Not-So-Mellow Yellow for Spring 2013

Taylor Tomasi-Hill, Marie Claire Magazine

Spring’s other Citrus that is literally popping up on the fashion scene as we speak is a color that has always said Easter to me. That color is Yellow, known this season by its Pantone ID of Lemon Zest. The runways were full of this bold hue, which I personally love primarily as a pop color that works off of the season’s biggest neutrals…..navy and grey.

Styling Tip: for me, again, a big wearer of black or white or for this season, black & white….any combination of this would be stunning with just a simple yellow shoe, a yellow bag (not matching, too much!) or maybe even just a touch of yellow at the ear.  A yellow accessory is also a great outfit completer if worn with bold black/white stripes, colorful prints and/or navy dot or star prints.

However, this is Houston, Texas and our women love color. I’ve already seen some of our town’s most beautiful wearing a head-to-toe yellow day dress or evening gown and looking so new, fresh and alive!

The following are some of our favorite ways to wear this vibrant, happy color for Spring. Think lemon drops, sunshine and baby chicks at Easter time and see if this color doesn’t put a smile on your face!
