Can you guess what one of the most popular colors for fall is? Yellow! I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t excited at all to learn this. First of all, yellow is such a hard color to pull off and secondly, I don’t own anything yellow. Well, that’s a lie. I own one yellow Baylor tee from a game years ago where everyone wore yellow.

But then I saw this dress…isn’t it so cute? I loved the cut and the color and couldn’t help myself. This dress would be perfect for a wedding, it works perfectly as workwear, and it is great for date night, too! So, I ordered it and gave it a shot!

But, before I clicked “purchase,” I did a little research on which shade of yellow would work best with my skin. It was actually super helpful information, so I figured I’d share it with you here, too!
