Dorothy | Quilted Jacket with Daisies

You have decided once and for all that yellow does not suit you!

However, imagine a deep, matte mustard yellow, softened by large white daisies. Stop imagining: this is not a bright yellow; it is an end-of-season yellow, and it behaves like a neutral.

• A warm mustard
  The shade leans towards ochre rather than lemon. It warms both light and darker skin tones, where a bright yellow would have hardened the features.
• Generous daisies
  The flowers are large, designed with broad white petals and a golden centre. The pattern is cheerful without being childish, as its scale is that of a home print rather than a fabric with small motifs.
• Wave quilting
  The topstitching creates regular waves that give texture to the fabric and retain heat. The jacket keeps you warm while remaining soft to the touch.
• Golden buttons
  A row of small light buttons fastens the front up to the high collar. When closed, the jacket almost becomes a safari style; when open, it frames an ecru top.
• To be worn with black
  Black trousers, raw jeans, navy skirt: the mustard pairs effortlessly. It is the only colour in the outfit, and that is enough.

Yellow did not suit you because it was too light or too bright. This one is neither — and it is often the jacket you end up wearing twice a week without even realising it.
