I hadn't planned on yellow either. I don't think I own a single piece of yellow clothing, my wardrobe is mostly cool tones. But I thought that a laffy-taffy banana yellow would contrast nicely with that. I think I may just need to step outside the box on this one and go with it. Maybe it'll open up a whole new color pallette for me.From the pictures it looks similar to my yellow mini preston. I hadn't planned on yellow at the time, but I really love it...sunny but not over the top at the same time.
