Tip of the day: Can I wear... ?

We recently got a question from a reader concerning her attire:

"I have a yellow shirt (color of Tweety bird). Can I throw it on with zebra print shoes? If so, what type (wedge, pump)? I need help!!!!!" – L.A.

Dear L.A. and the rest of our readers...

While we're not sure exactly what type of yellow shirt you have, you can throw it on with your zebra print shoes if (and that's a big if) you're careful. Since these two elements are so eye catching, you will want to keep the rest of your outfit completely neutral.

Try pairing your Tweety colored top with some basics like:

• A pair of trousers
• Dark wide legged jeans
• A knee length pencil skirt


Add a pair of zebra pumps or flats, depending on the look you're going for. Pumps will add a little sexy while flats will make it casual and sophisticated.

And remember kids, pairing yellow with black can be harsh. Soften the look by using shades of white, gray or brown in your bottoms and shoes.

Try some of these options.
