We are back with the next Pantone Fall color- Ceylon yellow. This color gets it’s name from a gemstone, but is really kind of a new spin on the popular spice colors of recent years. It’s reminiscent of turmeric or mustard but with a decidedly brighter hue. I find it easier to wear with my skin tone.

This is a great one to try on accessories as I am seeing a lot of lovely bags, scarves, and jewelry with this bright accent color. I personally love it as a bold statement dress. It’s so bright that it’s almost a neutral. I like to be unexpected sometimes and go for the bold color, stand out in a sea of black and navy (obviously not at a funeral please).

This is a perfect color to wear as a top or around your face towards the winter if, like me, your summer glow fades and you start to look a little pale. I always need color to brighten my skin- it’s either that or resorting to the equivalent of stage makeup through the winter months. Come January people start asking me if I’m feeling okay, yes I’m not sickly or dying of influenza… I’m just extremely pale. I promise I’m going to make it through the winter.  God forbid I wear a neutral color like last year’s rose gold or blush pink, I looked like a very poorly Victorian child with consumption. My dark circles are no fucking joke people. Jewel tones like ceylon yellow are my ticket to looking healthy and photo ready all winter long. That and under eye cover up.

By the way, this dress in the photo is available on our blog shop right HERE.
