Yellow Two Piece with Forever21

I love the way yellow has flooded into everyone’s summer ensemble this year. It screams happiness, really captures your attention and draws your eye in. And for good reason. Yellow is the brightest color of the visible spectrum, and it is the most noticeable of all colors by the human eye. We can’t help but stare at it. And lucky for us, this is one sun you can stare directly at.

I’m a sucker for outfits already put together for me, be it jumpsuits, dresses, or two piece sets. And like I said I’m loving the yellows this year so needless to say I jumped on this yellow two piece linen ray of sunshine the day I saw it at Forever21. I know what you’re thinking, that’s a S* ton of one color. But I never understood why people are afraid to go all one color. The last few years everyone was so stuck on just a small pop of color for their outfits; more than a red bag or blue shoes was simply overload. I get it, you’re afraid of getting called a banana or cucumber or raspberry. But I say skip the “rule” of breaking up color and be a hot ass banana.

I also love that in the last couple years we’ve quickly transitioned from shoulder cut outs (super odd looking if you ask me) to big puffy 80’s sleeves. This is sure to be short lived as well so jump on this funky train while you can! (I was feeling like Princess Diana on her wedding day in this top.)

While I styled this set with summer macrame heels, I would love to see it with white sneakers to play down the dazzle. I think bright white shoes would be the perfect modern 80’s addition to this yellow two piece. So brave it this year and pull out your one color fruit outfit you’ve been dying to wear. Because let’s be serious, we don’t wear these outfits to not get noticed.

What do you think? Would you ever wear all-yellow, or all any one color, for that matter?
