I love the color marigold for spring and summer. To me, it represents sunshine and happiness!
When I was perusing the Marks & Spencer website, I saw so many pieces in beautiful earthy tones, including my favorite marigold. Marigold isn’t bright yellow. Instead, it is a more organic looking hue that looks great on any skin tone. I picked out and styled a couple spring looks; one for work and a casual weekend look, all around this gorgeous springy color.

Marks & Spencer is sometimes an overlooked store for us US dwellers, but it shouldn’t be. They have so many affordable and on-trend pieces, and ship really quickly to the US.
For my first look, I couldn’t resist styling this beautiful kimono dress. It is perfectly appropriate for work with conservative sleeves and a longer length. The fabric is thick, so you don’t have to worry about uncomfortable lines and clingyness. The wide belt is extremely flattering, too. I typically wear a US 2-4, and the UK 8 fits me perfectly.
Since DC gets kind of cold in the mornings and evenings, I picked out a pink trench to go with my marigold dress. For commuting and such! The trench is such amazing quality, and only $69! It comes in neutral colors like black, navy, and khaki, but I thought the pink best suited my personality.
And what’s a work look without a fun little flair? I couldn’t resist these pom earrings with the fun shell detail. They combine three trends in one – pom poms, tassels, and beachy vibes!

For my casual look, I chose marigold linen pants and a simple scoop-neck tee. I didn’t know I was going to love these pants so much, but now I want them in every color. I typically wear a size 25 or 2-4 in pants and I went with the UK 8 short.
My black and white block heels are just what I never knew my wardrobe needed. Is that a tongue twister? Anyways, I love them! First, they go with everything. Second, the heels have Insolia technology, which is designed to redistribute your weight away from the balls of your feet. It seriously works. Marks & Spencer has a lot of comfortable but stylish shoes using Insolia, including these cute mules, too.
Thank you to Marks & Spencer and Shopping Links for sponsoring this post.

My favorite look from last week was from Shauna from Lipgloss and Lace.
Shauna got her new bike for Christmas last year. I think it is just the cutest accessory, don’t you think?! She even attached a speaker to it! Anyway, her outfit is just as darling, with the perfect ruffled top and pom bag. And can we just agree – hair goals!?
Marks and Spencer sounds like a fabulous brand, I mean shoes that redistribute your weight?
I love both outfits! The dress is a beautiful colour, and your bag is fabulous! M&S is an institution in the UK – I have loads of clothes and shoes from Marks and Sparks, as it’s often referred to here. Thanks for linking up to Style With a Smile 🙂

I love that shade of yellow. The dress is absolutely adorable and I love the tie waist. And the yellow with the pink is perfect!

Thanks, Mary! Marigold is the perfect shade of yellow, in my humble opinion.
You look so lovely in these outfits.
You know I love marigold. These outfits are fantastic. The dress, shoes and bag are all beautiful pieces. In Albania, they had a couple of Marks+Spencer stores and they have great things.
Hope you had a great Easter and Passover week. I sent you an e-mail, did you get it?
Thank you, Ada! Yes, I know you do! And you look fab in it. I got your email – thank you!
You are certainly marvelous in marigold! Marks and Spencer sounds like a fabulous brand, I mean shoes that redistribute your weight?! That just sounds fantastic.

Thanks, Jill!
That pink trench looks amazing with the marigold dress! Great job with both of these outfits. I see Mark and Spencer advertised all the time in magazines but have never shopped there.
Thank you SO much! You should definitely take a look. I think you’d really like it since you love classic styles like me.
Marks and Spencer si one of my favourite brands here in the UK. You look fabulous in the Mustard dress! Thank you for hosting xx
