I loved it way back when I bought Mrs. Yellow (my giant handbag, go and look for that post!) I still love yellow, but it can&#8217;t just be &#8216;yellow.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m drawn to the bright acid yellow that hurts your eyes. It can be even be chartreuse, but it can&#8217;t be fluorescent. It can be mustard yellow, but not lemon yellow. It can&#8217;t be marigold, either. While thinking of all these yellows, I thought of how we used to define colors by our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors\">Crayola<\/a> crayons. I was devastated when they <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crayola.com\/colorcensus\/history\/chronology.cfm\">changed some colors<\/a>, back in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know&nbsp;\u00a0that Crayola has a color called &#8216;beaver&#8217; and a newer one called &#8216;inchworm?&#8217; Eeoow!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the leather biker jacket above is by Blumarine. It is staggering on every level, including price. I bought it, but don&#8217;t tell my husband. The dress is beautiful too, and if it&#8217;s still around when I get out of debtor&#8217;s prison, I might try to get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It always annoys me to be part of a trend, but I love yellow.
