There’s nothing mellow about this bright yellow shift dress ($19.99). It’s faux doily texture adds interesting detail to its classic feminine shape. For a more defined waistline (and a nudge to Jackie O), I tied on a black cotton belt. A

black clutch and a black-banded watch echo that sentiment. To finish the look, I had a little fun with black and white animal print heels. How do you style your not-so-mellow yellows?
