A Little Citrus


Everyone loves to hate on the color orange (to be fair, it isn't exactly the most flattering shade), but it looks so good against a clean black and white palette. Plus, Hermès couldn't have chosen this iconic hue for nothing — it's bright, cheerful, and makes me think of nice, sparkling mimosa.

oddly, orange is my bestie's favorite color. I usually just can't comprehend it, but I do really like this dress.
But I think I want that little doggie more than the dress

Funny thing, I actually look good in orange. No lie. I don't like it really, but for some reason, it likes me (I do like an orange bikini though)

I am so ready for a bright orange dress ! I'm sick of black jackets, black tights, black everything!

Oooh that dress and pug <3 I love orange because it's warm and brightens things up. I don't have much orange in my closet but I'd like to use it as a pop of color every now and then. Right now I'm on the hunt for an orange/coral statement necklace..

I LOVE orange. I just can't wear it with anything black because I think it looks like Halloween. With denim or white or anything else? So fun!
Best,
Tina

Ah, I am so glad you know about the King of Prussia Mall. Whenever I travel people typically respond with, "you live where?" haha.

I love orange. My favorite college sports teams are orange. This dress is the perfect shade, it's a deep manderine, love it.

I think orange has a bad rep, but the perfect shade of orange is really redeeming. I have throws and pillows in orange and I love it, but I'm not one for wearing the shade. This dress is lovely though!

I love orange! Possibly because I have quite an olive complexion and can get away with it...
