Black sleeveless top right now, black knee boots & black polo in winter?

Thanks!  Gosh, that was a quick reply!!!  Yes I was thinking of black for a bit of drama....or navy or mebbe dark grey??

My weird colour sense would have suggested turquoise or a medium pale purple but you're probably more likely to have black boots so the black top might be easier to do.

It seems a colour that could transition well, through seasons. White, peach, cerise, rose pink in summer perhaps
I was thinking brown, burnt orange, olive autumnal palette immediately, or a crisp white shirt, with a short tweed of browns and yellow type check riding blazer style and riding boots....

And just to make the choice even more confusing how about this for a colour combination 

the photo is from this page Hedera colchica Dentata Variegata. Variegated Ivy Dentata (paramountplants.co.uk). I went looking for a green and cream variegated ivy I saw at a local Botanic Garden a few weeks ago as I didn't take a photo at the time; this isn't quite it but close. The one I'm remembering had pale yellow and quite pale sage green variegated leaves which was a very attractive combination.

I had to look up burnt orange as a colour. Think Floss’ call of black will be easier to implement but fascinated!

Cleveleys & Fleetwood yesterday - somehow a day at the beach includes a careful prowl of charity shops! An Italian cheese press spotted by Himself, some amazing Denby Imperial Blue serving dishes (excused Acquiz Rules as we use Imperial Blue daily) & I was just enjoying admiring a deep blue sky when the phone went. 

“Mum, I’m by this pub, please come & get me” - Not Quite what I expected, but he was there with a laundry basket full of Denby Ode! (And a clutch of DVDs for his own amusement.) We had to buy newspapers to wrap things, & youngest refused to buy any newspaper other than “the i”, so I spent an unexpected half hour sat in a carpark happily wrapping pieces of Denby and loading them back into the laundry basket while the menfolk chuckled at my still sandy feet.
I spend a lot of time indoors looking at computer screens so to spend hours where everything is at least 10 yards away (once we got onto the beach!) or more was blissful.

I hope you paid for the DVDs as a reward for the good find!

No, as he has more money than I do, but I did buy the round of 99s we celebrated with!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts on wot colours look good with yellow.  Gosh you all have some very inspiring ideas re pairing of colours!!  Just wish I had the confidence for bright colours but I always feel so conspicuous when removed from my usual palette of navy/black/beige/sludge green.  I love to see other people in bright colours tho.  Think I will probably end up with the rather boring Hobbs inspired white t-shirt or a black top as mentioned by Brie and DfV

Nothing the matter with a plain white T.  Just make sure you have a lime green or deep apricot scarf as well!!

On second thoughts, you could go with a knotted hem quirky pun or band tshirt and 'sneakers' (as the youngers in my life inform me) - chic, cool, understated
