For me, it's a clear, simple Crayola orange paired with solid black that reminds me of Halloween. So if it's a tomato orange/red paired with a black textured item (like the outfit you wore, Angie) it seems less Halloween-y to me, if that makes any sense at all :).
Yes, it is quite tricky to plan what to wear to the meet-up, eh? So many variables to consider....must be stylish, chic, practical, easy to get on and off, comfortable, weather-friendly...whew! So I know what you mean, Sveta!
At this point, I am leaning toward wearing a dress over a pair of floral silk pants....I have been very inspired by all of the dresses/skirts over pants looks on the runways (including Chanel--did you see the show?). I will probably wear booties with a small, walkable heel, and I have a new patterned top coat that I am itching to wear. I am hoping that my swift, large stride will help me out in keeping up with Angie and all of you YLFers!
