Confession: I’m not very adventurous with nail colour. I tend to stick to reds, nudes & darks because I fear that other colours can easily result in a tacky look. Inspired by all the summery colours (and free manicure bar) at last week’s Joe Fresh event, however, I decided to take a risk and replace the classic red I had on for a fun yellow. It was a risk well taken, as it quickly became my favourite part of this outfit: the bright Canary hue not only provided a fun, quirky pop to a black and white canvas, but had the effect of making me feel instantly happier.



Wearing: YesStyle blazer (c/o), Ministry of Retail blouse (c/o), 7 For All Mankind pants, Bally bag (vintage), Zara shoes, House of Harlow sunnies, BCBGMAXAZRIA ring & necklace, Joe Fresh Canary nails

  2. I’m like you in that I always stick to nude or light pink nail polish because it tends to look good with everything. Your yellow polish look fabulous with your outfit. You are motivating me to be a bit more adventurous with my nails!

  3. Perfection. I LOVE that blazer, top and everything about this outfit!! And I agree, the canary yellow nails are the perfect end to the outfit :)

  5. I know just what you mean about colours, Jen – there is something about black, white and gray that makes me feel much more fashionably secure :) But a little pop of colour within a neutral ensemble is something that can never go wrong, and your bright nails are a perfect example of that. I hope you’re having a lovely long weekend, in spite of the rain!
