The Devil Wears Yellow...

2008-04-05T11:22:00.000-07:00

Last week was bright and sunny across the nation ( ignoring the super brief hailstorm incident this morning)...So it looks like spring is finally round the corner and we can start bringing out the bright colours from the back of our drawers. Yellow has always been a slightly tricky colour to wear, especially on pale skins...Here's a neat alternative, try wearing topaz/amber jewellery. The warmer tones softens your skin and looks fabulous.
