Color Bomb: Dipped in Yellow

The sun is out! So bring out the bright bold colors! One of the ways to get your summer wardrobe ready is with a piece of bright yellow clothing. It is not by any means the most popular color when it comes to fashion and your go to when shopping. However, Justabrooklyngyrl will help bring back the love of yellow! Before you say while reading this “it’s too bright!,it’s so not my color” “it makes me look bigger than my actual size.” Im here to tell you, you can do it even if it’s in moderations and the long myth of it being a difficult pigment to pull off is far gone. Start from a yellow accessory to a yellow pump, if your just not ready to take the full leap into that yellow ensemble!

Heres a cool styling trick I learned because like so many women like myself i live for a black on black denim on denim look and let my accessories do the talking! The trick is simple! You ready? Pick one hue of yellow from your nails to that clutch and work your way up to a shirt or pants!

The easy way to pick the right shade for your complexion is pick the one hue and keep it away from your face example; yellow jeans, handbags or shoe Like Khloe Kardashian and Laura Govan
