Hmmm ~ orange is tricky. Ok, now who exactly decided that orange is the new black and what was wrong with BLACK being the new black?
So if you decide you’re going to “do” orange, I’d like you to please raise your right hand and repeat after me: “I (state your name) solemnly swear that I will never pair orange with black.” PLEASE, I beg of thee. Otherwise you will look all Halloween-ish. You will. Trust me.
Additionally, if you wear too much orange you run the risk of someone belting out something like:
HEY ~ Kool-Aid! You don’t want this either.
Other than accenting an outfit with some occasional orange accessories, I don’t generally wear it. But I decided to give it a try over this past weekend with this fun orange vest.
I even paired it with my Hermès belt …because, you know, EVERYTHING looks better with an Hermès belt… but kept the rest of my outfit fairly neutral: white, tan and gold.
The key here is to wear one item of orange, MAYBE two. Don’t have a heavy hand when it comes to orange. Perhaps you might consider one of these orange beauties:
Christian Louboutin leather spiked wallet~ just take this out and wave it around so everyone can see your OTHER Louboutin.
or something more reasonable like this House of Fraser satchel.
Isabel Marant embellished skirt
BCBG MAXAZRIA runway pant ~ note: NOT paired with all black.
So, there you go ~ a few splashes of orange. But, hey, this is just my little ‘ole opinion.
Orange you glad you know?
I am Orange with envy. cute vest.
If I absolutely HAD to wear orange, it would have to be something like that wonderful vest!! Very refreshing!
The orange vest looks spectacular against the crisp white fitted jeans and shirt. Great choice. Orange really is a tricky color to work with.
splashes of orange, right? otherwise one could look like a traffic cone.
Yeah, love that vest.
Nice tree, too. 🙂
I disliked orange for a long time until about 3 years ago, when I realized that hints of it can be interesting and make a statement at the same time. About those BCBG pants, how does the crotch (sorry to be so direct) fit? Crotches can be tricky! They are on major final sale on their site.
Love those shoes….and the skirt though my mini days are over. You are so cute!
Yep, Orange! I’ve a polo shirt in orange, and if I wear it I do feel like I’m at a construction site. So, it hangs on a hanger a lot, and one day will make a fine dust cloth that really stands out.
I’am loving your outfit right now, you look gorgeous!!!
