Do the Tangerine Tango

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Sarah Ward

This is our 300th blog post! Yay!

Looking for ways to do the tangerine tango this year? If you haven’t watched it yet, check out our video on 7 ways to integrate orange into your life in 2012 and check out the inspiration photos below!

One of the Olsen twins embraces tangerine tango to the max with this orange dress and shoulder detailing. <3

Embrace color blocking that incorporates tangerine tango.

J Crew

If the bright tangerine tango is too vivid for you, this patterned skirt is a more muted shade.

Make orange your accent color with this pair of shocking skinny jeans.

While you probably wouldn’t wear tangerine tango on your lips for everyday use, but why not look for a lip color with some orange in it, like this one?

What are you wearing when you dance the tangerine tango this year?

Daily Outfit: Wear Something that Scares You

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Sarah Ward

For Freckles in April‘s 10th day in the Winter Challenge, she challenged us to wear something that scares you. It took me a long time to figure out something that freaked me out in my closet but this is what I came up with:

I’m scared of wearing:

white pants for fear they’re going to get stained
the same thing two days in a row
precious pieces of jewelry
overly tailored jackets because it makes me look too corporate
high heels because of what they do to my ankles

Today I threw caution to the wind and wore all of these things.

Outfit Breakdown

Rust blazer – thrifted
Multi-strand necklace – gift from Grandma
Paisley tunic, transformed into a tube top – Nordstrom Rack (I wore this yesterday, but differently)
Nude layering tee – modbod
Braided belt – F21
Watch – fossil
Bracelet – Annie M. Jewelry
Nail polish – Deborah Lippmann @ Nordstrom
White pants – Gap
Nude heels – some shoe store I can’t recall

One thing I am not scared of is orange. It’s my favorite color and wearing it gave me courage so wear all these other things that scare me.

Fill in the blank: Wearing ________ scares me.
