With a black lace dress.

Just tried one on in Zara. I'm worried it might be a bit bumble bee. Sad

Oh yes - sounds great. Would be very useful with other outfits too - instant colour, instant style.

Personally no as I'd look like a big yellow beach ball

However I saw someone wearing one a week or two ago & absolutely loved it. I felt very Envy that she was young, slim & gorgeous enough to pull it off!

Yellow renders me the colour of cat shit, so no.

Don't ever go to the M.E.N. Arena wearing that blazer as you'll be mistaken for a steward.

When you said neon yellow I thought you meant lollipop lady look alike but that yellow is fine! Looks nice :)

It looks a lot more yellow in RL. I'm having a wobble about it already.

Word to the wise ...I bought a fab bright yellow jacket and felt great until I wore it to go on holiday where upon it turned itself into hi-vis jacket at the airport and a hi-di-hi holidaymakers at the hotel . Grin

I've bought the yellow blazer. Shock

I will not wear it to the MEN or an airport. Grin

I tried on the pink one but the yellow is nicer but a bit tighter on the arms. If I cut a bit of the lining will that make it looser?

If it's the issue of the lining tugging when moving about and making it tight then yes cutting the lining will help. Otherwise probably won't

I'm not sure Earl. The 2 jackets were the same but different colours. The yellow just seems to have a lot more lining. Will have to think.
