Orange is the Color!!!

Orange...mango...coral...whatever you want to call it...it's the hot color for spring! 

My fashionable friend, Skip, is obsessed with it.  When we went shopping this past Sunday, all he talked about was orange, orange, and more orange.  And yes, he did pick up something orange, a belt, at Neiman's during our (really his) shopping spree.

Every store we went to had something in that color...pants, shorts, dresses, cardigans, jewelry, and jeans.  It was so refreshing to see that bright spring color.  So please don't be afraid to try it!!

For those of you that are skeptical about wearing orange, maybe you should start small.  C. Wonder has a gold and orange bangle for only $28.  H&M has an orange clutch handbag for only $17.95.  You could also try the Vince Camuto peep toe orange wedge shoes or the Lela Rose for Payless "Mapleton Wedge" in orange for only $54.  These are very subtle ways of wearing orange without going to crazy.  Accessories are the perfect way to try a color first.

If you are willing to try "wearing" the color, start off with an orange blouse from J. Crew for $98.  Or a pair of wide legged orange trousers by French Connection.  How about an orange maxi skirt by Mango (perfect name, right?) for $60.  And for full on orange, try the Nanette Lepore "Picture Day Dress".

If you don't want to wear all orange, try a touch of orange like the French Connection "Pippa" silk dress that's orange, tan and black.   Go to the Gap and get the orange, red and brown color blocked cardigan for only $55.

Go big or go small...just go orange!!!  Try it and see what you think.

Enjoy your day!!
