a site without bumping into something yellow and gray...

Me too. Yellow is off the menu for me. Generally speaking, though, when a color one likes and looks good in becomes trendy again, it's a good time to stock up on it.

I saw this chair yesterday on a design blog... decor8? designsponge? I can't remember. But it's a great, yellow pattern:

And these are gray, although they don't go with the above chair at all:

There will be a lot of yellow in Orla Kiely's new Target line, but it looks like it's mostly yellow and brown, although it's hard to tell in all the online pics: http://decor8blog.com/2009/01/13/orla-kiely-home-collection-for-target/

Love the stitch, btw!

I think that pale grey makes a perfect soft palate with all the bold colors of spring. I also have been seeing it paired with greens & purple/lilac as well. I love yellow, and I really love to wear it when I have a bit of a tan !

Isnt spring fashion the best!!!!!

I love yellow and grey too!  I have a yellow and grey print top from Anthro that I love.  And I agree with the yellow-grey-navy combo too.

By the way, I have this duvet cover and am listing it on ebay this weekend because it just doesn't go with the rest of my bedroom...in case anyone is interested.
