I love it that orange is making a comeback this season.
I bought three new tops today, and at least two should come with a volume control.
The brighter the better, come winter, I say.
I've always loved orange.
As a little girl I had orange curtains in my room (although they were not of my choosing) and the material made swooshy noises when you rubbed it between your fingers. It was most glamorous.
My first car was orange, a 1979 Escort, and I rue the day I sold it to an ungrateful acquaintance who quickly traded it in. He didn't love it nearly enough.
My favourite lipstick was orange, and tasted and smelled as good as it looked.
It was a Nutrimetics product, now long gone. Jasmine, I think it was called.
My favourite scarf is orange, a hippy thing with some tie-dyed pink and yellow was well.
And my new tops, well, of course they, along with my new tribal earrings in guess what colour, are already faves.
Sorry, colleagues and acquaintances, if it burns your retinas.
I need a little (alright, a lot) of colour in my life.
I love, love, love orange too! My wardrobe is full of the stuff. Still, when I walked into Country Road last week, I got all giddy. There were so many divine orange clothes. On holidays, I bought 3 orange t-shirts. Who needs 3 orange t-shirts (when they already have 2)? Me!
ReplyDeleteOh excellent! and you look gorgeous in that colour. I wrote this piece for Weekender today, for the over-rated and under-rated section in Word of Mouth. This was the under-rated. "It’s making a renaissance this season, but there’ll still be sceptics about the colour orange. It’s bold, vibrant and most definitely autumn. It says: I know winter’s coming, but I will not hide under her inky cloak. It’s pumpkin soup, baked carrots and Hare Krishna. It’s the fruit of junior sport. Now that’s warming." (kind and clever subeditor Gina Cranson added inky cloak, you've gotta love a good sub, how a blogger could use one!)
