Mellow Yellow

What is it about the color yellow that makes you
want to frolic in the midst of an open field? With spring poised to make an
appearance, no wonder this fun and flirty hue has been making the rounds
lately. The citrusy trend has certainly
been a recurring theme at NYFW, designers like DOO.Ri,
Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar De La Renta, Vera Wang, J Crew,
Christian Siriano and a slew of others, have all caught the mellow yellow fever.

There isn’t anything unappealing about the loose-fitting
lemony yellow dress pictured above. The cropped leather jacket she has perched
upon her shoulders adds the perfect dose of street cred to her sunny
disposition. She is as mellow as can be, then again, she has her
multi-colored tortoise sunglasses to shield her from the blinding flash bulbs
of the paparazzi. Additionally, the alternating black and yellow pattern of her
shades lends an element of playfulness to the simple chic dress.

The sheer black tights is a classy touch.  Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, has been
parading this trend all around town. She has even been spotted wearing them
while attending a few of her many royal events.

This fashionista adheres to the simplicity of her attire by
donning black suede booties, along with a simple black handbag with gold accents. However,
a nice belt would have been a nice addition as it would show more of her curves by cinching her tiny waistline.

Lately, I’ve noticed that a few women have been
sporting pink lips with their yellow garments. It’s such an interesting
color combination.  In theory, pink and
yellow sound like an unlikely duo, but in actuality, they’re
quite a match.
