To which I immediately replied "it looks like an impulse buy to me that would end up forgotten and un-worn in the back of the closet."
"No," insisted the voice, "I promise you would wear it."
"Voice," I continued, "I know me. I have avoided yellow all my life for the washed-out, unflattering look it lends to my blonde hair and fair skin."
"Even so" the voice coerced, "it would look great on you." I held firm, but fortunately the voice had other methods and to my surprise I found the belt in my stocking on Christmas morning. Insane as it may sound, I LOVE IT. I never knew what I was missing by resigning myself to blues and pinks and greens all my life, which, I am happy to say, can now fulfill their potential when paired with the yellow.
Don't be alarmed; I still don't wear yellow pants or shirts etc. (I haven't gone THAT crazy) but I have found a happy medium of yellow accessories and I urge anyone reading this to take stock of the things you've been denying yourself just because you are used to it not working out. Now the yellow and I enjoy a symbiotic relationship that all started with the sparkely belt.

You've inspired me. Maybe one day I can wear that color that I have been denying my whole life... that color that has sniggered and mocked me from shelves as its popularity has done nothing but grown. Of course I'm talking about... the pink.
i am in love with those yellow flats. they are SO cute!!! and i'm also crazy about the yellow wallet. i love jcrew wallets.
Do you do personal consultations? I need to branch out from colors that usually adorn firearms. I have been considering navy blue. Also, are you busy Friday?
