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.
Yeah, we're not afraid of colors at all in my house.
Ana and Jonesy, thanks for the outfit excitement. You'll see it VERY soon.
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
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!
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!
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. . .
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.
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?
Peachy oranges are also attractive to me, and rusty orange shades.

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.
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!
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.
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.
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 : )
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!
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: http://www.polyvore.com/anthro.....d=31088056
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!
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.
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!
Mochi- that Bag is fantastic! perfect orange!

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.
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!

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.
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.
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. : )
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!
I started keeping an eye out last year. And I keep forgetting that I already have an orange belt and a small orange purse, so I shouldn't double up, hehee.
I'm looking forward to seeing lots of orange at YLF!
