A very Happy Christmas to all of you celebrating today, and a joyous and wonderful day for everyone else! Let’s all remember what’s most important, and remember to share love, patience, and endless care to everyone around us. We are strong; we can do this!
Another accent color that seems made for brown! The bag with the brown straps proves that these colors appeal to at least one designer, eh?
This is what I think of as true yellow, and I really love the way it looks with grey. It doesn’t overpower it, which surprised me when I started. Lots of things have surprised me, this last few days!
This is a slightly softer lemon, which I liked with the beige/taupe. If those sandals appeal, they’re available in at least a dozen colors! And the Mateo Brown bracelet comes in yellow gold and rose gold, as well as the silver, and with a BUNCH of different stone tips. (yes, I am a shopping enabler sometimes…)
I knew I would have to address acid yellow, and I thought navy would stand up to it best. This isn’t for just every woman, but if you dare it, you might be surprised at how much fun it will be. (ahem…. the ballet flats are available in SEVENTEEN colors…. I’m just sayin;…)
And this softer than butter yellow looks lovely with camel. Again, it was the beautiful ring that drew me into this entire color! Sometimes one piece – either a gift or a special purchase – can lead you into an “Accessory Family” you never expected. Some
of these ideas might be very useful if one receives a cherished holiday
gift that isn’t in a “perfect” color, but which will NEVER under ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES be returned. Better incorporate a new yellow bracelet or ring into one’s wardrobe than hurt the feelings of a cherished loved one…
I think that tomorrow, the color in question will be pink – everything from pale to bright! 
The more I work with “unflattering” colors, the more I find that there are some really lovely items available in the world that might, at first glance, seem difficult to wear. But I think if we keep these kinds of colors away from our faces, there’s no reason in the world to avoid them, if they really speak to your heart.
Yellow and black can be REALLY difficult to wear – threats of the nickname “Bumblebee” are always present. But I think this shade is closer to orange in a way that makes that threat less likely. And items like the cool bag, which combine the two colors in a way that’s distinctly non-insect, help pull things together.

This has been a fun series of posts. They have definitely given me some ideas to try in the future. I don't think I will be incorporating yellow though. As much as I like it on other people, the color intimidates me.
I love the yellow and gray together! Looking forward to your pink post.

I just realized that one could also reverse these. i love pale camel but can't wear it, while I can wear pale yellow. A soft yellow dress with pale camel accessories would be lovely. Thanks, as always, for the ideas — and for being here even on Xmas!
Oh, wow. That last combo — pale butter with camel — convinces me that even I could wear yellow. This has been a great series. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Janice, great to see ideas for different tones of these colours- some inspiring ideas in this serieis
Thanks for the reinforcement, Janice! I have an acid yellow necklace (so yes, it is close to my face), and also a pair of shoes. I often wear them with black, or grey, and I love the hit of colour. They are definitely enough, though, I don't think I'll be adding to the collection!
YOU are a flippin' GENIUS. Thank you so so very much for this series!
I am an Asian by origin, and I don’t have extremely fair skin, so yellow suits me perfectly. I am a huge admirer of yellow dresses, and I love wearing them on several occasions.
