Look of the Day: Punchy Purse

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 05:00:22 -0800

A punchy purse can really spice up your 'fit. Take makiwacky's Sunday ensemble - without the mustard-yellow bag, it's cute, but not bold. I also love the contrast between the loose animal print top and the fitted black leggings. The strappy flat sandals are the perfect ending.

Here's what she has on:

Top: Greenhills
Shoes: Ohrelle
Bag: Borrowed from her mom

Congrats to makiwacky!

Look of the Day: Breaking the Rules

FabSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Jezrel and I have something in common: we like to go against the fashion grain. Some might say she's breaking the rules by wearing a white skirt after Labor Day, but I'm all for it. I like how she contrasted the skirt with a pretty mustard colored top and matching accessories. You go.

Here's what she has on:

Skirt: Burberry
Bag: Burberry
Belt: Joseph of London
Top: Stella McCartney
Shoes: Jimmy Choo

Congrats to jezrel!

Trend Alert: Modern Mustard

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:00:11 -0700

Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon? Modern mustard is the latest hot hue. Hear it from Michael Kors when he says, "I think mustard has an automatic warmth to it. They work like the solid that's not a solid. A good investment piece isn't always black pants or a white dress."

This yellowish green looks best on textured fabrics, like a sweater, and if the color doesn't suit you skin tone, opt for a striking belt or bag. How will you spread your mustard?

Look of the Day: Prim and Proper

FabSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 06:00:22 -0800

ohohmommio felt like going prim and proper, so she suited up in pencil skirt, reptile bag, fishnets, and topped it off with a dash of mustard. It's that final condiment that makes the ensemble: the jacket's belted waist and peter pan collar flatter her and provide a retro vibe.

Here's what she's wearing:

Jacket: Coco
Skirt: Victoria's Secret
Fishnets: Unknown
Bag: Vintage
Shoes: Aldo

Congrats to ohohmommio!

Look of the Day: Houndstooth Hottie

FabSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

Rheartsfashion, aka houndstooth hottie, knows how to stand out - just throw on anything houndstooth. Her outerwear looks a lot like the coat I featured, right? So as not to be too colorless, she wore a mustard-colored top underneath. Good thinking; houndstooth and mustard are quite a match.

Here's what she has on:

Coat: Wet Seal
Pants: Jimmy'Z
Bag: From Italy

Congrats to Rheartsfashion!

Look of the Day: A Dash of Mustard

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:00:22 -0800

I'm always a fan of unique and unexpected color combinations, so I love how Priseemichy tempered a dash of mustard and a shot of red with her seafoam-hued bag.

Here's what she's wearing:

Shirt: Fruit of the Loom
Scarf: Forever 21
Cardigan: Target
Jeans: J Brand
Shoes: Thrift store
Bag: Balenciaga-inspired

Congrats to Priseemichy!

Fabworthy: American Apparel Mustard Jersey Dress

FabSugar — Fri, 25 May 2007 08:40:33 -0700

American Apparel is my go-to place for quick, cheap cotton staples. You may all recall Cameron Diaz' total American Apparel-attainable outfit. Even more, their prices are great and the color selections are a dream for those who like to mix and match.

This Mélange Jersey Sleeveless Funnel Neck Shift Dress, $34, is right up my alley. I know the mustard color isn't for everyone but for those with olive skin or very fair skin it works, and the cowl neck is retro fun. I would pair it with some exotic flats, an arm full of bangles and a white handbag - so Fab!

Look of the Day: Beret Chic

FabSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Berets always manage to inject refinement into an outfit. Case in point: moni2182 looked beret chic while going to brunch with friends. Her hat softened up her tough leather jacket, while the mustard turtleneck dress added color. Perfection.

Here's what she has on:

Jacket: Mike & Chris
Shoes: Steve Madden
Bag: Botkier

Congrats to moni2182!

Dress Me Up: Full of Fall

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:00:08 -0800

Donna Karan's Fall collection is the epitome of Autumn. Warm browns, vivid rust, olive green, terra cotta, mustard, and burgundy were the plush colors the designer used to spice up her line. Now is the perfect time to draw inspiration from it and fill our closets with similar pieces. You can even get inspired from the changing colors of the leaves outside. Stick to one or two colors at most. I've found that gray tights are the perfect accent to any autumnal color. If you're still frazzled, study the Fall collections, see my suggestions below, and be full of Fall.

Look of the Day: Savoring Summer

FabSugar — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:00:22 -0700

I like the way you think, nannabean. She doesn't want Summer to end and I don't blame her. It's starting to cool down in her neck of the woods but she's savoring Summer in her cute outfit. I like how her lovely mustard skirt is not overly bright and the belt adds a touch of warmth. It works.

Here's what she has on:

Top: James Perse
Skirt: American Apparel
Belt: Target
Shoes: Target

Congrats to nannabean!
