What To Wear With Yellow?

I'm the type who picks out clothes first, then makeup. I've always loved yellow tops and dresses but being olive/yellow toned it's hard for me to find a brighter yellow that works for me. Most make me look sallow or just odd. When I have a tan, then it's easy to find things that work - so you tanned golden girls, I envy you!

I have one lone piece of yellow in my closet, the Oscillating Folds Blouse by Sine from Anthropologie which I actually find extremely versatile. I've featured this this same blouse in a blog post here before but put together four more looks with the same blouse. It works well for casual looks and more dressier occasions if you pair it with a pencil skirt or blazer.

The first look on the left (yellow top + white skirt + tan sandals) is the one I actually wore yesterday, here are the details of the outfit + makeup + swatches.

If you have yellow in your closet, I'd love to hear what makeup you coordinate with the color! Or what clothing brands you look to find good yellows!
