I was strolling through Forever 21 the other day and every other item on the racks were bright, bright yellow. I think the color looks especially good on our skin. See the ladies above for inspiration and this model in Catherine Malandrino’s Banded Mini Dress (which is sold out at Saks). Like most trends, you don’t have to wear it from head-to-toe. I think a yellow outfit and shoes and a bag is overkill. Make like Rihanna and don a bold, structured yellow top or an A-line skirt or even just accessories.
