well well, looks like someone has recently discovered the color orange and that someone is me! right on the heels of two very neutral outfits, i decided to change it up a bit and play with some color. i never really wore orange before i got this sweater, and now it’s opening up a whole world of possibilities. isn’t orange notoriously difficult to wear? meh, the more i play with color, the more i realize that it’s the tans and taupes and olive greens that are scary. at least for me. for instance, there’s this particular shade of sage green that makes me look like death. but orange, well…

so basically, i love it. i lurve it. i luff it. and now it’s time for me to give credit where credit is due: i’ve seen a few lovely ladies on the web sporting the belted scarf lately (blue collar catwalk and between laundry days), and i finally decided to give it a try after seeing jessica of what i wore in a belted wrap sweater. i guess you could say that i’m just really into putting a skinny belt on anything and everything. it does wonders for someone with a short waist and large bust like myself. ok, now i’m starting to sound like trinny and susannah or something.
p.s. i went overboard with the pictures today. sometimes i can’t help myself.

Gorgeous scarf! I love how you matched your top perfectly to it.

I really love the scarf belted over the outfit look. I have done it a few types and just love how different it looks. This scarf is delicious!
I love this look! & I love the colors, orange is so bright & cheerful. :)
I might borrow the belted-scarf idea. You pull it off wonderfully, and that color palate looks great with your skin.

i think you use belts in the best and most creative ways.
Belting scarves is my not-so-guilty please. I haven't done it in a while… okay, tomorrow's outfit, much? You've inspired me.

you look great in orange (i especially love the rust sweater). love how you wore your scarf as a shirt. and those jeans fit you perfectly. :)
Lovely outfit; you wear orange so well! I myself tend to stray away from bright colors (I love the olives), but the autumn-y rich versions are really appealing to the eye. I want to try that belted scarf thing now too, haha!
Love it! you are so brilliant with styling! ;o)
i use to love that joke as a kid…nice

Love how you drap the scarf and pair with the belt! The details of the scarf is just amazing!

i love the colors in your scarf! soooo vibrant! everything in nature looks so dead right now because all of the snow melted … you have to look somewhere for life, and i'd look to your scarf!
love the color palette!
nice change from the norm :)++
Oh, you were so savvy to thrift that scarf! It's lovely lovely. You're always able to be so crafty and creative with skinny jeans. You look amazing in orange :)
