Outfit of the Day - Black and Yellow

Courtesy of Harper's Bazaar September 2011 (US Issue)

Pop songs aside, black and yellow are a great combination.  Last year I was really into yellow and grey, which I still adore, but black accessories always work and can be a little easier to pull together.

Last month I scored this beautiful vintage yellow dress from an estate sale.  I decided to wear it on an evening dinner cruise:

Pardon the blurry pics!

The high collar of this dress doesn't lend itself well for big statement jewelry, so I kept it simple with pearls.  Originally, I was thinking of pairing this dress with navy blue accessories, but black just felt a little more appropriate for the evening.  A structured handbag, pearl/crystal/chain bracelet, and black pumps with subtle sparkly stones complete this look.

As the seasons transition, you don't have to retire your bright colors!  Consider black or brown accessories to give your outfit a chic and cohesive look.
