my two favorite colors these days are mustard yellow and a dark crimson red, though you’d probably never know it since i hardly ever wear said colors. instead, i always gravitating towards every possible shade of blue, from pale as the sky to dark inky hues. it’s definitely been a process collecting more pieces in the bright colors that i love. you probably remember months ago when i was obsessed with finding the perfect red cardigan, and how i haven’t shut up about hasbeens hasbeens hasbeens. i finally have both and i’m just happy as a clam. so what better way than to celebrate wearing some of my favorite things?
and can we talk about hansel from basel? i know i already added them to my spring shopping post, but i just have to mention them again. i discovered the line after reading a post over at fashion for writers and now i’m hooked. i will admit that i have a bit of brand loyalty to my favorite hosiery over at tabio (the 110 denier tights) and wolford (the merino wool tights), but good socks can be hard to come by. which is why i am in love with the pretty designs over at hansel from basel. they are fun and quirky, but never over the top. and they are just perfect for wearing with spring sandals.

i love the socks with the shoes! it's the perfect pairing. petty blouse too.

Such a cute look, love all the primary colours mixed together. Those shoes are delightful.

Never got to say this but… you rock! I'm definitely loving your style.
Now that I think about it, you just might have inspired me to wear the pumps I wore today. We're shoe cousins for the day ;)

The shorts and the blouse are lovely!
ADORABLE! The Hansel from Basel + Swedish Hasbeen combo is the best thing ever!

I love the shoes, they are so cute, especially with those socks!
Carmen.xx.
Really love this look! I always love primary colors. The socks and shoes are so perfect together. I really need a red cardigan in my wardrobe, too!
love the primary colors here
I'm especially impressed at how the colour of your socks, belt & neckline all co-ordinate. That's true dedication right there! And thank you for the sock tip x
Oh! Those socks make me happy :) This outfit is definitely FTW!
cuuuuuteeeeee! those socks are just darling ^.^
Adorable, but aren't you cold? Unless it's a ton warmer in Oakland than SF, it's not feeling too spring-like 'round these parts lately.
OOO I love this outfit!! So retro!
Great colors! I almost wear mustard yellow too much, if there is such a thing. :)
dang. you are so so good!
Still have to find me a pair of those socks! They look great! :)
So all your awesome Hasbeens outfits are totally giving me inspiration for my new pair! I love the primary colors in this one!
those sock are so adorable, and they are perfect with those shoes! I love your outfit!
I adore this look, it's really pretty :) Thanks for the link to the hansel line, checking them out now.
I happen to love those two colors as well, and when I wear them together, I can't help but think I look as thought I should be propped up on a diner booth table. Ketchup and Mustard…get it?
the combo of socks + hasbeens looks as divine as it sounded when you were first contemplating buying them!
i absolutely love this, you look fabulous.
I love this, red, blue, and yellow are one of my favorite color combo! Love the socks with clogs, and your shorts are totally rockin'!
I love this outfit! the colours are great, and I love the socks and sandals!
i love the shoes and socks!!!! they look like they blended and are just boots! :D
this might be a bit biased (because our haircuts look very similar), but this haircut is my favorite on you. also, those shoes…i want, and not sure if you've worn that top before but i heart it. :)
You look so cute! I still don't have the guts to wear socks with sandals. One day for me, one day.
i knew it. i just knew it. as soon as i wrote a blog post about you and your incredible style, you'd come up with ANOTHER outfit to amaze me.
maybe i'm fashionably clairvoyant. hmm …

love the styling and the blouse in particular. still desperately coveting those hasbeens. xo caitlin
I enjoyed browsing through the sock sites.
k, bai.
I love all the colors! They all pop! I would never be brave enough to wear an outfit like that (for fear of condiments), but I'm glad you are…because it absolutely works for you! I love the denim shorts and that sock/heel combo. I'm in love with your hasbeens…
i would rip those shorts right off of ya if i saw you in real life. super cute!
i was totally imagining those socks to be taller! still, so cute!
Very cute socks!
This is such a happy pairing of colors and shapes! I just got my hasbeens in the mail and can't wait to style them up. Thanks for the inspiration, sweets!

I love this outfit! Especially mixing the sweet/romantic top with the tailored shorts and Hasbeens; makes the outfit amazingly casual and yet sophisticated at the same time. :) Really loving the colors too!

This is like my dream outfit. You have everything it needs: Mustard shoes, socks, red cardigan, I love everything!
I'm slowly melting! love the shoes ofcourse and the socks!
ok, tell the truth- are the swedish hasbeens comfortable? i was looking at them the other day in the store, thinking they can't possibly be comfy. what's the verdict?
Loving the lace tee.
Wow I'm totally loving this whole look!!
This outfit is adorable! Love it!
I love this color combo, it's making me want to buy more red. And new socks!
