Mellow Yellow
Though my two sisters are 5 and 6 years older than I am, my mom used to sometimes dress us alike when we were kids. When we weren’t wearing identical pinstripe burgundy velvet overalls–dude, it was the ’70s–we wore long calico hippie dresses that did allow for some individuality: My oldest sister got it in red, my middle sister wore it in blue, and mine was yellow. Yellow was my favorite color when I was a kid, and though I shunned it when I reached high school (the sunny hue just didn’t go with my Goth lite all-black look and attitude), I’ve embraced it again… in moderation.
But then came Michelle Williams’s Oscar dress last year, and Naomi Watts’s dress this year… and this spring, suddenly… helloooo, yellow!
Don’t worry, I’m not going to go crazy and go all yellow this season. But you might as well start at the bottom, and to me these Christian Louboutin gold satin slingback espadrilles are the perfect foundation for spring!
