Whilst I'm no stranger to wearing bold prints like florals and leopard print, I must admit that I tend to be a bit shy when it comes to bright colours.
We've all seen those colour analysis videos on Instagram that leave you wondering what colour suits me, and I think I worry that with blonde hair, yellow might feel a bit too matchy. But with butter yellow all around at the moment, I leaned in this week and tried on a yellow dress for an event I've got coming up. I immediately loved it, and seeing Eva Longoria looking utterly glorious in New York wearing a similar shade has me convinced once and for all.
Say yes to the yellow dress
Eva's exact dress is a pricey piece, but it looks expensive thanks to its razor sharp construction. Yellow is a huge trend this year, but with its minimalist design, this is going to last you years - if not decades.
This has got to be a contender for best wedding guest dress. It boasts a really pretty open back and bow detailing, and is quickly selling out so don't delay.
If it's the wrap shape of Eva's style you love then this midi will do the trick perfectly. It's going to work well with pointed pumps, but you could easily dress it down with your best white trainers too.
woman&home's Fashion Channel Editor Rivkie Baum shares my view, telling me: "Sunshine yellow is certainly not a colour I've currently got on my summer rotation, but seeing Eva Longoria looking so glorious has got me rethinking.
"I love the hit of dopamine dressing this dress delivers; it certainly ushers in that summer feeling."
If, however, a dress feels a bit too full-on for you, how about incorporating a colour pop top into your jeans and a nice top outfits? Or even simply adding a pair of head-turning yellow earrings?
Sunshine shades work well with dark or light blue denim and you'll still get that boost in your mood - and confidence!
Shop more zesty yellow pieces
I much prefer a round neckline than a v-neck on a waistcoat, and this linen-blend option will help you keep your cool in the summer months. So chic!
Lightweight knits are the way forward when the weather can't quite make up its mind, and this Zara top will brighten up any chilly evening. Pair it simply with jeans in whatever cut you like best and a pair of tan sandals.
If you're yet to try any of Rixo's designs, these earrings are a great place to start. Trust me when I say there's a reason it's one of the best British clothing brands.
