When life gives you lemons...

Super Lemon (also known as PANTONE 14-0754!) is one of summer's most "optimistic" trends. I don't know about you, but when I think of yellow, I think of summer, the sun, bananas, and asians. However, "super lemon" is supposed to be about warmth, happiness, and radiance. It should be paired with other tropical colors and is complementary to blue.

I know what you are thinking. How can I pull off such a bold color? But don't fret...while some people will walk into a room wearing a bold "super lemon" minidress, there are subtler ways on sporting this eye-catching color while still looking your best. Look for small accents of color, or if you are wear a solid yellow top, pair it with neutral bottoms. Try American Apparel for your simple clothes (lots of basic tees, dresses, shorts, and skirts). The clothes are simple, but the colors are not. They're unique and bold, and can be paired with milder pieces without looking over the top.
