I added yellow and lavender to my spring wardrobe, two colors I previously rarely wore, but cabi’s spring collection featuring some lovely yellow and lavender pieces that caught my eye and spoke to my heart. I followed the nudge, tossing aside old beliefs, notions that yellow and lavender were not flattering on me, and set my sights on a yellow and lavender mix and match ensemble. And, boy am I happy I did! I receive compliments on every piece I wear!
The yellow capsule consists of cabi’s Fold Pocket Tee and comfy, versatile Utility Trousers. In the photo above, the lavender hue is featured in the Imperial Blazer’s shade “Sugar Gum Geo,” in a structured design. I love how this blazer has a modern, vintage style which “dresses up” the casual tee and trousers.
The Fold Pocket Tee and Utility Trousers pair together for a casual monochromatic look advertising sunshine and spring. This cheerful yellow color elevates my mood, makes me feel happy and confident. Every single time I wear this outfit it puts a smile on my face and on someone else’s when they see it!
The other main color character in the show is a soft lavender hue. Don’t underestimate the power of this delicate, feminine color. It proudly holds its own when paired with the bright yellow, offering a tranquil balance.
The soothing lavender hue of cabi’s sleeveless Cutout Top in shade Aster is a versatile addition to my spring wardrobe. The lightweight body-skimming fabric with cutouts along the neckline creates an upscale look. I love how it elevates the casual Utility Pants creating an outfit that will transition from daytime to evening. The keyhole tie at the back of the Cutout Top is a statement feature!
Throw on the Imperial Blazer and this outfit is sure to make a grand entrance! The asymmetrical close is my favorite feature. Yellow and lavender, two colors I neglected to embrace and now adore. One bold, one soft, yet the two marry together in yin and yang “fashion.”
If you have been following my cabi spring collection journey, you know my number one MUST HAVE are the white denim Trouser Jeans. Pairing the jeans with the lavender Cutout Top and Imperial Blazer created a perfect Mother’s Day Brunch outfit!
You can find all these pieces in cabi’s spring collection! I’ll be back next month with more cabi styles to share with you! You won’t want to miss it!

Purple(lavender for more sophisticated folks) looks great on Barbie! And mixing it with Yellow was a genius move for her. The mix and match shows how versatile this cabi lineup can be. She certainly got my attention with the sassy blazer as well! Well done my love!
I was so pleased with your reaction when you saw this outfit on me! Yes, the blazer is a bit sassy! xoxo
You’ve definitely made two very different colors work well together! Looks great!
Thank you! I didn’t realize that these colors are complementary on the color wheel! So, yes, when put together they work!!
I absolutely love this color combo. Yellow is one of my favorite colors and you are so right about it saying SPRING!
All of the pieces are beautiful, but I have to say my favorite look is your Mother’s Day Brunch white trousers and lavender top. Wow, so so pretty!!!
Thank you for sharing these lovely pieces with us, Barbie!
Thank you for your kind words, Loretta! I’m so pleased with all the spring collection pieces I have received from cabi!
Yes, the white and lavender is a beautiful look!
That is an amazing combination of colours. Totally against expectations. I love the freshness of it and it looks so cool with the sunglasses.
Hi Marijke! I think it is a unique color combo, but not so according to the color wheel where they represent complementary colors. Thank you for mentioning the outfit looks “fresh.” I like that descriptor!
I’ve always loved Cabi pieces and this proves why!! I have quite a few of their items thrifted but that blazer is calling my name (don’t you hear it, LOL)
XOOX
