Day to day, my palette usually consists predominantly of black, white, grey and navy - all classics that work perfectly together, don't date... and are admittedly pretty safe. But hey, if it ain't broke... and it's how you wear them, right?

Each season I try to add to this with a few choice pieces in 'real' colours - right now I'm on the lookout for something in rose (ideally a silk blouse or slouchy blazer), something in soft camel (a lightweight cardigan or wrap, I'm thinking) and something in neon (pumps or beanie, more on these two later). 

But lately there's been another hue on my mind - yellow. It makes you feel good just looking at it, so I imagine you'd feel pretty good wearing it too. I'm really quite drawn to it... only I'm not sure I'm ready to go all out and add major yellow to my wardrobe just yet.

So, I got to thinking about yellow bags - and it turns out there's a delicious great pile of them out there to choose from. I feel like a kid in a candy store...

Lemon, butterscotch, golden, daffodil, limoncello, amber, sunshine, saffron... take your pick!
