Orange Appeal

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!

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.

  2. I love orange! I remember that you never used to like it but I’m glad you’re open-minded and willing to try new things. The color suits you! It’s such a warm hue and compliments your skintone perfectly!

      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.

      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! 😦

    Discovering orange now is an illustration that life is a continuum…..no matter that I am older, I am still experiencing “another first time activity or whatever in my life”….keeps the joy in being alive!

      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.
