Not-So-Mellow Yellow Shoes For Summer

June 6th, 2009

The temperature is climbing, and colors that pop and sizzle make the hot summer months even more exhilarating.  Lately I’ve been craving bright-colored shoes, like blue (this summer’s coolest color), orange, and many other neon lovelies, especially these Davis by Ruthie Davis Graffiti Pumps.  It’s amazing how a tiny splash of color can take your wardrobe from drab to fab.

So now let’s take a look at what is the happiest and most refreshing color in the spectrum: yellow.  There’s just something about the color yellow that adds a little extra spring to your step, and a little more laughter to your life.  Yellow is also the most attention-grabbing color, so if you’re looking for a pair of showstopping shoes that shows off your playful personality, look no further!  Below the break, I’ve found a pair of yellow shoes for every occasion and budget.  Which is your favorite?
