Shades of Orange!

So orange is big this season. Orange is tough, I think we all have a love-hate relationship with orange. Actually, honestly, I think most people have a hate relationship with orange. I, however, went to Clemson University where our school color is extremely orange (and purple...I know), not the really nice orange of Texas or Tennessee*, but orange.
So fun! Markus Lupfer via Net-a-Porter.com
Because of Game Days I had to learn to incorporate various shades of orange into my wardrobe; so I've had to learn which tones of orange actually work for me. It can really be a great color, worn the right way it can be a fabulous statement.

For several years I had this fantastic orange travel wallet that I used as an everyday wallet-and even a clutch-and I have never, ever had so many compliments on one accessory. I've already marked several orange pieces as obsessions this season. (And I literally still use Game Days at Clemson as an excuse to buy anything orange-i.e. orange cocktail dress)

*Editor's note, I could be ousted from the alumni association for mentioning these other shades of orange*
