Admittedly, yellow is not the easiest colour to wear, but if you\u2019re not feeling daring enough for a bright yellow; choose a pastel tone that will be easily accessorised with other pastels like blue or pink. Printed patterns look fab against a bright yellow, making a mix of bold colours a spring favourite.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Embellished Accessories\u00a0 <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A bit of bling can jazz up an outfit and embellished accessories are just the way to do it.\u00a0 An embellished clutch goes will add just enough sparkle to a plain outfit, and if you\u2019re keeping accessories to a minimum because your dress takes all the attention, go for an ear cuff that\u2019s not too obvious and also perfect if you\u2019re wearing your hair in an up-style for the day.<\/p>\n<h1>The Guys<\/h1>\n<p><b><i>Tweed Blazer<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Nothing says the races like a tweed blazer.
