Shades

When it comes to fashion, not all shades of the same color can be flattering with your skin tone. Yellow is a hard color for me. I'm Italian, so I have strong yellow undertones that can make wearing warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) difficult.

I fell in love with this feminine Rebecca Taylor dress, which is dominantly yellow, and just had to have it. Fortunately, it's in a buttery, pastel yellow that doesn't make me look too washed out or sickly.

Outfit Details

Dress: Rebecca Taylor Lemon Rose Summer Dress

Find the dress at RueLaLa.com, though there are only select sizes available. Definitely size down if you buy this dress. I had to buy a size four, even though a zero or two would have been preferable, since those other sizes were sold out. (The dress is big on me.) Rebecca Taylor sizing has changed over the last few years. It's great for my self-esteem, but can make online buying a bit more challenging.

Shoes: Christian Louboutin Pink Peep-Toe Pumps

It's really the perfect summer dress!
