I am loving yellow right now. From home decor to clothing, yellow is definitely having its day in the sun (pun intended).

I look better in cool colors and can't wear marigold or mustard, but there are "cool" yellows - like sherbet lemon yellows. They just need to be "icy" yellows.

Not all warm-toned gals have it easy... I'm pale and warm (and slightly green/olive), and there isn't a yellow that agrees with me. Yellows make me look more yellow and very sickly. I love the color of that sweater though.

I think yellow is a difficult color to wear because you really have to have the right complexion. We ladies with cool complexions can't wear it next to our faces IMO. I do like that butter color on the purse however! I'm thinking a yellow patent belt would be hot.
