PFMs Color Crush: Bright Orange

Pantone 2012 Color of the year - Tangerine Tango

as you know Becca and i have a love affair with color.  we often will have conversations about what colors we are crushing over at a given moment.  there's no telling what sparks a color crush... sometimes it's seeing something in fashion but most of the time, it is usually something that we pick up on right before we see it reflected in the fashion world.  for instance, last fall, i decided that i would love to have an orange bag.  ebay stalking in full effect, i was able to score a pre-owned Marc by Marc Jacobs bright orange tote for a fraction of the original cost.  it literally brightened my day.  i got so many compliments on the color of my bag that i think it brightened other people's day as well.  i have since expanded my affair with orange and i recently found out that Pantone (the "it" place when it comes to color) named the above shade of orange, tangerine tango, 2012 color of the year!   it always makes me wonder if i picked up on the color from the fashion wavelength or if i was actually inspired by something already on the fashion scene.  either way, all that matters is that my color intuition is right on the money.  (too bad that can't help me with lotto lmao!)  i am looking forward to incorporating more shades of orange into my spring and summer wardrobe!!  how about you?
