The color orange occurs between red and yellow in the visible spectrum. Now it can be seen all over the fashion runways as it is the "it" color for Spring/Summer. Even the business-centric Wall Street Journal ran an article a few weeks ago about the color orange now having its moment.
It seems to me that orange elicits a strong "love it" or "hate it" reaction, much like cilantro (hate it BTW). But with so many shades and hues out for the spring, it should be a cinch to find something you like.
I noticed this weekend, that Nordstroms had an entire display of orange handbags, including a fabulous Marc Jacobs. Resisting the urge to purchase, I remembered that I myself already have a fabulous orange DVF procured on a trip to Vegas a couple years ago. Ahhh, ahead of my time.
If you have an orange crush but not sure where to start, I suggest sticking with accessories, like a light cashmere scarf or a fun earrings. Something that quietly suggests that you you are embracing the color of the season and, more importantly, that you read the WSJ too.

I happen to be a lover of orange (and cilantro BTW)! I agree that it is best as an accessory (like my new wallet), however, I have been known to wear an orange top or a monochromatic orange skirt and sweater! I love it. It is the new red! Love Liz
