And I keep forgetting that I already have an orange belt and a small orange purse, so I shouldn't double up, hehee. </p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing lots of orange at YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499329 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:20:17 +0000 Ana 499329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I'm so excited about all the orange I think we're going to be seeing in the forum this spring and summer! I had no idea there were so many fans. It looks like several of us are looking for orange button downs and handbags, so I'll keep my eyes peeled and post any leads on the forum. : )</p> <p>Jayne, I love the outfit you posted! I have pants just like those and I wear them all the time. It's really fun. You should go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499280 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:51:51 +0000 rute 499280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't buy nothing (i'm at SYC) but I have tons of orange! I love! Orange lipstick, nail polish, bag, jeans and two tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499278 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:47:51 +0000 Kari 499278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in - with my own color interpretations. Mustard, curry, pumpkin, paprika, ginger, salmon and coral... even bronze can kind of fit within that whole spectrum.</p> <p>Right now I'm wearing a rusty-iron red pair of cords, and I'm definitely planning to break out my pumpkin-y orange cardigan again this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499274 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:40:03 +0000 Debbie 499274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color. I am not sure how it will look next to my face though but I want a bag and I want to try a button down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499187 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:32:09 +0000 Heather 499187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ALL IN!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499182 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 19:29:01 +0000 goldenpig 499182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love orange! It's one of my two favorite colors (red and orange). I have an old orange hoodie from REI that is the only thing I will wear when travelling (it's my airport uniform). I have a lot of rust orange colored clothes for fall including two coats and an orange sweater poncho and a cashmere orange sweater. For spring I have the orange Bailey 44 striped dress, and I also have a pair of orange AG Stevie skinny cords and a yellow and orange belt from the recent Anthro sale on the way. I'm hoping to wear my navy peacoat or sweater with the orange cords and combine both hot spring colors into one outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499128 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:59:22 +0000 san 499128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had an aversion to the color orange for as long as I can remember. It's the color of pumpkins or the orange crayon that I don't like. Some of these other oranges will be pretty on others but way too bright for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499124 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:55:35 +0000 jayne 499124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh so YES! Just not near the face for me, since there is no orange that suits my coloring. But Instyle has an inspirational photo with orange slacks with a blue blazer that I keep looking at again and again. Just seems so bold! Don't know if I can take the leap!</p> <p>Mochi- that Bag is fantastic! perfect orange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-499000 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:12:37 +0000 Lisa 499000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a big fan of orange on me. I think I'll stick to nails or accessories for a small dip into orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498897 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:48:02 +0000 Steph 498897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and for nails, I had OPI's Mod-ern Girl on my toes once and really liked it. Monsooner or Later is also great, although it is a bit more of an orange-red. I never do bold on my fingers, but if I did, I think I would go with one of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498896 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:44:15 +0000 Steph 498896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had time to be here in forever, but I saw this and had to comment, because I love orange! My favorite orange piece is this dress: <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/anthropologie_graphical_dress/thing?id=31088056" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/anthro.....d=31088056</a></p> <p>If you want to do an orange lipstick, check out M'Orange and Vegas Volt from MAC. I don't like bold lips, so they aren't for me, but they could look great. I had no idea that orange was going to be big this spring. I'm excited to see what's out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498854 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:17:00 +0000 catgirl 498854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, depending on the shade. I am not good in apricots or rusts - I need a brighter true orange, or a red-orange, and if those are around then I am on board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498847 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 04:11:37 +0000 Belladogga 498847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to orange being widely available in clothing in the coming months. I recently got the JCrew cerise boatneck tee in stripe and my dog is sporting a new orange collar... and I'm one of the people who loves orange with pink : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498826 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:32:11 +0000 shipskitty 498826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple is my favourite colour but orange runs a close second. It doesn't love my skin and hair though so it would need to be well away from my face in some kind of accessory perhaps. I love the yellow and red oranges more than the pink ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498810 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:01:02 +0000 Isabel 498810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love orange, but it looks horrible on me...so I will have to limit it to leather bracelets and skirts. Burnt orange/saffron does look good on me, so I may go with a lightweight Spring scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498808 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 03:00:11 +0000 cciele 498808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange is such a happy color to me and I really like it (I have an orange KitchenAid mixer), but I have traditionally avoided it especially near the face because it makes me look sallow. The orange Bailey 44 dress was awesome, but that was when my hair was coppery red -- now it's a bluish red and clashes horrible with the dress.</p> <p>Anyhow, I have a pair of orange cords that I hope to be adding to my wardrobe! And maybe some orange jewelry -- we'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498805 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:57:54 +0000 Mochi 498805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dislike garish oranges like, well, the fruit. But recently have been coming around to different orange possibilities, which I need to explore. It can really be cheerful, though I am not sure if the color will love me. </p> <p>This bag came up in a google search of "shades of orange." Do you agree that it qualifies? How would you describe it? I like this shade. Is it coral? Salmon?</p> <p>Peachy oranges are also attractive to me, and rusty orange shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498795 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:43:06 +0000 MNsara 498795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, Ana, that's the one the -- JCrew funnel neck sweater. It's funny, but that color reflected so near my face makes me look healthy and alive! (Or else I'm delusional and no one has told me yet I LOVE that shade of orange!</p> <p>So, I just added the JCrew Jester sweater to my orange collection. I, um, needed an orange sweater option a bit less thick/warm than that funnel neck. . . ;-)</p> <p>I'm loving all these orange links!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498782 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:32:19 +0000 nancylee 498782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange and coral were my discovery colors of 2011. I'm all in for them again, and this year I'd like to try a little purple and green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498764 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 02:10:13 +0000 Angie 498764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We also have orange walls in our house!</p> <p>Ana and Jonesy, thanks for the outfit excitement. You'll see it VERY soon. </p> <p>Ana, you are right. I wear peach well and wore it a lot in the late '80s. It works with my peaches and cream complexion. I *might* wear it again :)</p> <p>I don't ever wear nail polish - or bright lipstick (unless it's an occasion that calls for "Chanel Fire" lipstick). But I am all for orange patterns and an orange bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498710 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 01:06:09 +0000 Kristen 498710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're actually painting a few walls in our living room orange...one that will complement the mustard yellow on the other walls, and the red couch and new brown chairs we are getting.</p> <p>Yeah, we're not afraid of colors at all in my house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in/page/2#post-498685 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:17:21 +0000 Amy 498685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Ana, that's a pretty blouse! I'm going to add that to my wishlist too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in#post-498676 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:38:05 +0000 DeniseP 498676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, my fellow orange lover! </p> <p>These might be some inexpensive ways to add some orange this spring with your black and denim: white blouse, orange print scarf or wide orange cuff bracelet. An orange silk flower pinned to your jacket or blouse might work. An orange belt? Also, some white denim jeans would look good too. (ClearlyClaire found some recently at TJMaax) How about thrifting a "new" jacket?<br /> A little bit of orange goes a long way for me. I know these are not "brilliant" ideas, but this is what I would try.<br /> This link has some good tips about the color orange, and other colors that mix well with it.<br /> <a href="http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorselection/p/orange.htm" rel="nofollow">http://desktoppub.about.com/cs.....orange.htm</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in#post-498652 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:39:31 +0000 Elly 498652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh! Squee! Orange is my favorite color. There was a period of time back in 2003-2004 I had a largely orange and coral wardrobe. Despite it being my absolute favorite color (I have a orange and yellow room in my house people!) I currently have no orange clothing. They tend to be favorite items and get worn out.</p> <p>I absolutely love orange clothing, but I'm actually struggling as to how to combine it into my wardrobe this spring. Because I'm rebuilding my wardrobe (and on a budget) currently most of my basics are black or denim. While I've seen some successful orange-and-black pairings, it has to be just the right shade of orange to work on me and not come out looking like Halloween and doesn't seem very springy. So, I've run up on this--- 1) my natural reaction is to go out and buy a bunch of beautiful orange while it is popular and the selection is good (because I'm more than happy to wear orange almost daily for years, but I might earn myself another unfortunate nickname doing that), 2) However, if I go buy an orange blouse or bag, I also have to find an olive, navy, or charcoal jacket to go with it, and maybe another skirt or pants or I can only wear it with my jeans. </p> <p>So, I'm celebrating, but am also welcoming suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in#post-498650 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:38:37 +0000 DeniseP 498650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange is one of my fav colors and have worn various shades of it for years. I'll definitely be wearing it all next year! Bought an orange purse last summer, but will add to my orange collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-for-spring-whos-in#post-498643 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:30:03 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 498643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I'm not sure I can wear it - though I adore it on others.
