Yellow: Not Just for Spring Chickens

Posted on 08.18.08 to $150 and under by Lindsay

Typically, when we think of the color yellow, we don’t think of falling leaves, chilly weather, with boots and overcoats. However, the times, they are a-changin’. Yellow has officially been inducted into the “absolutely fabulous for fall/winter” catagory.

As fashion becomes more fearless, colors like fresh, spring yellow make their way across the borders of seasons, beyond conventional shapes and shades, creating new styles – keeping this crazy fashion world fresh and new, just like the color itself.

I will say, personally, I love the idea of interjecting something so delicate as the palest, lightest yellow shade into a heavy world of wool coats and tights – the juxtaposition is exciting.
