InStyle magazine recommends Tangerine as a color to add to your summer wardrobe this year. I feel ahead of the game--my closet already holds quite a bit of orange in various shades! It's a far friendlier color than many people realize. (Coral is a good starter color if you're easing into orange.)
Try an orange scarf loosely knotted around your neck, or as a stylish headwrap.
This is at Etsy Seller Textile Monster's shop.
Too warm for even a light scarf? How about a necklace? This is from my favorite Etsy jeweler: MomPotter at Ocean Breeze.
Feeling a little shy? Not quite ready for a big burst of orange? Try earrings. These are wonderful with green clothing. They're also at Mom Potter's shop.
JCPenney has a great sale this weekend. This blouse is on my wishlist. Here's a tiny closeup of its fabric.
I've been wearing this color for a week, and I love it: OPI Atomic Orange. I borrowed this photo from Amazon.
This was my favorite dress last year and I still love it.(Yes, I wore this year's hot color last year. I feel like such a trendsetter!) It's Calvin Klein, purchased for an affordable price at Burlington Coat Factory. (I was ecstatic to find the same dress in turquoise at Ross this year!)
Last year I wore it with lime green accessories. This year I've worn darker green or brown with it.
How do you feel about orange? What's your favorite summer color?
I sort of live in blues, blue reds, blue greens, blue grays, blue blacks, and blue browns.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble with oranges. Orange is on the oppisite side of the color wheel from blue. ;-)
I'm not much of an orange gal myself, but my mom bought me a beautiful blouse for my birthday (I haven't worn it yet because it's not quite my birthday yet ;) ) that's peachy, so that's kind of close, right? I'll have to post a picture here in a couple weeks. :)

I can't do orange either but I am happy I found some fun beads and put some things together that you like. :) Thanks for the mention!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress! Great color & style for you :) but I echo your first poster... I haven't found an orange tone I can wear. I do alot of blue, esp. medium bright tones... periwinkle, bright navy.
ReplyDeleteOrange flowers make me happy too :)

I did think of one "orange" item I have in my accessories. (OK, so probably still more "peach" than orange, but I'm trying!) ;) I have a necklace strand of coral from when I lived in Okinawa. Haven't worn it in ages, but I just might have to pull it out and see if it will go with my birthday shirt. :)
ReplyDeleteOrange is such a cheerful color. Even a little bit of it brightens my day. :)
