Nah, I am far too lazy to dye the top - and it wasn't the colour that bothered me (I do love a white top!), but the construction and the fabric (very stiff).

If you choose to hang onto the white top, you may want to dye it another color - if you think that the fabric can handle being dyed. Some fabrics are great for dyeing, others repel dye. White is nice, especially for summer. But it is not the most practical color in the world.

And you've added just enough yellow to liven things up without overpowering the skirt. Love the jacket and your bling, including the thought bubbles.
