Colors aren't only about how you LOOK, they are also about how you FEEL. Yellow makes me happy and I love it. This yellow makes me feel HAPPY, and I like tat. If you are very strict, it may be a touch too bright for Dark Autumn. It's close enough for me though, and I love it! I'm such a sucker for jeans and a simple top. If you add some accessories, it can take the outfit from blah to ta-da. I layered on jewelry, a headband, and added a burgundy bag. I felt great the whole day! Enjoy xoxoxo
