A super affordable spring look.
The color mustard hasn’t historically been my jam. But I feel in love when I test drove the color last fall (here and here). Now springs lines are incorporating mustard in pieces like floaty tops and dresses, which feels really cool and fresh for a traditionally fall color. I picked up this mustard blouse at Forever21 (limited sizes still available, but this tank is super similar and ridiculously affordable) and paired it with a cool pair of button-fly high-waisted jeans from H&M (a $20 score) and white booties.
What I love about this outfit: the entire look (top, jeans, booties, and necklace set) retail for just $70. Come through, Forever21 and H&M. (The sunnies are Ray-Ban, so they retail higher, but these dupes are a great under $15 grab.) You can absolutely find pieces to freshen up your closet for a new season without breaking the bank.
Shop the look:
I’m looking forward to remixing this mustard blouse with denim shorts and sandals once summer hits, or even worn over the top of a slip dress as part of a warm-weather layered look. The little knot and cropped nature is really boho, but the boxy cut makes it easy to wear and layer with other pieces.

Mustard looks so good on you! I like it on other people, just not on me. And I love the idea of layering it over a slip dress!

Maybe you could rock a mustard shoe? Or a bag? Get in on the trend without wearing it as a clothing item…? But yes- cannot wait to wear this with a slip dress!
I’m enjoying the resurgence of mustard and rust in recent days, picking up the top at F21 is always a good way to test drive a trend and see if it works for you!

Yesss- I used to think these colors were “drab” but MAN, was I wrong!

That layered necklace is so cute! I too have been seeing mustard showing up in more Springish/Summery tops! Love this tie top you’re wearing!

I totally agree with you and mustard was never my jam until this past fall/winter and while you’ll never catch me eating it😝, I’ve added quite a few pieces to my closet and just love them. Getting an entire on trend outfit for $70 should get you some kind of award. LOL Super cute! You’re also right, I think you’ll get a lot of wear out of the cute tie top. Thanks for joining Fabulous Friday! XO
Thanks, Lisa! And it’s crazy how I’ve been gravitating toward mustard-colored pieces lately!
I so love mustard colored fashion! This top is so cute and looks great on you!

I really like that mustard blouse!
That color looks gorgeous on you! I’m happy to see it is officially warm enough in KC to shoot in short sleeves. The weather has been nicer in KC than in LA lately, I’m so ready to move!
Ahhh- the countdown is on! 🙂
Mustard is such a gorgeous color! I love how you paired your blouse with the white boots
