Some would say I have a sunny disposition…Just kidding. No one would ever say that about me. Given that I am lacking in that department, I have to make up for it via smoke and mirrors. And by smoke and mirrors, I mean a convincing, albeit fake, smile and a pop of color. You do what you can.
The fall is particularly difficult on those of us with permanent “side-eye” attitudes, so it’s good to keep it light in the color palette. I like to go with bright yellow. Does it compliment my already sallow skin? Probably not. Does it make toddlers smile? Definitely. And really that’s what it’s all about, isn’t folks? Making children smile…
Not really. Let’s be honest, toddlers wouldn’t know fashion if it hit them on their adorable yet very soft heads. But I do love yellow. And I do love the way it makes me feel. Particularly when it’s radiating from that giant star we call the sun. But who needs the sun (everyone, actually, but go with me on this one), when you own any of the following items. The ‘Paddington Bear’ style raincoat alone is enough to make me want to skip, and that’s saying a boatload.
