Hello Yellow
It happened twice in the last month. I showed up to meet a friend (two different women on different days) and we were both dressed almost identically--in dark jeans and a bright yellow sweater. What is it about yellow this year? Has anyone else noticed that it's everywhere?
I think yellow has gotten a bad wrap over the years, and I guess I have contributed to this notion. Being olive-skinned, I always thought yellow was wrong wrong wrong for me, particularly the lighter shades. But this year, I decided to give it a shot, and went for this Cotton Rib Detail Scoop Neck Sweater from Ann Taylor Loft. So far, many people have told me I look good in it. And I may soon snap up this Garden Tote from Three Potato Four, for even a bit more yellow in my closet. It seems I am not the only one giving yellow my attention this season. Check out these features on the Web, celebrating the newfound popularity of yellow in fashion circles:
- Mellow Yellow, from Fashion Dummy
- They Call Me Mellow Yellow, from Second Life® Fashion Addict
- Hollywood Has Yellow (Fashion) Fever!, from emitations
- Spring Trend Alert: Bright Yellow, from Fashiontribes.

YELLOW!!! Just say NO to yellow! It looks good on the racks but who can pull off such a color? I hold up a yellow frock and want to burst into tears! I can't decide whether to rush to the plastic surgeon or colorist. "Make me 30 and blond", I beg. Crap I'm over 50 and only look good in black. Is black a color? Or a mood? So women who look good in yellow, congratulations and enjoy it for this one season as black is always back! visit me at www.gonepausal.com i'm kinda cranky.
