This article is mainly inspired by the Orange Is the New Black article in Elle. However, I have my own special love affair with orange that my close friends know about. I just had a set of orange leather couches delivered. They match nicely with the bold painting in the background, which just so happens to feature orange as a dominant color.
Like the prison show’s title suggests, orange is definitely the “it” color at the moment. Part of the citrus colors, it makes a lasting impression and really gets people in a cheerful mood. Crushed orange seems to brighten up my day like no other. Let it brighten up yours. With plenty of fashionable items to choose from, explore how it can do wonders for your outfit or wardrobe.
