Orange is the New Black

Orange is a popular color this season. It can be a hard color to wear though. You can't really wear it subtly. It's orange. It's going to pop!  For me, the challenge is wearing without black or white (the easy route) as it's very Halloween chic (if there is such a thing). 

Today's look is one color away from being a candy corn.

However, orange is a very flattering color for me. My skin loves it. So much so, I ignored my "no thrift store Target" rule when I spotted (tee hee) this orange and yellow polka dot dream at Savers. I had to have it even though it was probably the same price at Tarjay. Plus, there are pockets and an elastic waist too. This is my favorite kind of dress when I want to be casually stylish.

I went with a color pairing of yellow and gold. A yellow necklace to match the polka dots in the dress. Then I tried electric blue sandals on my feet. Nope. I thought leopard print flats were my next move but I found the gold sandals first. 

I thrifted them last year and forgot about them. I also forgot that they are a half size too small. They are teetering on the very edge of toes meeting concrete. Not a good look. Therefore, all toe shots have been removed.

Btw, I am a new fan of Orange is the New Black on Netflix. I watched all of Season 1 in 3 days and I'm now listening to the Audible memoir while I wait for Season 2 to start.

In the book, Piper's friend sends her a newspaper clipping featuring women wearing orange. Her friend included a message saying all of New York wearing Orange (prison jumpsuit) in solidarity while Piper was behind bars. 

I wear it because it's a great color but I cannot wait for more Orange is the New Black!
