Colour Story: We don’t call it ‘Mellow Yellow’

Yellow is one of my favourite colours of all time.

I used to hate it.

Then I realized I was wearing the wrong shades and tones of it.

I look best in the deep yellows such as canary and dandelion.

I definitely look awful in pastel yellows or neon yellows.

And the easiest way to wear yellow if you’re scared, is in your accessories.

Yellow with grey like in the picture below, really makes a jacket pop.

Looks a bit like a parachute, but if she had belted it with a skinny or dark brown corset leather belt, it would have worked out.
