Orange You Glad It's Fall....

I confess, I "L-O-V-E" orange!  

It all started when my oldest child went to Auburn University!

I have never been one to wear my favorite team's logos, but I will wear the team colors!  The first year Walker was at Auburn, about 7 years ago, I got orange shoes....

That led to orange scarf, orange pocketbook, orange earrings....

Bit by bit, I had all kinds of orange to wear and discovered, when I wore something orange it made me happy, so orange because my favorite color.  Orange is daring and brings a sense of energy to whatever you pair it with.  It is also a warm color so it adds a spicy dash to otherwise boring color combinations.  Since I have always been one to branch out and create my own style rather than go with the crowd, this worked out well for me.  It also worked out well with our family.  Walker was at Auburn and my father-in-law, Fred grew up in Chicago, so the whole family is also Bears and Cubbie fans, yep, you got it...Blue and Orange!  There will be more about that in a later blog...Let's get back to "my orange".....

It use to be that you only saw orange the months of October and November,but orange has made it way onto the fashion scene.  It is no longer for pumpkins, gourds and Thanksgiving tablecloths, it is also showing up in fashion and decor more and more... 

Orange is a hip color that is being used everywhere!

Oh well, i am not so unique anymore...but i still love orange, do you?  i've decided it's ok to share my orange obsession so here are some orange things i think are fab....
