Hello everyone!
Watch your back it's April Fool's day!
My best and only real April Fool's trick was in one of my early year's on TV. I was filling in on the evening news with a co-anchor who hated snow and cold as much I do. I gave my forecast like normal, but at the end I made a fake 7-day forecast with nothing but snow and cold. At the end of my three minutes, I sat back down at the desk and said we were getting a late blast of winter! My co-anchor starting chatting back dissapointed in the cold weather so late in the year. After playing along for a few minutes I put up the right forecast which was sunny and warm each day. April Fools!
I promise no tricks today! I did that one, but it's not really my thing.
As we start to transition to more reliably mild weather, I'm pulling out some of my spring favorites and updating them for 2016. Yellow is once again a hot color for spring and I'm fully embracing it.
For this outfit I picked out a thin cotton sweater in yellow. I added a long tan and white scarf that I tied like an infinity scarf. It instantly updated the sweater and is nice to wear while we still have cool mornings.
The skirt is a favorite of mine from Banana Republic outlet. It's gathered and almost has a poofy look to it. It doesn't go with a lot, but I still love to wear it with the few things it suits. I think this outfit is one of them.
For shoes I went with my matching tan keds to keep the look casual. I trekked all over Italy in these things.
This looks is perfect for those first few mild days of spring!

You look fabulous Julie and YES I need to get a pair of keds for this spring!! Do you always wear your keds without socks?
JulieWunder says
I usually do!
Debbie@debbiethisandthat.blogspot.com says
Very pretty yellow sweater and it looks great paired with the skirt! I don't have a lot of yellow in my closet. I need to look at what I do have for Spring. Have a restful weekend!
JulieWunder says
Thanks Debbie! Hope you had a good one.
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Unfortunately, your forecast would be no joke for the weather we're actually having! Apparently mother nature decided that winter is April. Or Springter. Whatever.
I did have on a yellow cardi (briefly) just yesterday. Sometimes you just need to bring your own sunshine!
JulieWunder says
That stinks! It's been cool and windy here, but nothing like your weather. That is exactly how I feel about yellow.
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
haha that's a great April Fool's joke! I wish the predicted forecast for this weekend was a joke, but alas...
Anywhoooo you look great in yellow!
JulieWunder says
Yeah-- that really stinks! Hope you stayed warm!
Rosey Rebecca says
Super cute! I think we need to go shopping together so you can dress me. I still can't get over your rosey outfit and accessories from our meet-up on Monday!
JulieWunder says
I've been told before I should be a personal shopper 🙂 I was taught by my Mom and Grandmom 🙂 Hope you had a good weekend.
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Love you in that yellow! I never wore yellow growing up (I actually really didn't like the color!). I also had a lot of yellow in my skin tone. But now I love yellow--I have a fantastic yellow maxi that I adore. Have a great weekend!
Jennifer @ Dashing in Style says
That color looks great on you! And that's an awesome prank, ha ha!
Jessica says
The yellow sweater looks so nice for spring.
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I love that April fools day joke! Too funny!
You know I love this yellow sweater!! And that skirt is so cute!
Have a great weekend Julie!
JulieWunder says
Thanks 🙂 The skirt is one of my favorites. Hope you had a good weekend.
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
Loving the yellow this spring! Just got a cute purse in a bright yellow
JulieWunder says
Oh fun! I bet it's adorable!
Annmarie says
That sweater/outfit is ADORABLE on you! I don't think I can pull off yellow with my skin tone and always envy people that can!
JulieWunder says
It's one of my favorite colors to wear. Thank you.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
You always look so cute! I'm so ready to pull out the spring clothes, but winter just won't let go. I''m back in my cords today...
JulieWunder says
I know! We keep getting bursts of it-- I'm over it 🙂 Bring on the spring!

Dannii @ Hungry Healthy Happy says
I really wanted to wear more yellow this year, as it's not a colour I have ever really worn before, but I can't find anything yellow anywhere over here 🙁
JulieWunder says
It feels like you are wearing sunshine when you wear yellow :-)) I hope you had a good weekend.
