Cheryl Shops

The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, my allergies are going nuts, and thus I'm officially declaring May spring trend month here at Cheryl Shops. I'll be sharing what's on my shopping list for the season over the next few weeks, and first up is mustard yellow, which some people are calling the new millennial pink. That may be a bit of a stretch, as yellow tends to be a polarizing color, but I took this shade for a spin a few weeks ago and found it unexpectedly flattering. Here are some of my favorite takes on the trend.


1. This blazer doesn't seem like it should work—it's double-breasted, oversized, and, well, yellow—and yet it totally does. This is a statement piece for sure, but one that's very subtly done, thanks to the sharp tailoring.
Express double-breasted blazer $148


2. Shoes are a great way to wear this color if you fear it's not flattering on you, because they're pretty much the farthest thing away from your face. I love the twisty bow detail on these, and Sam Edelman shoes are almost always super comfy.
Sam Edelman Darian slides $110


3. It's hard to trace the beginning of a trend, but this sweater was definitely one of the pieces that propelled mustard yellow forward. It's probably too warm to wear it in most of the country for the foreseeable future...unless you live here in San Francisco, home of June gloom!
Ganni Julliard sweater $475

4. I have several Ulla Johnson dresses; they're very boho and feminine but very well made too. I think she had a certain person in mind for this one—and I can totally see that person wearing this—but the fabric and details are just gorgeous, even if you're not a movie star-slash-lifestyle guru.

5. This bag covers two trends—the round shape and the color—at once, and like the shoes above, is a good way to try the trend without having to actually wear it.
Clare V. clutch $230

6. I was drawn to this top because it reminded me of a bodysuit I had in the early '90s. Being a little more fitted, it's a sexier take on the off-the-shoulder trend (which is still going strong), but the color is so bright, it could work for day as well as night.

7. How are these pants only $38? They seem incredibly flattering, in a I-want-to-get-them-in-every-color  kind of way. I love the length, the kick-flare, and the fit!

8. Really, what's not to love about this skirt? The wrap styling is super flattering, the high-low length is just perfect, and the price is right too.
