Spring is an excellent time to revamp everything – from cleaning your house, making plans for the summer and re-organizing your closet. I truly enjoy fashion – clothing, shoes, makeup, accessories. So every week I will post a fashion tip – what’s hot for the upcoming season. Here’s the first one:

This spring and summer is all about colors – bold colors – and it appears that all colors are really in this season. But the topic of discussion this week is yellow. Yellow is becoming my favorite this season and what is so great about it is there are so many different shades of yellow – that everyone, no matter what skin tone can get into it. The key with pulling off yellow is to make it an accent color in your wardrobe – too much yellow will have you loking like a banana!

For example: Pairing a yellow shirt with a pair of dark-washed jeans is a classic yet trendy look.

Another way to incorporate this trend is by adding yellow accessories to your outfit. Note: accessories can transform any old outfit into the current trend. By just adding a yellow bracelet or a yellow handbag will turn your boring, everyday outfit into something fresh, young and vibrant. So instead of spending a lot money trying to update your wardrobe, adding accessories will take your outfit from blah to FIERCE!

Or you can rock some yellow platform heels.

Note: I wouldn’t wear yellow shoes with a yellow shirt – too matchy – matchy. You will be looking like a banana in no time! The tip to rocking yellow shoes is to allow the shoe to be the focal point of the outfit by pairing the shoes with a neutral and simple shape outfit. For instance, a white shirt w/ a black pencil skirt with yellow shoes will add that nice pop of color. It will turn such a classic look into something young, fun and trendy.
