My Orange Crush









It’s juicy, it’s vibrant. I wanna surround myself with it. Oh wait, I already did! Mopar orange is an all time favorite color of mine, and I just caught wind that it is a current theme color among the local fashion blogger set. Since I missed out on the polka dot theme last week (damn!), I wanted to jump in on this one. I love orange with complimentary blue as I have used in my home décor extensively, but I think it pairs well with most colors. Maybe I'm lucky because I am frequently told orange flatters my skin tone of light olive Hispanic coloring. But even if it doesn't flatter me, I'd still wear it and it is beautiful on my living room walls!

    Sacramento!! Your support means the world to me!! Orange is the yummiest color, I'm glad you agree!! When we painted our living room 7 years ago we matched the color to the stock dodge color, mopar orange. And it looks great with everything, I love it more everyday!

    smashingbird! I know, right! Oddly enough, our local fashion bloggers have deemed it a near impossible color to wear! Scratching my head over that one! Thanks for stopping by!

    I truly love the color orange, but have none presently in my wardrobe. For me it is a bright, brainy color of independence. Beyond any gender, it just is.
    And you look lovely in all your finery, make juicy out of orange. PS: Wanna joy-ride in that muscle car! -Bella Q

    Thanks Bella! I would love to see orange on you! It would be really pretty! Something that will look good with the jean jacket I want to give you that is hidden under a mountain of clothes!! Another squawk and swap is in order!! And yea, that car makes me drool (don't tell the Marlin I said that)!

    Hi, first time reading and commenting on your blog. I'm a new follower as well!!
    You have a briliant and sunny style!!
    I love orange as a color and as a fruit!
    The color orange is a combination of the energy of red and the happiness of yellow!
