Yellow is a really popular color this season, much to my chagrin. I've never really been satisfied with the way yellow looks on me. I think my skin undertones has too much yellow in it already so it's always been a challenge to find a yellow that doesn't wash me out. I bought this dress years ago when I was a junior in college studying abroad in Madrid, Spain. I didn't really take the specific shade of yellow into consideration when buying it and I had been going back and forth on trying to determine if I even liked the color on me or if I'm just keeping the dress around because I like the retro vibe of it. For now, I won't put it in the donate pile but I do have a few tips on looking for the right shade of yellow for your skin tone: 

• If you're fair skinned with cool undertones, try for a mustard or dark yellow shade to create a contrast against your skin. 
• If you're olive/medium skinned with warm undertones, try for bright yellows and primary color yellows to make the hue stand out.
• If you're dark skinned with deep undertones, you're in luck - most any shade of yellow will work for you! Go for a pastel yellow or even a neon yellow if you're feeling bold!
