Yes, that’s right. Orange is the color for spring and summer 2008.
Don’t worry… you won’t look like a pumpkin. Well… maybe a little. I don’t recommend it for pregnant ladies unless you have a sense of humor. ;-)
Orange can be tricky to wear, but if you find the right pieces, you’ll look stunning. It’s a fun, bright color that can really add that pop to your wardrobe that you’ve been looking for.
If the idea of an entire orange dress scares the crap out of you, have no fear! You can wear an orange top with beige trousers or just stick to orange shoes with a few nicely placed orange accessories.
The best place to find your dose or orange is Banana Republic. They may be a bit pricey, but they have the best orange pieces I’ve seen so far. They have a fantastic silk ruffle-sleeved top for $64 and a beautiful silk button-back top for $79. They also have other orange tops starting at $18. Check it out >>
