Orange is the New Neutral


Erin Fetherston Blouse.  ASOS Skirt.  J.Crew Necklace and Clutch (similar tote style).  Steve Madden Pumps.


Orange is the new neutral for 2012, did you hear? This cheerful, energetic hue also happens to be my all-time favorite right up there next to cheetah and leopard prints (of course).

Not many people can pull off a peplum skirt like you do. I am sooo excited that orange is the new "it" colour for spring --- leopard is one of my favourite prints to pair with it! Looks fabulous!

Alicia you are looking like a million dollars in this outfit. I love the blouse you are wearing and how you have been able to style it with different items in your closet. Also I LOVE orange. I've been a huge fan because I think various shades look good on EVERYONE and its a really unexpected color to wear!

Oh yes, LOVE this skirt on you (I can't believe it's ASOS - those complicated origami folds are spectacular!). Also, you're looking very 'Emma Stone in Lanvin' in this look ;)

Alyssa {Second Floor Living} said...

I've never been a huge fan of orange, at least on myself, but with pantone naming tangerine the color of 2012 I might have to reconsider. I fall in love with their color every year. Love the skirt, by the way!

BrooklynBlonde said...

How much do I love this? A LOT! And i'm so jealous you're able to sport these sorts of things. I'm lucky if I could take my coat off for 2 minutes to catch a "coat off" outfit pic.
