Mundane Mondays - Yellow Again

I know I'm not the only one who's obsessed with the Olympics...GO CANADA GO...GO CROATIA GO...just a quick shout out before we begin talking about what I'm wearing...oh one more thing before we get to me, what are your opinions on the Team Uniforms? Did Ralph Lauren do well with dressing the Americans? I was not happy about the uniforms being made in China. What about the Canadian Team? I'm not excited about them but they could be worse. Then there's Armani for Italy and Stella McCartney for the Brits. Fashion is now part of the Olympics.

So here we are, Monday and it is time for the simple things in fashion...yellow denim and blue denim button down. Easy and fresh like lemonade.

When I styled this outfit it brought me back to high school. Button downs and the preppy look were a big trend and Polo was the brand to wear. I still remember seeing Renata K. wearing a white Polo button down (and the little polo man was dark blue) with her jeans and thinking that no one could wear that look better than her. I tried that look in high school but the shirts were too short on my arms!

Some twenty plus years later I'm wearing jeans and button downs and I think I got it. Roll the sleeves. Thanks Renata!
