A friend of mine says that if you want to know what I'll be wearing next year, just ask me what I hate right now.
This has been true of leggings, ankle boots, skinny jeans and the 80s revival. So far, I have remained strong on gladiator sandals and Uggs, and I take fierce pride in the fact that I never wore a trucker cap back in the day.
I'm reversing my position on mimosa, however, and two of my favorite designers are to blame.
My first foray into yellow was Betsy Johnson's fault, for making an adorable baby doll dress in bright yellow and then putting it on sale. More recently, the Lacoste show this Saturday had a gaggle of models take the runway, all decked out in gold and pastel, while cheerful music played.
I don't believe in the hemline theory or the lipstick bellwether, but I'm willing to be convinced that tough times drive us toward happier hues.
