My torrid romance with orange began a few months ago. In that moment I saw that Jil Sander white top +floor-sweeping-orange-skirt I knew it was love at first sight. sigh...
Soon orange was everywhere, on the runway, on magazines, on blogs, on the streets... and as before I knew it, it was slowly infiltrating my own wardrobe. A satin blouse here, and mini skirt there, a bright, bright orange summer scarf (is there such a thing as a summer scarf?), a poppy orange nail polish...
Then the F/W collections came... and orange was still all around, but now instead of the pretty pink and kermit green, it was surrounded with a gorgeous set of jewel tones. I knew it'd be a long-lasting affair.
But still, there is one little problem. As much as I like orange, I can't come to wear it with black. I like orange and black together. I see someone wearing such combination down the street and I like it! But every single time I've tried pairing an orange + black ensemble one thought comes to mind and I can't seem to shake it off: HALLOWEEN!
How to manage wearing black and orange without looking live a halloween over-enthusiast, like one of those old ladies who decorate their homes with Halloween motifs two months in advanced?
After all, orange and black are to Halloween what red and green are to Christmas, aren't they?
Is it just silly old me with this Halloween ideas?
As the stubborn person I am I have decided to finally wear black + orange
and forget about the Halloween nonsense.
We'll se how it goes.
Does anyone like wearing orange and black together? If so, how do you wear them together?
Do tell!
Love, em.
