Divine Style: Fashion and Styling Tips: YELLOW CRUSH

Yellow is everywhere this spring/summer season. Over and over again I hear people say "but I can't wear that color". Yes you can! It is a matter of finding what shade works best for your skin tone and hair color. Fair, light, medium (or olive), and dark skin tones all work with different shades. Fair colored skin looks great in a bright citrus yellow. Olive skin tone can wear mustard, pale yellow, citrus, or lime green/yellow. Pale skin looks best in mustard color or marigold. Dark skin tones can wear pale yellow, citrus yellow, or mustard though. If you aren't sure what shade looks best for you, go to a fabric store and pull out swatches of different shades or find the shades online and print it and hold it up in a mirror and outside lighting to see which illuminates you.

Styling Tips: Not ready to jump into a full yellow outfit or wanting to slowly ease into this color trend? Try adding yellow accessories, such as a handbag, scarf, jewelry, or shoes to an outfit. Wear your yellow shoes with a dark color such as navy, or black to give a fresh look that will flatter your hair and skin tone.

Wear a yellow print. If all over yellow is not flattering to your skin tone, pick a print in a color(s) that work well for you. Choose an eye catching print with yellow mixed in with colors that are flattering to your skin tone to look current. Patterns are big this season.

Wear yellow with a more flattering color. Are you loving the kelly green and bright blue hues that are all over this season? Try a yellow top with bright blue pants or kelly green skirt. Add a belt in a metallic tone, such as gold that highlight the outfit and pull it together. Then add colored jewelry, such as bangles in gold, yellow, and other tones. Layered bangles are great this season for adding color to an outfit. Or try yellow with a navy suit or dress. This is a fresh color combination.

Pair this blouse with white pants, a green slim fit pant, navy blue pants, or a white pencil skirt with blue heels.
