Dress Deja Vu - Pink or Yellow?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week, we saw Kaley Cuoco knock it out of the style park in a bright yellow <i>Tadashi Shoji </i>dress. I loved the sweet girly appeal of the dress and remembered seeing a similar design on Jenna Dewan a few months back. This is 'Dress Déja Vu' with a citrus twist. The only difference between the dresses are the sleeves and colour. Both are made of a delicate pleated lace with tiered tulle skirt and ribbon criss-cross belt.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUIHXN8pUNrsVBS-QA3HgqPxah3adDdljssrMtAgfSY-jcJNKv9EwDlFbiJLCscm45TygZr2ftiaqS89rRDkq5eoNTU5O2H8FabDWM9RX2hewH-3685r1UJ3wOSiHgbbSA55HEmm0eS8AC/s640/dejavu.jpg" width="640" /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Kaley Cuoco </span></b>picked out the sleeveless sunflower yellow version of the shimmer lace dress from <i>Tadashi Shoji's </i>Spring RTW 2012 line.
