TRENDING: Sunshine Yellow!


Trending for Spring: Sunshine Yellow (photo source)
One of the "IT" colors for Spring of 2012 seems to be yellow. Not a mellow yellow, mind you, but acid bright-bright as day-yellow. Canary not contrary, this slice of sunshine may be easier to wear than you think.
Observe: 

Daydream on this daffodil hued dress from the Creatures of the Wind Spring Collection.
Ok, you might be asking a few questions, well no worries! I've got some answers.



Like, who is wearing it?
Rocking the Yellow: Sarah of Misfits Vintage
Well for starters, the gorgeous Sarah of Misfits Vintage. As a scarf. With her polka dots.
Seattle blogger T.S. get her vitamin D from her colored jeans. She even inspired fellow blogger Mik to do the same. Street Style photog/superstar Lee Oliveria captures the bright buzz of a gorgeous yellow jacket,  outside Jean-Pierre Braganza during London Fashion Week.  And the Fashionista Next Door rocks her yellow in a pair of sizzling pumps.




How do you wear it? 
Top it Off: Charming hand-made felt hat by Yellowfield? on Etsy
Easy.
Sunny side up!


Where do you get it? 


How about online?  I'd be walking on sunshine IF I had this pair of solar powered sandals!
You can get 'em at Oasap.
How about this adorbs screaming yellow vintage pantsuit from Misfits Vintage on Etsy?
Or this '60s mod yellow space age frock found at Market Publique from White City Vintage?

No Yolk: Market Publique is stocked with this trending color.

In Summary:
Spring is heating up, and you've got this bright summery hue to look to, so say hello to yellow!

I would love to get away with a yellow dress but the colour totally washes me out. I think I will have to experiment with accessories in stead.

Yowza! I keep seeing bright yellow with a black & white patterned skirt. I want to try a combo like that. Love those solar-powered sandals.

I have been like a bee to honey for yellow in the past month. I have been picking up the most amazing vintage yellow pieces, picking yellow flowers and now planting yellow flowers! xo

Oh yeah, I do plan on working this color into my wardrobe this summer!

The Style Crone said...

Fabulous display of yellow! I especially like the yellow hat and checked out the Etsy site. I have some of this yellow in my closet - time to check it out!

Sasha Maria said...

I know people who are crazy about yellow and I've been told that it suits my complexion...but I'm just not that into such boldness in hue. The small accents (scarves, heels, etc.) are cute though and less of a scary jump!

WendyB said...

Psyched to wear my old neon yellow shoes another year!

Unknown said...

I 'edited' someone else quote ;) it sounded kinda bad and that's not my intention .....
you know me ;)
I think you are the most inspiring, talented, tenacious woman i've had the joy to find out there!!!

As lemon sherberts and lemon bonbons are my favorite sweets, I also have a soft spot for those shades in clothes. It's definitely a feel-good colour, as demonstrated perfectly by the dominant spring flowers here right now: daffodils, dandelions, celandines and primroses. I think my best recollection of well-loved yellow though was my yellow wellies from when I was around age 3. It's the first time I remember adoring the colour of something I wore.

Unknown said...

I love your new banner and tagline is spectacular! Yellow is one of the few colours that does not suit me at all, but I do love to see it on others. It is the colour of the sun!

Anupriya DG said...

Aaah! Looks like Yellow's going to be the new Black! :)

Curtise said...

I'm a lot braver about colours now and love a bit of bright yellow. It's Sarah Misfit's influence! Love all the pics. xx

Jean at www.drossintogold.com said...

For me, a tough color. For you in Seattle? Perhaps essential!

Love, Jean

I love yellow, Im all about it. I have a really nice coat my mom bought me at urbanoutfitters.com for christmas one year. Unfortunately I didnt get to wear it much this past winter cause it was so warm.

Lindsay Rickman said...
