Orange is a colour hard to find in clothes and shoes. If they are out there I am drawn to them like iron to a magnet. Like with the orange skirt. For me it is a colour which brings a glow to my face, like all reds.<br /> And any remarks about Halloween or Kings Day or anything like that... just smile and totally ignore it. Which is a grand solution for a lot of things. (I should listen to this advice myself as I am usally easy to wind up haha.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846376 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 18:49:09 +0000 Sara L. 1846376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits! &nbsp;I love your shoes in #1 and I like the track stripe on your leggings in #4. &nbsp;Of course, the orange loafers in the last pic are especially fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846360 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 18:10:50 +0000 Anonymous 1846360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not Dutch either (Swiss), but I like your style. &nbsp;Follow your blog it is fab. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846342 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 17:26:33 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1846342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super stylish and totally fab. :)</p> <p>I am a huge fan of orange too, though there's no Dutch in my background. I am really surprised however that no Americans have mentioned that we actually have a similar problem if we wear orange with black. If we do, someone *always* brings up Halloween. It's unfortunate because the colors look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846338 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 17:08:56 +0000 Style Fan 1846338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colour on you.&nbsp; Love that skirt.&nbsp; Orange is my favourite colour.&nbsp; I had orange hair when I was very little (actually most people would say it was strawberry blonde).&nbsp; I don't wear as much orange as I use to but I have some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846274 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 15:17:42 +0000 texstyle 1846274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this color on&nbsp; you - fantastic outfits all around too. I can wear some shades of orange but I don't find them available much. Coral is about as close as I get most often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846271 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 15:11:05 +0000 Janet 1846271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is amazing! You always look so polished and chic.</p> <p>I have a lot of Dutch in my family bloodline (the Van Cortlandts who helped build New Amsterdam/New York!), and have an affinity for all things Dutch. But I also don't wear orange very well. I still wear it on certain occasions (for example, my favorite cycling jersey which matches my orange bike!), but usually stick to wearing it in a print where other colors can mitigate its lack of flattery on my skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846265 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 14:45:57 +0000 catseye 1846265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange is beautiful on you.&nbsp;<br />You have amazing shoes too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846250 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 14:14:45 +0000 Thistle 1846250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!</p> <p>If does great things for you.

Lol. That's me and my obsession with complementing the architecture with one's fashion... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846140 Tue, 19 Sep 2017 04:33:14 +0000 Dianna 1846140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange loves you!&nbsp; You wear orange so well, I love all your outfits.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846064 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 22:37:32 +0000 Kate 1846064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love orange too, Greetje, so I really enjoyed seeing all your orange items.

And you look gorgeous in it, Greetje.&nbsp;</p> <p>You have KILLER style, and always look chic, modern, polished and pulled together. Sometimes dressier. Sometimes more casual - but always 100% FABULOUS.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846045 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 21:22:27 +0000 Ginger 1846045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, those are such great outfits! There are a lot of options for wearing Dutch orange, aren't there? And I know how you feel about getting comments like that. I feel like I'm inviting them when I wear red/white/blue when it's not a national holiday - although it's just a great color combination. The same for any shade of red &amp; green, when it's not December. I'm glad you're wearing orange when you want to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846041 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 21:02:10 +0000 Keturah 1846041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are my new style icon. Just wow! I love orange and feel it doesn't get enough consideration as a serious contender. I often wear some variation of orange or coral for spring and summer. (I shift towards plum, oxblood, etc for a/w.)</p> <p>Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846033 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 20:30:02 +0000 Laura G 1846033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these! Very fresh-looking for someone with the complexion for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846030 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 20:20:29 +0000 Mac 1846030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and fresh!&nbsp; That shade of orange is not a very common colour where I live (in Toronto), so whenever I see someone wearing it, I assume that he or she is Dutch.&nbsp; It always makes me smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846027 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 20:11:40 +0000 DonnaF 1846027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!!! Those oxfords!!! Dutch orange, at least as it appears on my monitor, is probably one of my better colors, but it is not very common in the U.S. Maybe I should make a trip to the Netherlands? But I am short (about 155 cm), so I don't know that I would find much to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/orange-is-a-lovely-colour#post-1846019 Mon, 18 Sep 2017 19:50:04 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1846019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi guys,<br /> I am back again. Sorry I am always so unreliable, but I just cannot find time. Anyway... I wanted to share the colour orange with you.<br /> As a Dutch person, orange is a familiar colour: our king's last name is orange and on his birthday the whole country is dressed in silly orange items. And I mean the WHOLE country. So wearing this colour puts you at risk. People might say: "It is not the king's birthday yet".<br /> I choose to ignore such remarks as I love what orange does for my complexion.<br /> Here are four outfits with this colour.<br /> Greetje </p>
