I must confess that I don't use orange as often as I should. I have regretfully categorized it as Halloween appropriate only. I am not afraid to admit when am wrong and with the inspiring examples I have found and displayed in this post, its pretty obvious I am.
Orange is the swift kick my closet needs right now. It can be independent or a perfect partner in color, the orange/turquoise combination above is so unexpected, but works in the "why didn't I think of that?" kind of way. If wearing a full on dress or top is a little to much for you right now, work it in as a clutch or add to your outfit with a pair of killer orange heels.
I know Orange is not a color that one first thinks of or reaches for, but the next time you're looking for an outfit or a color to add a little pop into your look.... why don't you give orange a chance?

Jennine - its like I woke up one morning and realized how awesome orange was.. I can see why its one of your faves.
Natalie - Orange is very versatile, who would of thought it!
Friendinfash - Eva is amazing, I seem to envy everything she wears!
Kristina - Where have you been girl? Havent seen you at any events lately, hopefully that will change!
Love this! I had an Esprit orange sweater in college that I wore the crap out of! I felt special in it because it was a bright orange! I just remembered I do have an orange bag that I love wearing because it's a subdued orange so I treat it as a neutral or it can be used as a splash of color against a head to toe black look. I also love Eva's dress- the orange looks spectacularly fierce with the pink and also love Ashley's clutch! xo, Mel
I must say, my eye does wander to orange when I'm looking for something special. It's kind of like the new red, if I'm looking for an item that will really pop. And I love that it's not just seasonal; orange is very wearable in the cold months. If nothing else, it's a nice welcome from the grey days!
orange has always been a favorite color of mine so i'm really glad about this post. thanks!
That first picture is amazing! And I could definitely see myself with an orange bag like the Olsen's... very cute!

I loooove orange. I feel like my friend Zang Toi was way ahead with this color....check out his orange gown towards the end of this post: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2007/09/zang-with-z/
i'm a fan of orange, though i don't have too much of it in my wardrobe!
I'm not usually a fan of orange either but found myself craving this H&M orange skirt a few weeks ago. I do like the nice pop of color it provides. Adore the orange top and teal pants combo. Great inspiration pics!
