MissLissa, I think this colour looks best on very pale or dark skin. It's such a great contrast. I agree medium skin tones may be a bit harder to pull off. Miss K, that sounds adorable. I too get the most compliments when I wear a strong colour. For example my pink dress! I was nervous to wear it but got so many compliments on it! Keeping it up, on the other hand was another issue. Stupid strapless!

Everyone complimented me on the unusual combination (mustard yellow pants, black v-neck sweater and cream coloured shirt with a collar that ties in a bow, black oxford heels) - I thought it was very retro looking and the bright colour pants made me smile all day!

When I was a kid I had a doll decked out in a black polka dot dress and mustard yellow tights ... and I had her exact outfit to match. Good to see the trend is coming back ha ha .. I have always liked this colour. I especially like the Alloy V-neck
