Two for one, cabana stripes and butter yellow

Butter yellow has swept the scene, replacing beige as the go to summer neutral. Minimalistic, warm and calming, butter yellow pairs beautifully with so many options from crisp white to chocolate brown to baby blue. How are you feeling about butter yellow this summer?

    I think it doesn’t work well for people with pale skin, so I’ll be giving it a miss … it looks really pretty on people with darker complexions!

      Yeah, my foundation colour is ‘sickly victorian child with cholera’ or ‘ghost with consumption’ and tanning is all but impossible. That pale yellow is an absolute no-go. Its bad enough that a few weeks back after I asked my mother for her opinion on a dress I was planning on wearing to an event she literally just sent me a link to gradual tanning lotion to put on my fluorescent white and blue legs… at least might help reduce the effect of them looking like freshly plucked poultry…

        It’s a good thing your descriptons are extremely hilarious. So at least I could laugh after the “freshly plucked poultry” legs hit way too close home. Though mine are not white and blue but… well, pale yellow.

        Do beauty salons still do pro spray tans? Some of those used to be good for special occasions, if you’re struggling not to feel self conscious

          Honestly I’m fine with it lol, I mostly just find the funny side of it. I am tempted to give a very light gradual tan a go however.

      Was gonna say about the same thing. Such a gorgeous color with melanated skin. I’m nowhere near pale, but sadly still can’t really make this color work for me

        If you tan better than me, then yes, absolutely!

        I’ve been working in tropical zones for 6 months, and am still more pale than my wife who goes out to sunbathe for half an hour a day :-/

    I feel the same way about this as I do white.

    Cute, good for them, looks nice. Jelly of your expanded options.

    It would make me look horrible, however, so hard pass. I’ve got a complexion that goes well with vivid saturated colors; pale olive-base skin and very very dark hair. If I could catch a tan I’d look middle eastern. But then those light colors would actually work so it is what it is.

    I think I get tan enough that I could probably pull it off, but yellow really isn’t a color I like to wear.
