ORANGE

I go through these phases of surrounding myself with my obsessions du jour, usually it's color related. Lately, I am obsessed with all things orange. Maybe it's because I read a poem recently by Jane Yolen or that it's a sure sign of warmer days ahead. Whatever it is - I want everything in this sunny color!
To be honest, it's never been a favorite of mine. The fear of looking like a jack-o-lantern has always been a problem. But, the orange that I am loving is not the one that says "Hello Halloween!" It's more of a tangerine, not quite coral not quite pumpkin. It seems I'm not alone in my attraction because I am seeing it everywhere.

Check these "cuties" get it?? "cuties"...

I especially love pairing any of these colors with other colors that would not be expected, say yellow, plum, blue, even green. Feeling nervous? Try one of these with a pair of jeans, orange is the perfect pop of color every outfit needs. Feel like rocking the orange dress above? Throw on a pair of gold sandals or ballet flats and you're "oh so sweet."
"Orange" you excited to try some for yourself?
