random loves

this shirt

I adore ruffles.

And the sky in heaven will be this color. 

Sometimes the sky around here gets close, and I know that it is the color it was destined to be.

When I was little, I thought that sapphires were this color, 

so all of my heroines in my stories had huge sapphire eyes.

I was heartbroken when I found out that they were boring old dark blue.

(wait... will there be sky in heaven?)

this sweater

I'm crazy about drapey necklines.

this coat

I love the sleeves.

these shoes

You know how I feel about ruffles.

And shoes with adorable lining just make. me. happy.

I have ones lined with leopard spots, plaid, red and white polka dots.

this coat

I'm pretty sure I would never buy an orange coat, because I would be all jumpy about what to wear it with. Which would mean I would never wear it.

Seriously, I have issues with orange. I like the color, but it's hard to combine.

orange and black--Halloween.

orange and pink--shoot me right now.

orange and red--um, shoot me again. 

Once, a stylish friend who I love wore red Converse with orange laces.

I was shocked, horrified, and we nearly had a falling-out.

(we are still friends, however)

orange and brown--can be beautiful, but also can be sorta pumpkin patch-ish.

orange and green--amazing, provided the green is the right shade. Otherwise, again, pumpkins.

How do you feel about orange? Do you have any colors you love to mix it with?
