The only orange dress I own is one I purchased last summer at a little boutique called Dream in Fremont, a fun neighborhood north of downtown Seattle. Despite it's vibrant color it is the most versatile summer dress I have ever owned. I was able to dress it up to attend a friend's wedding, but also wore it on casual trips downtown, and I can always throw a cardigan over my shoulders when the evenings get chilly.
The dresses below are all from various Spring 2009 Ready-to-Wear collections. Oh, how I wish I could afford these pieces!

Valentino (via coco+kelley)How have you worked orange into your wardrobe? Have you ever dared to wear an entirely orange outfit like the ones above?
It may be a bit daunting, but give orange a try! After all, as Frank Sinatra once said, "Orange is the happiest color."

ReplyDeleteOoh, lots of orange one-shouldered numbers I notice.
ReplyDeleteI have a great orange shirt that was my mums on the 60's it's lovely!
With my red hair, I cannot really do orange. I am jealous of people who can pull it off! :)
ReplyDeleteThe New Black,
ReplyDeleteMy brother has flaming red hair, too, and because of it, his favorite color is orange! For being a straight teenage boy, he dresses himself rather well, and wears pieces that have orange highlights in them, such as an brown, green, and gray argyle sweater with small orange cross-hatching across the pattern. His hair brings out the orange in the sweater.

ReplyDeleteI have an unhealthy obsession with orange.... that Valentino dress is to die for!
