Mellow Yellow, Encore Une Fois


I never thought myself as a yellow sort of gal.  
I made a yellow gingham skirt and shell top when I was 12-13 for my school prize giving.  I bought a yellow sweat shirt in the mid 80s to play skittles.  And I think that's it.

Then this yellow print dress here sneaked in to my wardrobe.  It could have been a one-off, a blip, as I don't normally wear yellow, as you can tell from my 50 year history with the colour.
But then that little dress was joined this year by a yellow cardi and vest, details here.
And now I'm sold on the colour.



I can start the day with the vest (Next) and white shorts (Dotty P), leaving Chateau de la Goujonnerie.  Feeling fresh for travelling.



Then at the end of the day, switch the shorts for white jeans, add the cardi, change to metallic toe flatties


And I'm ready to walk the grounds of Chateau d'Apigne, enjoying the evening sun.


Still feeling fresh in the colour.  Summery.


Yellow makes me smile.


Weirdly, yellow makes me feel lady-like.


Yes.  Me.  Lady-like!


This outfit makes he feel like I'm on holiday.


I'm on holiday each time I wear it.



So, ladies, what's your view on yellow?
Does the colour do it for you?
Or is it a non-non?


A la perchoine.

Two Yellow Peas in a Pod



 Good Friday.  Time for a meal with Rellies in Hastings Old town.
 Foyles old stomping ground.

We chose Porters Wine Bar here




I enjoyed ...


A juicy burger with Monterey jack cheese



And a glass of bubbly!

I would like to take a moment to thank you so much for reading my posts.  I am humbled.  I really appreciate the time you give me when you catch up with my day-to-days.  
Cheers, maties!



So, back to today's title.
Where do my two yellow peas fit in to their pod?

Well, here!


Meet Sis. 

Neither of us normally wears yellow, nor did we know that the other owned a yellow cardi.  And even more surprising is that we chose to wear them on the same night.  
That's sisters for you, eh?!! 
The Two Yellow Peas in a Pod.  
Or The Canaries, as Bro sweetly named us.




Sharp yellow M&S bobble cardi (currently in Sale here), yellow Next sleeveless top here, black M&S jeggings and black Clarks court heels.  Black bead necklace made by SD.

I really should cool this infatuation with the bobble button cardi  - they feature in my posts with embarrassing regularity!


A la perchoine.
