Well it’s another gorgeous 80+ degree day in Chicagoland! And what better color in the Pantone-inspired Spring Color Challenge than a bright yellow, or the “official name” lemon zest! I had grand plans to style an adorable yellow blazer I picked up from Goodwill for a whopping $4.99, but it is in the laundry (I just had to wash it before I wore it!) That blazer will make its debut soon though!
Instead, I opted for this tweed skirt from Target (mainly because it was 70% off and I got it for under $7- woo hoo!). It has a neon yellow in it which gives it more of a pop than a neutral tweed skirt. (Also worn here.)
I wore this look a few weeks ago (when it was colder) and tried it with boots- which do you think works best with this outfit? Wedges or boots?
Boots & wedges: Target
Skirt: Target (on crazy clearance!)
Sweater: Gap Outlet
And in case you missed my previous looks from the week, here they are! Which one is your fave?

I really like the lemon colored top! So bright and cheery. And I think I like the wedges better, but you look great in both! :)

Thanks girl! Yeah I think the wedges are better too- the boots chop up the outfit a bit too much for my liking.
gray and yellow is such a great combo. i love the shape of the skirt on you!
I totally agree on the color combo! I love the cut too- so much so that I got another version in coral HA! Gotta love Target!
I like the wedges best! And what a perfect spring color!
Thanks lady! Yeah the wedges are my fave too–maybe since I’m in spring mode..the boots look too well, COLD!
I agree with the above commenters that the wedges look best! My favorite look of the week has to be the green blazer. That may just be because green is my favorite color!
I am loving that blazer too- a colored blazer should be a closet staple! Really transforms an outfit!
Definitely wedges! And I keep seeing this skirt and the associated jacket on sale at Target and love the look of them. Great job pairing it with the yellow sweater!
Thanks Erin! Yeah that tweed skirt/jacket business is on super clearance it seems! They make a coral tweed version so I definitely picked that up too haha!
I have the jacket that matches that skirt, that I got for 50% off! It’s one of my fav pieces, haha! Been looking for the skirt but can never find it in my size. I like the wedges better with bare legs, but the boots with black tights will be super chic in fall!
YES! What a great find- I love the colors/texture of it! The skirt was tough to find– maybe online? Good call on the boots + tights- that would be lovely!
Both looks are great, but I love the wedges most :) Out of your outfits so far, it’s a tie between emerald and african violet! So pretty. Thanks for linking up again!
Thanks for hosting such a great link up- so much fun! :-)
Pretty sweater!

Anytime Sarah- thanks!
That color looks fabulous on you! Both options are great, but if I had to pick one I’d say wedges!
Thanks Stephanie- I was glad I ventured out to wear this color! Looks like the wedges have won!
