HERE COMES THE SUN, LITTLE DARLIN'...

AND I SAY, YELLOW IT'S ALL RIGHT.



Obsessed. I am. I love yellow so when designers started breaking this color through their Fall and Winter collections this year, I was so very happy. It's a color we normally celebrate in the warmer months, but why can't we throw in a yellow cashmere sweater or a shiny yellow sequin skirt this Winter? Hmmm? Yellow brings a stylistic edge and some much anticipated joie de vivre to your otherwise bundled, dark Winter appearance. If you're an olive-skinned beauty, yellow is your friend and surely any derivative of this happy color will work. If you're more of a porcelain or yellow-based skin type, try an incandescent yellow color as shown on Balenciaga Fall 2010 runway. This will help you look less, well, pale.

BALENCIAGA FALL 2010
LOVE THESE PANELED, INCANDESCENT YELLOW PANTS. TO DIE FOR.
BURBERRY PROSRUM FALL 2010
LOVE THIS MILITARY COMBO LOOK WITH A MESH GREEN-YELLOW DRESS. 
 Yellow goes so well with olives and grays. Try it with a military vibe, using the yellow pop of color as your piece de resistance. Add in the Burberry booties as pictured above and you're all set (am also obsessed with these).

DON'T KNOW WHO MAKES THIS JACKET, BUT WILL FIND OUT.
LOVE THE CUT AND THE COLOR.

MARC JACOBS FALL 2010
ADD A POP OF YELLOW IN YOUR BAG.
Rather than do a true yellow, stick to a more mustard-green or a paler version of the color. That will make it current. If you want and are feeling especially brave, you can try yellow in a neon. Again, a darker complexion does better with bolder variations of this color. Not everyone has the fashion bravado of Mz. Thang, Rhianna.

HOW HOT WOULD THIS BE WITH A MOTO JACKET?!
Yellow, is it me you're looking for? Sorry, I really couldn't help myself. Have fun with this one, ladies and gents.

  1. I love Yellow and I'm so glad it's getting it's say this season! I get so dreary with all the neutral and earth tones in Fall and Winter, so I love that I can incorporate a little sunshine into my wardrobe.

    I really, really adore that pop of Yellow with that Marc Jacobs suit. So fabulous.
