Color looks good on you. I try to incorporate color too but I have a lot of grey in my closet…
The satchel, the dots, the pretty blue blouse…too cute to handle! LOVE it when people use color to their advantage! 🙂

There is just something about colors in an outfit. It just makes a whole day positive and happy 🙂
You pair all your colors so well together!! I love looking at all your color combos, it makes me want to not be afraid of mixing it up too 🙂
ADORE this (of course I allllways adore your outfits!) I have totally been itching for a spotted cardigan lately and that bag is TO-DIE-FOR. I am a total color-addict too (maybe people think I’m crazy, but, oh well!)
can never say enough how much your blog inspires me!
The satchel is such a dream! I love te bright yellow! X
you can definitely pull off color 🙂 I love that yellow handbag! my goal for fall is to add more color to my wardrobe.
I love this outfit. That purse totally rocks!

Elsie!! you look SO gorgeous in these photos!
and take this as a compliment – you look like a momma (a mega stylish and pretty one!) so have some kiddos soon 😉
I don’t believe in the idea of “to much color” but merely “never enough color”. I love, love, looooove your yellow purse!
I feel the exact same way. Color for me is a must – in my room, my wardrobe, my makeup…anything! :] Your hair/outfit looks super cute in this post. Hope you’re having a great week so far! xo.
Mmmm Hmmm I love yellow and turquoise!

Oh never stop wearing bright colors! Your clothes inspire me to bravely wear colors that usually make me nervous. Is that weird? I hope not. Haha. I love this look. 🙂
love love love that cardigan!
Bright and fun! Well done lady!
That cardigan… Must.have.one.too
I love it’s neutrals combined with the turquoise and yellow and jeans.
You, and other stylish people, have inspired me to not always wear too matching colors. I used to allways make perfect color matches, which isn’t all bad, but it is sort of dull to me now. I now like to be more random looking, although the randomness is thought through… 😉
Ciao!

I LOVE this outfit!! It’s so cute! And the first photo here is simply gorgeous – that smile is *adorable*!! 🙂
that is such a great outfit! loving the cardigan and the bright yellow bag. 🙂
Aw, such a cute outfit! If it wasn’t so hot here today I would try to put something just like it together for myself.
I wanted to share a little story (you get so many comments that I don’t know if you’ll see this, but nevertheless…)
Years ago I used to wear pretty much the same thing every day – blue jeans and a blue, black or white t-shirt. I wore the blue jeans out until I had to patch them all over the place, and then I wore the patches out! Anyway, one day I went to a psychic fair with a girlfriend, and a lady came up to me and asked if I would like to have a reading for free (it was weird, she said that she sensed I was feeling off and she thought she could help). Of course I agreed…
I guess she noticed my attire, and drew a conclusion that it was pretty much my standard garb, and I agreed that I didn’t really think too much about what I wore, I just wanted to be comfortable.
She told me that I love colour – I do, and always have, I just reserved colour for other things, like my own art. She couldn’t have known that, because I didn’t tell her. I didn’t really let on about it, I just waited for her to continue. And she told me that I would feel better if I wore more colour, that it would kind of “put me right” and take the edge off of this “offness” I was feeling. I LOL’ed and thanked her and went home.
But I kept thinking about what she said, and the next time I went out I bought a pink and red sweater… The first day I wore it, I almost felt like a different person in it! It was so great that I eventually filled my closet with only the most colourful things. Now my roommate says it looks like a unicorn threw up in my closet, LOL! But I don’t care.
Yay for colour!
It’s never too much!
Love,
Stephanie May*

I love all the colors! Plus I love that cardigan. The polka-dots are lovely.
i would rather wear color any day! 🙂 that first pic is so pretty. just naturally pretty….and looks ready for autumn! yay!
Oh Elsie, you are so pretty! I wish I could be just as pretty as you are 🙂
I hope you won’t mind what I’m going to say, but I always think of all these years I’ve been following you blog and I keep thinking you’re becoming prettier and prettier, you look so different, everyday more beautiful!
& this is totally random but I so wanna draw a portrait of you! the pictures on this post are just perfect, I really have to do it soon! 🙂
Ooooh, I think I’m in love with the yellow bag!
when it comes to colour, too much is never an issue!

NEW POST: If Vogue would go Disney…
I love mixing bright colors too! Sometimes I admire ladies who pair neutrals in a sophisticated way, but I’m a bit of a magpie in that I’m attracted to the bright and sparkly 😀
I love that satchel! It’s adorable 🙂

I’m really upset I missed my chance on that cardigan. Now it’s all gone 🙁
You look so great! I love to layer so many colors too 🙂

I love color, too! This outfit is so great, I love the cardigan with the shirt and the belt. I’m trying to wear more color, because even though I love it, I still sometimes feel weird when people look at me.
I love the polka dot sweater! So darling!

I love all the colour! I tend to dress like a pigeon…in mainly grey…i need to inject some colour into my wardrobe.
The Betsy Chocolate Jo Tote and the Simple is the Best Cashmere Coat from Asian iCandy are awesome. This is an amazing giveaway!

What color is ur hair?
I love it!
This post is too good. I really like this post. All the pictures are nice. She is looking too good in this post.
love this look! just wondering what size the bag is? xx
I love the pokadot sweater. I also love the hair too. I cut mine, but I do wish I had gone with the bangs and have it layered, instead of being cut above the shoulders and layered. You also have a very wonderful smile.
When I was in grade school I was attending a french catholic private school and my “cartable” (school bag) was exactly like that one but in dark brown. When I first spotted it on modcloth I was brought back in time!
LOVE the polka dot cardigan! WHERE did you get it? I can’t get enough of polka dots!
