Orange: The Color of October

Hello and welcome-thanks for stopping by my blog!

Orange is surely THE color of October, 

with the brilliantly changing colors of the leaves 🍁 on the trees

and the Halloween holiday, making pumpkins the decor of choice 🎃! 

This post is going to feature some outfits using the color orange 

that are already in my closet,

remixed in different ways from previous wearings

How do your feel about wearing orange?

It is such a happy and uplifting color!

Is there much in your closet,

 or are you planning to purchase any shades of orange this season?

Orange certainly has been a big color trend over the past few years

Although I don't have a lot of orange clothing in my closet,

 I do have quite a few accessories in this color 

 Adding orange is a great way to put a pop of color in an outfit

My first look features a print mix

with a vintage 1970's wrap dress in a geometric print

of brown, orange and white

I am wearing it with a printed accessory piece, also vintage from the 1970's

It is a sash with an astrological sign print

in a combination of the very same three colors in the dress-

 orange, with brown and white!

  

Layering a white top under the dress, which has a very deep V neck

Carrying a camel tan faux woven box clutch

Here is a better photo of the unusual and detailed print on the sash

I chose vintage 3-D flower petal earrings in orange enamel,

A DIY  distressed bronze tone rhinestone encrusted leaf 🍂 necklace

and an animal print bangle to complement the look

Finishing this outfit in autumnal colors with two tone block heel Mary Jane slides

My second outfit this week features a bright red-orange, long V-neck cardigan

that seemed perfect for this month!

Worn casually with a white crew neck top and dark wash flare leg denim jeans 

The extras with this outfit are what makes it special

I dressed it up with a lively multi colored beaded headband

I really like the bright thick and thin stripe design of it

Carrying a small cognac color tulip design tote bag in two textiles-

vegan leather and faux suede 

For jewelry, I chose a vintage 1960's brooch in a modern stylized 3-D flower motif 

in red, orange and yellow to pin on the sweater

Other jewelry pieces include a burnished yellow and rose gold wrap bracelet

 and small hoop earrings 

The scarf is also vintage, and is such a treasure 

I am picturing it flat because tied around my neck 

you cannot appreciate the wonderful graphic design of the horn instruments!

It is a bright, high contrast color combo of red-orange and white  

Cognac braided block heel slides to finish this upbeat look

Orange frosted cookies for an orange colored month!

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
