It's such a happy color that I'm enjoying all the posts!

I only have one solid yellow top (mustard yellow) but there is quite a bit of yellow incorporated into the patterns in my wardrobe. In fact, as I type this, I’m wearing a yellow plaid wrap to take the chill off!

I really like yellows if they aren’t too gold or too pale. I really like the T-shirt below that I ordered in the wrong size during Triple Points. Hope to order again if it’s marked down.

I love.  It has to be clear, and not veering in to chartreuse. One of my first purchases was a purse, and I recommend that as a way to start... it goes with so much.  I get compliments every single time I wear my citron coat and sneakers (not together, just every time I wear them).  I've also got a couple of tops.  The linen tee was probably my most worn tee last summer, much to my surprise.

The bag Is bySamantha Thavasa. A Japanese brand. I know they also sell internationally, as I have bought their bags in Singapore, but alas they don’t ship to Australia. I have a trip to Japan planned and thought I would buy a bag on that trip. It was a choice between bright pink and yellow. This style with the bamboo handle appealed to me. Yellow is a colour that when it works is incredibly beautiful. But the wrong shade makes you look sick. It is interesting to see how polarisingyellow is! Colette on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907387 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 14:56:38 +0000 Colette 1907387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yellow is not for me but I admire others who wear it. I've tried just a few yellow items over the years but it's not one of my preferred colors. I do love that yellow bag you are considering, do you have the find or link? I had a work bag that is almost the exact duplicate in black, that I LOVED and wore it until it had holes in it. I wouldn't mind adding a similar style back to my collection. anne on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907366 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 13:42:55 +0000 anne 1907366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not at all, as I tend to think it wouldn't go well with my olive/sallow complexion. But maybe the right clear shade would be alright. Chris987 on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907311 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 11:23:02 +0000 Chris987 1907311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm definitely on team yellow, preferring warmer tones like what Sal described, butter yellow, golden yellow, not too lemony. Warm yellows look really good on me and I get lots of compliments when I wear them, plus I wear a lot of denim and other blues so it's a natural for me. I don't have much right now but want to add more. I do have to be careful about not going too far into the land of mustard yellow.   I currently own one solid yellow sweater (actually the color is a bit too orangey to be called true yellow)  plus a top and a scarf with yellow in the prints. (first 3 finds) I almost brought home the yellow CK bag shown because I LOVE the color although I didn't quite like the design, and I'm on the hunt for other items, maybe a top like the target and Loft tops shown. Bijou  I'm going to vote for you to get the bag in yellow, of course What brand is it? Can't quite read the logo on it... Gigi on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907273 Thu, 12 Apr 2018 06:12:19 +0000 Gigi 1907273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute bag! I am also attracted to the yellow bag...it's a gorgeous shade of yellow. I would probably buy the yellow bag or the red one. I am very attracted to yellow at the moment, but yellow in general doesn't look good with my natural coloring, so I have very little of it in my wardrobe. I have only two pieces--a cardigan and a tank top, neither of which I wear much. I assuaged my current longing for yellow by getting yellow nail polish . I would love a pair of yellow shoes, though, or a yellow purse.

With your bag choice I would take bright pink (3).

That said I do own and wear yellow shorts, yellow cropped pants, and print tops and scarves that have some yellow. I used to have a summer tweed yellow jacket that I loved and wore a lot, until it did not fit any more.

The closest I have is a pair of mustard sandals I purchased impulsively a couple of summers ago. I enjoy wearing them with cropped blue denim in the summer.

It's a great spring/summer color.

And it looks gorgeous in yellow. As Angie says, it would look perfect with your Versace dress. I wear yellow. I have got a bright cool yellow jacket, a short armed sweater in the same yellow colour and a number of scarves. I haven’t got any yellow bag though - this one would be perfect. kerry on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907182 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 22:55:12 +0000 kerry 1907182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love yellow but it doesn’t love me. I especially like the idea of it in spring with a nautical feel combined with navy and white. Last couple of years I’ve thought about adding yellow jeans but they’d have such a short wearing season (maybe mid March to mid June). I do have a yellow bag though and a scarf in a yellow and grey print.

Historically, yellow has made my skin look sad, so I have not worn it next to my face. I currently have a pair of yellow denim shorts (super cute with a summer tan) and a buttery yellow leather tote bag I will pull out after April break. Oddly enough, I wore a yellow blouse today. I think I liked it! I am not sure, because I think I am still haunted by the years when yellow was not a color I could wear. Kate on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907135 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 20:33:52 +0000 Kate 1907135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I quite like yellow, especially in my garden, where I specialize in yellow leafed and yellow variegated shrubs and perennials. Designing with foliage is my thing. Not so much yellow in my wardrobe though, since it is not very flattering to my complexion. Mustards look the best, then a pear color. Where I tend to play with yellow is in accessories: scarves & bags. And in fact, just last week, I bought a lemon yellow cross body bag, and am as happy with it as a dog with two tails. The bag is The Sak's Ladera. Now that I think about it, I also bought a beautiful pear-colored (a greenish-yellow, but not chartreuse)  turtleneck sweater this past winter too.

I have a sweater that is chartreuse.  LaPed on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907087 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:47:19 +0000 LaPed 1907087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was going to say no, but I'm wearing a golden yellow hat in my avatar photo. The yarn for the hat was dyed with onion skins, so it's a mellow, earthy goldenrod shade. I tend to opt for darker, more muted yellows with a good dose of brown and/or green in them. I had a mustard tee with turquoise stripes that I wore to death, and also a pair of oxfords that looked either mustard-yellow or pea-green, depending on the light.  I've seen some pieces recently in a very saturated but still earthy "curry" colour that I really like: yellow veering toward reddish-brown. I could see wearing a bit of that as an accent to a black/white or navy/white outfit.  Barbara Diane on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907067 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:19:08 +0000 Barbara Diane 1907067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have had one yellow item in my adult life. Even then I realized it was an outlier. A pale yellow and flowing blouse I wore with flowy black pants with some sheen. I loved that outfit. Yellow looked better on me then. And the contrast was fabulous. Reviewing Angie’s yellow items my thought was the only one I might wear would be the boldly colored scarf. And literally my next thought was it would be perfect if only it didn’t have the yellow. Horses for courses, as Angie says. Note, I’m saying for me. Love yellow on others. rachylou on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907060 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 18:00:53 +0000 rachylou 1907060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am incredibly attracted to yellow. Big Bird yellow. I’m not sure if it’s flattering or not, but this doesn’t matter. Because what I’ve found is I don’t like being IN yellow. I also don’t like yellow walls (I NEED to paint my sitting room). I find it too stimulating. But I just love Looking at it, tho, especially yellow clothes. It’s very odd.

I do like yellow but am picky about the shades - I like butter yellow, mustard and golden yellow - no green tones and not too lemon. I love the yellow bag and have been contemplating a mustard shade one.   Ledonna N. on "Do you like or wear yellow?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-or-wear-yellow/page/2#post-1907046 Wed, 11 Apr 2018 17:29:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1907046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Like pink i only have one piece currently.

Even if I wore color more, it’s generally a bad match with my skin. My first drivers license and my college ID both showed me in a pale yellow top and I really regretted those choices! I do love neon lime green / citron as an accent color, but I tend towards the more green rather than the more yellow side. In Angie’s post today, the yellow-green J Crew peacoat appealed to me much more than the others.

I can't wear yellow. Love to see it on others, especially after a long winter. I have one golden yellow clutch; like it as accent, but don't reach for it very often. I would consider a bright yellow bag, because as Suz says, it plays well with blue.
