I'll admit, I can't always pull off the latest trends and my last foray into hipness was met with disaster and shame. But when I heard "Mimosa" had been declared the color for 2009 by Pantone, I was like, whaaaaaaaaa?

See, yellow isn't exactly an easy color to pull off (see proof) -- and me, I'd rather drink a mimosa than wear one. Unless I were a Gemini, who's apparently made cosmically happier by yellow eyeshadow (seriously ... see your eyeshadow horoscope here).

Anyway, will you try it? If yes, here's advice from experts on how to do it right. If no, I'm with ya ... even though Project Runway's Christian Siriano would call me un-fierce.

* So you'd rather just wear the colors that actually look good on you? Wimp.
