In a season that's so colorful that almost anything goes, why would Girlawhirl pay special attention to one color over another? When it comes to yellow, there's a reason: it was one of the colors she most frequently saw coming down the runways for Fall 08. That means that it's going to hang around a bit. If she buys items in washed down shades or yellows that swing to the greenish side, she'll be able to incorporate them into her early fall wardrobe, and who knows, she might just be able to wear it when next spring rolls around...
-- The mix of a sheer fabric and a delicate floral makes this yellow printed blouse almost irresistible to Girlawhirl. She loves that she can wear it with jeans layered under a sweater immediately, on top of shorts and a tank when the temperatures warm up, and when fall rolls around she can pair it with a brown skirt for a completely new look.

-- Who knew that a yellow sweater or jacket could go with so much? Girlawhirl did, because she just happens to have left a yellow cashmere cardigan on the back of her chair in the office a few months ago. Since then, it's become her go-to topper, looking great over navy, brown, and even dark denim on casual Friday. For spring, she'll update the look, either with the super lightweight and feminine ruffle neck cardigan or perfect weekend jacket from J.Crew.
