Orange Crush

by Jen on Monday, March 4, 2013

As we've been making the transition into Springtime, it's been fun pulling out and refreshing older pieces using new ones that were acquired since last year. I'd previously been having trouble finding the right things to pair this very boldly hued Prada top with, but the addition of a remarkably neutral cheetah print jacket (last seen here in a very different outfit) into my closet seems to have breathed new life into it. I'd love to know - how would you wear this blouse?
Wearing: BCBGMAXAZRIA jacket, Prada blouse (found at a consignment shop), Club Monaco skirt, Vince Camuto bag (c/o), Zara shoes, Banana Republic necklace (old)

Orange is an excellent color on you! I've been really into jeans lately, so I most likely wouldn't gone down the casual route with this blouse but I love the cute twist you had on your outfit! :)

I think it looks fabulous just as you have it. Although it does look like a great piece to go with many different things!

One of the ways I'd style it would be a black pleated skirt with gray tweed-like jacket and then there's always pairing it with denim and a blazer. :)

Love the orange & brown you had styled together though. It's a frequent color combo for me, too. :)

I do love the entire ensemble. It looks like you paired it with amazing pieces and the colours suit you so well! With the way you have paired it, it seems so perfect I cannot think of any other way to dress it. However, I may have styled it using an all-black ensemble and then used the orange top for that pop of colour.

Ps: love the hair too!

That jacket is such a great piece! I can see it pulling together a million different outfits & I love the way it fits you! As for other pairings for the orange top... I think it would work with white/ivory and/or cobalt? Hope you have a great week, love!

The sort of pleated look the blouse has is great. Hmm, I'd pair it with my navy blue jacket, very much a military inspired piece with gold detailing, tuck the blouse into high wasted jeans and for shoes nude lace-up flats. The shirt would be my pop of color and femininity. =)

that orange blouse is just amazing! i love how you paired it with leopard, I would try it with a cobalt blue piece :)

I love the dark green mixed in there for a surprise color! Very chic without being pumkin-y. Nicely done :D

Great vintage find, Jen! I love the way the neutral brown tones complement and tone down the orange. I think wearing this top with your cobalt pants would make for a really fun, colour blocked look.
