Fashion Friday ~ The Color of Summer: Tangerine

Friday, April 13, 2012
Bright, bold colors will be all the rage this summer, and you won't find a hotter color than tangerine.

This week, I am linking up with Fashion Friday and some of my favorite ladies including Whitney from Mommies With Style. Be sure to check out Whitney's Fashion Friday post this week where you could win a $100 Kohl's gift card.

But be careful. A little color goes a long way. So, while I certainly wouldn't advocate mixing all of these items into one look, you can stay on trend by adding a burst of tangerine to your look by incorporating one of these items into your complete outfit.

Lots of color. This dress from Old Navy will give you great overall color. Pair it with either neutral wedges or sandals and a bag in a similar hue, and you'll be good to go. Dress #30 www.oldnavy.com

If a dress is too much color for you, stick to either a pair of shorts or a top. I love these chino shorts from J. Crew. They would be perfect paired with a striped boat neck top. $45 www.jcrew.com
I have no problem splurging on a bag, and this one is perfect for summer. It's roomy and you can fit everything you need for a day in the city, country, or the beach in it. Michael Kors Hamilton Large North South Tote $348. www.michaelkors.com

If you suffer from chromophobia (fear of colors), stick to simple accessories that add a dash of color without being overwhelming.

These sandals, belt, and bracelet are the perfect choices for accents that are bold but not overbearing.
Sandals, Nine West, "wewantit" $79   www.ninewest.com

Belt, Michael Kors, $35   www.zappos.com

Bracelet, Wide Orange Boho Style Flower Bangle, $39 www.fantastyjewelrybox.com

And don't forget your makeup. Your face will be the one that stands out in the crowd when you add this pop of color to your lips.
