Dress- similar Here (mine is sold out online but available in stores)//Shoes- Here// Handbag – similar Here// Watch- Here// Bangles – Cable Bracelet, Alex & Ani
Hey guys! I am currently sitting at the airport waiting to board my flight to Oklahoma ( I’m originally from Tulsa, OK). So, I figured I would share with you one of my outfits that I absolutely love. This dress actually came to me by accident but i’m so glad it did. Wearing bright colors can be a bit tricky, but if you have the right accessories it can make a world of difference.
A few weeks ago I was doing some online shopping at Old Navy, and I came across this dress but in a different color. It was right up my alley since I like wearing more neutral colors. When my package came I received this mustard yellow color as opposed to the navy. At first, I had put it away to return and then I thought I’ll just try it on. This color is so bold that it can be a bit intimidating. I’ve seen it in stores and never thought twice about even looking at it. Trust me, it looks a million times better when you try it on. A few tips that I recommend when wearing brighter colors are doing a natural makeup look, avoiding any additional brighter colors (with handbags or shoes), and incorporating neutral accessories. I paired this dress with some cognac color wedges and a beige handbag. I wanted the focus to be on the dress without it looking too busy. I’m happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I already placed another online order with a few brighter color tops-this could be dangerous because I’m finding a lot more stuff that I like, lol. My favorite colors for spring so far have been coral, mustard yellow, and mint (not all together, haha). What are some of your favorite colors that you like wearing?
Well, my flight is about to take off so I’m going into airplane mode. I hope you all have a great weekend!

love that color dress on you – i love wearing bright colors – especially turquoise in the summer
Christina says
I love brights but lack the confidence to wear them because of my pasty white skin tone. Any recommendations to help me pull off a similar look?
mysouthernstyle says
I think colors like coral and turquoise would look great on lighter skin. I think its important to find colors that compliment your skin tone. Mustard yellow tends to look better on tanner skin IMO.

Fabulous look! Great color!!
melissa misenheimer says
Good choice to just go for it because ya did good! The color looks amazing on you. My personal favorite colors to wear that are bright is red, yellow or cobalt blue. Cerulean looks good on me too. Those are pretty much the only bright colors I have tried. I tend to stick to more neautral colored clothes because I do love crazy colored makeup. But being a new business woman I love to switch to less neutral clothes and more neutral makeup for business.
mysouthernstyle says
Thank you! I also like wearing red especially when its around the holidays. I need to step up my makeup game and try more colors. Maybe i’ll get some motivation after reading your comment 🙂 .

That color looks so good on you! I once bought a top that color and tried it on and was so taken aback at how terrible it looked on me. Your skin tone is perfect for that shade though and looks lovely!

That bright yellow looks SO good on you. I really wish yellow looked better on me, it’s such a pretty color, but it just doesn’t tend to go with my skin tone well.
