The deal with orange.




Forever 21 shoes and top; American Eagle pants; Fossil Watch

The lighting is a little weird on these photos ... some weird stuff happened in the editing. It's all a work in progress, my friends! I wore these shoes to work and got a bunch of compliments. Honestly, I'm so so happy I bought them. They make me smile every time I look down at my feet! Is that silly? Neverrrr.

I read an article the other day about whether the colour "orange" is just a trend, or if it's here to stay. At first, I thought "whaaa? It's just another colour...", but then I realized I have never owned as much orange as I do right now. It always reminded me of Halloween and I would NEVER have paired it with black (like I did here). Maybe it's the fact that I'm getting older and am less likely to notice holiday themes in my outfits? Or maybe because "Tangerine Tango" is the pantone colour of the year...

What do you think of orange?

  2. I don't own much orange, I love it but for some reason I find it intimidating when looking for clothing? Not sure why. It looks lovely on you though! And I adore those shoes!!!

  11. Crushing big time on that blouse of yours, Kelly! Orange has definitely found its way into my closet too! Even if it goes out of fashion, I'm gonna wear loads of orange in the coming days!

  12. I'm a ginger, and my hair does not like orange, haha. I do have one orange snood, but that's about the only orange thing you'll find in my wardrobe. I did spot a really really cute orange cardy at a shop a while ago but for $50 it was out of my price range :)

    Alos, I LOVE your cute ballet flats! x

    1. I'm sure you'll find a shade of orange that's wonderfully perfect! But honestly, I hate wearing brown and it might be because I have brown hair. So I do know what you mean :)

  13. Tangerine Tango ALL THE WAY! Somebody once told me that orange is my color when I was about 15 and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I'm sure the person just said it on a whim, but I still wear orange whenever I get the chance. So I hope it's here to stay haha!

    I love this blouse on you!

  15. I got into an orange kick just a couple weeks ago, bought a few pieces, and haven't really worn them yet! I do love this top on you! It's got a nice, vibrant hue!

    1. Thanks! I got it a couple months back so I'm not sure if they'd still have the exact one, but they might have something really similar!

  17. Love it! I just did a bunch of online shopping and when it all arrived I realised everything was red or orange haha! Great top, brightens up any day (weird lighting or not) :)
