Golden Hues: The 2012 Emmys
Julianne Moore, Julie Bowen, and Kaley Cuoco…just to name a few. Celebrities embraced the color yellow for Sunday’s 2012 Emmys, and in so doing selected a trend color for fall. Warm, sunshine-y, and just plain fun to wear, yellow is the color of changing leaves, butternut squash, and the waning summer sun. Set against gray, cognac and black, yellow can actually be quite demure. Mixed in with navy or florals, it’s fresh. And styled with other blocks of color, it’s absolutely edgy. Choose a bright yellow frock for an autumn wedding, or amp up an LBD with a be-jeweled necklace. Bring a little sunshine to the office with a yellow trouser or pencil skirt. Afterhours looks are infused with life when a metallic clutch, pair of shades or sky high heel is added to your mix. Score your own golden trophy with these yellow pieces:
1. Kate Spade New York Plaza Athenee Short Necklace: Inspired by vintage jewels, this short necklace is bejeweled with a sunburst of yellow jewels.
