If you're unconformable with that, consider a green bag to match. You can wear green shoes with a yellow handbag. If you’re unconformable with that, consider a green bag to match.

Love color and need to know what would look terrible with it since, I can get carried away. I live in the hot humid south... so, I do not wear much black in the summer. I am 54. I need clothes that work for running errands and seeing friends for a casual lunch. I am ususally in khakis or jeans.I would not really use a yellow purse with green shoes but, I have a gorgeous green casual shoe and a peep toe sandle. What color purse? For the summer I would like to wear a blue bracelet with stones and the yellow purse ...is this too busy a look? I also, wear as much aqua/turquoise as I can find since, it is flattering. Love color- just do not want to look like a clown. Thank you I have a new soft yellow purse for day. Love color and need to know what would look terrible with it since, I can get carried away.

Today at the store I was surprised to find out that some yellow actually flattered my skin very well. I ended up picking up a yellow athletic-inspired anoraks (the style looks like the sliver one posted in "Spring’s active anorak") and a yellow simple t-shirt. I'm loving the look!

It's amazing what a fresh pop of color can do. It's going to be the perfect accessory for my short black & white polka dot dress with dark bootcuts. :) I was so inspired by that great yellow clutch that I went and bought myself a yellow sling purse!

And Angie, as you know, Seattle does not help with the tan. Help - is there any way I can wear yellow in a top anywhere near my face?

You really think I'd look good in bright yellow? Super! I guess I'll have to try it out. I used to have a pair of yellow shoes; I wonder if those are still around somewhere. I absolutely love the first outfit you posted a picture of, unfortuantely, I can't go out and spend $231 for a skirt, cardi, and shoes. I wish I could though.

Try those yellow khaki’s on and see how feel in them. I do not see your lovely curvy bottom as a challenge. I like them matched with navy and white. It keeps it fresh that way. Always with white. I too love BR’s Spring line Christie. J Crew is looking rather good too. So far so good for Spring 2008! I’m thrilled that you gave yellow a bash Dancing Star!
