Mellow Yellow

I love yellow. Yellow is the colour of daffodils, warm sunshine and sandy beaches. It is not yet even spring and I have already bought myself two new yellow summer tops. There were plenty of different shades of yellow to be seen at the spring/ summer 08 catwalk shows from bright yellows to acid and mustard yellows.

For those who think that yellow is just not for them, here are some of my thoughts on yellow. If you have never tried yellow - try it on, you might find that it really suits you. Try different shades and tones of yellow. Whilst acid yellow might give you the complexion of a corpse, mustard may make your complexion glow. Be careful what you combine with yellow, some shades of yellow combined with black can look a bit bumble beeish. If the thought of wearing yellow all over is just too much to contemplate, try yellow with a pattern, this will sort of tone down the severity of the yellowness. You could also try yellow accessories such as a bag to brighten up an outfit.
