When it comes to jewelry, big, bold and bright is ALL the rage. If you decide to keep your clothing simple then jewelry is a great way to “make your mark” (to quote a wise author/illustrator). This is the year of the tangerine…or at least it’s hue. It seems that everyone has a shade of orange, tangerine or coral that compliment their skin tone. When in doubt, lean toward the coral shades, as they are fairly universal.
The other bright, sunny color of the season is yellow. As I’ve mentioned before, yellow can be one tough color to pull off for many people. If you can’t wear that lemony shade, remember that gold (also in the yellow family) looks great on all warm skin tones. It’s making a major comeback, and don’t be afraid to mix it with your silver jewelry. For an unforgettable evening look, try a gold metallic top to give your outfit a pop. Don’t think you could do that without feeling like a Solid Gold dancer (totally showing my age)? Feel free to dial it down a notch and layer a metallic tank under a blazer or sweater.

Oranges and lemons also make excellent cocktails so if you’re planning a party, why not use the season’s hottest colors in your theme. Throw in some limes, another popular color, and you have a cocktail fashion trifecta.
