Pink and Orange, Together Again

Hello, welcome, thanks so much

 for taking a few moments to join me 

on my outfit sharing journey!

Today I am wearing a color combination

 that is relatively new to me, but I have fully embraced-

pink and orange together!

Do you wear colors together now

 that maybe you would not have even considered

in the past? 

Five years ago I would have never tried this

And why not? It is such a cheerful, happy combination

I am so glad that style evolves, and what seemed outrageous

 in previous decades is perfectly normal today 

This outfit is very classic but the color combination

 gives it a fresh and quirky twist

The shirt style blouse is orange,

 with a large bright pink chain design 

  Layering a fuchsia pink ribbed cardigan over the blouse

 On the bottom is a black button front, A-line skirt

 

 I love to wear my vintage accessories,

 and this orange purse is no exception

 It is a patent leather handle bag from the 1960s

For jewelry, I thought I would play

 on the chain motif of the blouse

  Wearing a gold tone metal chain hair band,

 a box chain bracelet, 

and drop earrings of two links of a chain

 None of these are the same,

but they are similar, and I think they go together nicely

On my feet are a much-loved pair of black suede

 block heel sling back pumps.

 I have the same shoe in a navy blue reptile print

They proved to be so comfortable, I purchased the black suede ones when they came available last year

 This entire outfit was shopped from my closet

 I have been doing a little fall shopping (looking)

 at the brick and mortar stores, but I am pretty discouraged

 by what I see. Brown, brown and more shades of brown with a few other very dark shades mixed in like Bordeaux and eggplant

I hope later in the season more of the other colors

 that are predicted to be trending this season

 will be in evidence

 Although it will be a few months until Pantone

 comes out with it's color of the year for 2027,

I will definitely be wearing Cloud Dancer through the winter

I like it for its ability to lighten up

 those dark winter colors

 Other predictors such as WGSN and COLORO

 have picked a beautiful luminous cobalt blue

to lead their color line up,

with russet, lilac, bright yellow and deep green

 as the other chosen hues

Can't wait for that beautiful blue

 to make it's way into the stores!

Of course the undisputed color of October is orange!

Hope everyone is enjoying a lovely fall season
