This year, I'm having trouble finding anything orange. Is orange out because Halloween is near? Are we afraid to look like the Great Pumpkin? I understand that fear, but come on, I just want one somewhat orange piece!
So far I've found these:
The shawl-collar sweater in "sweet pollen".
The v-neck cardigan in "oxygen".
The twin set sweater in "rosemary green".
The wool v-neck in "regal teal".
A striped pleat skirt, not really orange.
This hideous thing has some orange in it.
My husband could wear that. Ha. ha.
Alas. After several hours of online non-shopping. I haven't found a single thing that is orange that looks decent. If I want to celebrate the color of pumpkins, candied orange slices and my favorite drink (duh...screwdrivers!) I'll have to settle for this little number (and start rooting for the Detroit Tigers):
Yuck. No Brewer's fan would be caught dead in that.
Looks like I'll be wearing a lot of black this year. I've found an abundance of clothing in that color.

I love the fall and bringing out all the fall sweaters (or getting new ones!)
I like the pleated skirt!
I bet you'll look lovely in black!
Laura, I love the sweater season, too. And burning leaves. That's the definition of autumn for me!
Dawn, I honestly think everyone assumes I go to a lot of funerals. I have a lot of black clothing!
Oooo all those clothes look fantastic. I personally am not a wear orange girl, but black I like!
When you're my size, you tend to avoid orange at all costs since I really would resemble a pumpkin.
I just found a cute orange top for my daughter though!
oh dear - 'sweet pollen' looks rather jaundicifying (um... you know what I mean...). where did all this non colour come from? grey everything around here. now, I like grey. but everything?? bleh
I like black AND orange...though not together. Can't wear much black though, thanks to my yellow lab. I end up looking like I'm the dog.
I really like the skirt too!
