Orange is a beautiful autumnal colour, and pumpkins adorn every front porch in our neighbourhood. I’ve never been a fan of orange, but since I bought my first orange cotton-knit, high low top in spring, it’s growing on me! Orange, tangerine, peach, apricot–delicious flavours, yummy–plus: coral, salmon and burnt orange–a variety of fabulous colours, and I don’t know why it took me so long to add these warm shades to my wardrobe.
While in Costa Rica in April, I received this beautiful orange crocheted top as a gift. I bought orange nail polish for my fingernails and toes!
During the summer, I wore my peachy tank top. Whether I wear tanks or tees, they have to be feminine and have details that make them special.
We’ve had some warm, summer-like days and I wore this Navajo-inspired outfit this fall a couple of weeks ago, The skirt has panels of coral, turquoise, denim and sandy beige with colourful matching beads sewn around the hem. The top also has the same tiny beads sewn around the neckline.
I bought an orange cardigan recently and a bright tangerine jacket for fall.
Orange goes so well with brown, beige, black and white.
Do you wear orange?

Thank you Jean! I should have mentioned that you influenced me – you have always worn orange (and every colour). You’re a woman of many colours! I’m finally learning not to be stuck in rut concerning colours. Being open-minded and trying new things keeps us young.
There’s a good reason orange is in the rainbow – Orange is beautiful! ♥

You know I used to like crazy. I know I would love a coat/jacket like yours tho. I seriously don’t have one speck of orange in my closet. I have a necklace that has orange and turquoise on it and that is it. When in high school and college almost ALL of my closet was orange. Weird how that happens.

No orange when you used to have so much? Perhaps it’s time to wear orange again!

Thank you Jan! Definitely lovely shades–sherbet-y, creamy shades, and corals! Colours add fun to fashion. It would be a dull world without colour, if everything was just black and white, like television used to be! 😦

Thanks Suzanne! Not sure why I avoided orange but sure lovin’ it now. I’m sure orange suits you!!
The jacket is waterproof so I wore it today and it brightened up a wet, dreary day.
The hat is from the 60s. I keep everything. I need to find an old photo of me wearing it, there’s one in a box somewhere in this house. That would be funny 😉

Queen of the pirates and now, too, of the pumpkin. 🙂 The orange color, or pumpkin, it looks lovely, is great with your hair and skin. It is an elegant color and, at the same time, fun and casual. All your suggestions are pretty. I love your blouse and your jacket is gorgeous.
