Yellow Fever

One of my favorite colors this season is yellow.  It can be a tricky color for most complexions and often works best as a companion to other colors.  However, yellow is a warm color and symbolizes happiness and joy.  What better way to add a little sunshine to your wardrobe when the days are shorter and the temperatures are colder.


Here are a few tips on how to mix yellow into your wardrobe.


1.  Wear yellow as an exciting contrast with reds or other richer colors.  Blue is also a great contrast.  Try a denim or chambray shirt.

2.  Pair yellow with classic tweeds and add in a touch of black.  This is an old school outfit with a punch of color.

3 & 4.  Use yellow as a way to perk up basic neutrals like taupe, grey, or other subdued color palettes.  You can also wear yellow in accessories such as the printed scarf, boot, and bracelet below.

Yes - it is okay to wear brown and grey together.

5. Try an unexpected color combination like hot pink and yellow.  Break it up with a basic jacket like the denim one pictured below.  While the colors below seem very "summery" - it is actually a perfect way to bring bright colors into your wardrobe for winter.  Adding in an animal print belt gives the outfit a little texture while simmering the colors down a bit.
