This Will Brighten Your Day...💛🌼🍋
Why adding a few buttery yellow touches to your life might instantly lift your spirits.
The trend you need to know about? Butter Yellow. Everywhere, and on everything! 🌙
But first, let me tell you about my weekend!
This past weekend, I spent a few days in Charleston, and it was exactly what my soul needed.
As much as I love content creation, working from home (mostly by myself) can feel a little isolating at times.
There was something so refreshing about spending time with other women who are basically my coworkers. 💕
We laughed, brainstormed, shared ideas, and left feeling inspired. It was one of those weekends that fills your cup in the best way.
Speaking of things that bring me joy, let’s talk about the butter yellow trend.
Ever since I thrifted the cutest buttery yellow bucket bag a few months ago, I've been a little obsessed with the shade.
I’ve been crushing on it so hard that my shopping carts have become a little full with all things yellow, but make it grandmillennial style! 🛍️
How to Use Butter Yellow in 2026
Here are the things I’m loving, that I know you will too.
A Buttery Yellow Tote Bag (Hello, Beauty)
Let's discuss the accessory that started my obsession. I actually thrifted it, and it’s J. Crew!
Running errands? Carrying your laptop to a coffee shop? Heading to the farmers market? ☕️
This soft yellow tote somehow makes ALL of it feel a little more fun.
I do believe this exact one is sold out but I searched high and low and found three super similar options for you here, here and here (insanely affordable option).
The Perfect Buttery Yellow Button-Up
A buttery yellow button-up shirt is an easy base for the most adorable look. This was also a thrifted vintage Ralph Lauren (probably Men’s) oxford that has been on my Pinterest board for years.

If you’ve been trying to figure out how to wear your silk scarves, this is how! I love pairing yellow and blue together and this combo was literally perfection.
Sprinkle In a Few Buttery Yellow Home Accents
Not ready to wear the trend? Bring it into your home instead. 🏠
A few buttery yellow accents can completely upgrade your space.
Think throw pillows, picture frames, candles, decorative bowls, etc.
Home Accents I’m Loving
Floral Throw Pillow // Scalloped Picture Frame // Butter Yellow Candlesticks // Yellow Bowls // Striped Ceramic Vase // Scalloped Napkins // Throw Blanket
The color pairs beautifully with blues, whites, natural woods, and rattan textures, making it a no brainer if coastal style is your thing.
A Buttery Yellow Patio Umbrella
This umbrella also helped grow my love for yellow in this season. Isn’t it gorgeous?

Tell me this doesn’t look sound straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie.
Summer dinners outside just got a whole lot cuter.
Buttery Yellow Tops: An Instant Mood Booster
If you're looking for the easiest way to try the trend, start with a top.
A simple buttery yellow blouse, tee, or tank instantly looks on trend and timeless at the same time. 🌝
The shade works beautifully with white, denim, navy, and even soft green tones.
Favorite Buttery Yellow Tops for Summer
Scalloped Hem Tank Top // Eyelet Ruffle Front Top // Linen Tank Top // Cropped Peplum Top // Poplin Button-Up Shirt // Smocked Tank Top // Button-Down Tank
I love that it feels a little unexpected. Everyone has white tops and striped tops for summer, but buttery yellow is more fun!
Every time I put it this color, I DO feel a little happier.
Whether you add a simple button-up shirt, a cheerful tote bag, a few home accents, or even a patio umbrella, these little pops of yellow bring warmth and joy wherever they go!
