I've never been a big fan of the color yellow, but based on the logs I'm seeing for spring, I better reconsider. Yellow is everywhere - from Pottery Barn to Hammacher Schlemmer. I find yellow rather irritatingly bright and shiny and false. Like, I think people who really love yellow are probably the people who are really dark inside. Why else would you want to steal the sun and wear it on your chest in the form of a sweater set?
Plus, there are so many negative connotations of yellow - heck, in the Middle Ages, yellow was the color of evil! (Sorry, Old Yeller.) It's also the color of sickness as in you're looking a bit "yellow around the gills."
I guess yellow is also a wartime color thanks to Tony Orlando & Dawn and their old oak tree. Maybe that explains its current popularity the best.(And if you don't know who TO&D are, consider yourself lucky!)
Either way, the Yellow Submarine has already left the station and landed in your mailbox. So unless you're a fashion coward, it's time to get on board.

Hello Mimi,
Sorry for contacting you via the comments, but I couldn't find your email address :)
I was hoping you could add us to your blog roll/links, as we have added your blog to ours: http://thefashiontime.com/fashion-links/fashion-blogs/ .
My name is Mister Ghost, and I am an Editor at The Fashion Time Magazine online: http://thefashiontime.com/
We are a new online fashion magazine. In fact, the first one in history to feature a collaboration between an Uzbekistan -- a Central Asian nation located west of China, South of Russia -- and an American journalist.
Kamola Navo -- Navo is a Farsi word meaning "with pure melody" -- our publisher, is an award winning journalist from Tashkent, Uzbekistan who specializes in women's issues and fashion.
Kamola founded the first Fashion Blog in Uzbekistan: http://fashionblog.uz/, and is the guiding force behind the Women's Blog of Uzbekistan, of which, Steppe Magazine wrote:
"One of the most popular Uzbek blogs. The Women’s blog is run by several progressive young women, whose main aim is to discuss daily problems of women living in Uzbekistan which are not covered by the mainstream media. A great number of women in the country contribute their life stories - making the women’s blog very unique."
It was always Kamola's dream to do a Fashion Magazine/Blog in English covering world fashions, style, glamor, haute couture, and celebrities, and so here we are. :)
Sincerely,
Thanks Very Much.

Hi, it's Fashion Time Team. Can you delete the first comment we left here? Kamola Navo isn't a publisher anymore, so the info left here isn't true anymore.
Thanks,
