Info Post
There are several colors that I never wear. It isn't for a particular reason rather I instinctively find myself drawn to specific hues and thus avoiding others. I like most colors yet some need time to grow on me.

One such example is yellow. For a long time I didn't like yellow, but recently I find myself drawn to it. There is something so appealing about its brightness, its organic optimism and radiance. Certainly it isn't a shade for everyone: yellow asks for a lot of attention and it can be tricky to style. But I feel that it's worthwhile to experiment with the unfamiliar. In this case, it's a new color to wear.

I tried on a sunshine yellow Tibi skort yesterday - to my avail it wasn't flattering on my shape - and it made me think about the colors devoid from my wardrobe. Now that I've attained closet harmony with a massive cleansing, I'm ready for more. Yellow is a color that will be going on my list.

Skin tone is extremely important when considering yellow garments and accessories. Very dark skin has the advantage with this hue: every shade of yellow looks stunning. For lighter skin tones, try a deeper yellow so as to not be washed out. (Canary yellow is a flattering pick.)

Yellow can be intimidating - I think it is! - but one can start small or go for maximum brightness. Take a look at my suggestions.
