What to Wear With Yellow

Flipping through a magazine from 1960 this morning, I came across an article about what to wear with what, and there was yellow yet again!  In case you're thinking, "#IWouldWearYellow, but I have nothing to go with it," here are loads of ideas for you, my dears.

Then, a couple of nights later on "Fashion Star", Jessica Simpson and Nicole Ritchie both said "I would wear yellow" in response to Terron Schaefer of Saks who said he wasn't a fan of Lisa Hunter's yellow coat.  Jessica tweeted #IWouldWearYellow, and the phrase has now become a popular hashtag.

 Yellow can be a difficult color to wear and you should be careful to choose a shade that compliments your skin tone.  But the color is bright and happy and you'll convey that mood when you wear it.

 Yellow comes and goes in popularity, but if you like to wear this color, now is your moment!  We're seeing celebrities wear bright yellow on the red carpet, there is lots of yellow in stores for summer, and I predict this trend will continue into fall.
