All my life I have HATED the color orange! I honestly don't think I've owned anything orange until this dress. Actually, I lie. There was this one time in 4th grade when the cool kids wore orange, so I had my mom get me a fleece orange pull over sweatshirt. #foreveradork. Lately, I am loving the color orange though! I got another orange dress at the Goodwill about a month or so ago (which I gotta get an outfit photo of soon). I even bought Larry an orange shirt the other day! So now that I have this new found love for orange, help me out... what colors go with orange other than turquoise?

  1. I love it on you! Mint would probably look good with this dress, too!

  2. This color looks great on you! A hand me down from a friend is even better, FREE!! Love that gold necklace too.

  3. orange is my favorite color to wear! i love it with navy, with cream, with browns, even with pink (if it's the right shade of orange, that is).

  6. This is such a gorgeous shade of it too! I think it would also look really good paired with some olive green. Truthfully for any season, but maybe especially if you wanted it to transition into fall this year.

  7. Orange looks great on you! It looks good with the turquoise, and I think it would look good with any shade of blue really.

  8. This is really cute! I admit I feel similarly about orange... but I bought a pretty great coat last winter that is (unexpectedly!) orange and I LOVE it. I really like orange paired with slate grey, tan and gold. Denim also looks really nice with orange. Which isn't surprising as blue and orange are contrasting colors on the color wheel. Lovely summer look. XO -Alexandra

  9. Oh man, I love this dress on you! It's such a fun color and flattering fit. I love blue and orange together best but maybe purple? Plus neutrals obviously. I think maybe pastel colors or muted colors would be a safe choice.

  12. I don't own too many orange items either but am always told I look great in that color, although I don't like it that much either. You; however, look fabulous! This is like the perfect summer outfit! Too cute!

  13. Purple! Navy! ... those are my go-to colors to pair with orange. And I don't like orange as a color much, either. I did go through an apricot/peach phase, but that's not orange. I think that necklace was made for your dress :)
