Yellow is one of those colours that, if not used according to the instructions, can make you look rather queasy. BUT worn the right way, yellow can be a delight!
I’m seeing quite a few of these deeper yellow colours come through for Autumn/winter, and can I tell you, I’m LOVING it!
So when I was flipping through the new EziBuy catalogue (I LOVE getting that thing in the mail, don’t you?!) and saw that they are going crazy for a deeper, citrus yellow, I had to have it – a few days later, this gorgeous dress appeared on my doorstep…..
SHOP THE LOOK: Grace Hill Shirt Dress from EziBuy $159.99 | Rochas booties from Shopbop.com. Buy similar here
I love the detail in the back – it pulls the waist in just a teeny bit. But you could also belt it (like in the middle inspo pic above).
I’ve paired it back with black details and a red lip to make it seem bolder for a nighttime event or do (totally channeling Michelle Williams and THAT dress she wore to the Oscars. Still best dressed ever in my book). The black accessories give it an edge – a dark nail would look amazing against this colour too!
I also love that you can pair this dress down with trainers and a hat. The forgiving fit of this dress makes it easy to wear during the day (as well as frocked up at night).
I’ll be rocking this dress today for a personal styling client shopping trip and then a lunch meeting after that. Wedges might be the shoe of the day though – somewhere in-between the heel and the trainer.
And to get you into the Yellow Zone, here are a couple of other pieces that can either make the outfit, or just add a smidge of yellow (if you don’t feel like going all Big Bird on us).
SHOP THE LOOKS: 1. New Balance trainers from Asos.com $146 | 2. Blue Bungalow waist tie belt $24 | 3. Gorman chevron cardi $149 | 4. Blue Bungalow stud earrings $29 | 5. Asos high waisted pants in mustard $46.
Colours can be tricky but I really believe there is a yellow out there for every skin tone, it’s just a matter of finding the right one.

I have a yellow skirt I need to get it fixed I would normally wear with a black singlet or Te shirt tucked in. I’m just wondering what other colours I could pair it with so I don’t get the bumblebee look as I find the black can look to harsh with it depending on the occasion.
If black is too strong for you, try a navy top – it’s a little softer and will compliment your skin and hair a little better 🙂 Also grey can look really nice with yellow too (although it depends on the yellow) x
