I know this girl who wears one color straight for a month. I mean, her whole wardrobe from head to toe will be that color. Like say in the month of October, she chooses to wear yellow. EVERYTHING FOR THIRTY-ONE DAYS WILL BE SOME SHADE OF YELLOW. I’m talking, shoes, nails, tops, bottoms, dresses, everything.
It may sound weird, but it was actually kind of cute. Like I remember one outfit she wore during the summer months (white was the theme) she would accent her look with cute little accessories that would make her “canvas” pop. Not to mention that it sped up the time it took for her to get ready in the morning, but it was so unique and refreshing. See, here in NYC, trends are more like epidemics. Once it catches on, it tends to get over done to the point of nausea, and since she did style her own way, it really made her stand out.
I really admired her for that, because it’s like if you don’t follow the fashion rules you’re a leper. We’ve all heard the mantras: Skinny jeans are in! Skinny jeans are out! Purple is the new black! Black is the new black! Give me a break!

That’s what Associated Press’s Samantha Critchell is saying on Yahoo! Buzz. According to the article, Pantone Color Institute’s executive director, Leatrice Eiseman states that yellow is “the color of the future” because it reminds us of “warmth, sunshine and cheer — all the good things we’re in dire need of right now.” I kinda have to agree. Yellow does make me happy, that is, if it’s the right shade. Pale yellow tends to make me think of pee….lol but that’s just because I’m a bit unhinged……
