When you think of yellow, you might picture a bold neon shade. Remember, you can also pick less vibrant yellows that are more pastel and less mustard.

Going all monochrome? Accessorise with some colour -- a yellow bag, for instance, will add plenty of character.

Under my umbrella
Nothing screams joy and happiness more than a bright yellow umbrella when it's pouring with rain. Brighten up a gloomy day when you carry one of these around.

Tasteful prints
Start small with some simple prints on an elegant pencil skirt. This will ensure you look smart and professional while still giving your outfit a bit of cheeky colour.

Warm colours
Make your colours count by wearing a maxi skirt in warm shades like orange, pink and yellow, and top it off with a bright yellow handbag.

Dress up
If your dress is much too bright, opt for a coat in a cool blue colour that will balance out the harshness of the yellow.
