WIW - Fast Fallback in Fall Colors

Believe it or not, the tee and cardi are actually recent -- I got them 3 weeks ago, so this color of orange must be intended for Spring.   I was attracted to this color because I recently purchased this jacket from Zara.  http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....JAPANESE+P Whose colors then began a chain reaction, as suddenly I needed another 3 items (this cardi and two tops) to work these items into my wardrobe. :)

The jeans are the recent True Religions that you can see look a bit lighter on a bright day.
Cardi -- Free People (eek, I have three in this same style)
Tee -- Zara
Booties -- Rag & Bone
Caramel belt -- Madewell *highly recommend*
Leather bracelets:  Linea Pelle (studs), Billy Kirk
Watch:  Michael Kors
Sharktooth Pendant -- A Peace Treaty

Nothing special here but a true COTG outfit (CocoLion On The Go).

    Love the fall colors!  Orange is great on you, and love the grey jeans.  Great boots too, all so fab!
  • pil replied 10 years ago
    This color is really nice on you, it will be fun to see the Zara jacket on you. Those boots are gorgeous.

    Love this COTG look.  The devil truly is in the details.

    I bought a tank top in orange too, wore mine with white linen pants - it's still warm here.

    ps - the light in your photos is beautiful.

    Thanks Raisin, pil and Caro!  Good to know this color works.  It makes me feel happy.  Hopefully by September I will still want to wear these pieces, as the time when cardis and jackets can be worn is fast ending.

    Caro, I live in California and we have amazing light, year round, as long as you can tolerate 90+ degree heat in the summer.  Since I also live in the countryside the air is also clean!

    So I made an appointment to talk about coloring my hair (and get a cut).  But whenever I look at a picture of my hair in bright light, I think, why fix it?

    Love this colour of orange on you!
  • rachylou replied 10 years ago
    I can't remember seeing you in a deep bright color like this. It's spectacular!
  • Mo replied 10 years ago
    It's fab.  At first glance I saw red and wanted to know immediately where you'd gotten it.  But I see the orange tone more in the second pic.  Your hair is perfect for you as is, IMO.  Lovely.

    This FFBO is a Denise-uniform that she wears with sass and the best mischievous glint in her eye.

    I had to ask what MAJ meant :)

    Love it! We have a lot of orange and yellow right now, too. I guess citrus is in for spring. Orange with black is one of my favorite combos, and the tonal cardi looks fab!
  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago
    I've been dealing with 100F all summer here so California sounds well within my range:)

    It's much cooler morning & evening now - beautiful autumn weather. I'm so happy to be able to wear jeans again.

    marvellous! With these colours and movement from the drape I am thinking you are well on the way to a "Walk the Line"outfit.
  • Suz replied 10 years ago
    You look great, Denise! Love the new jeans and the top has such a terrific drape. I love your FFBO. 
  • Jaime replied 10 years ago
    Gorgeous color on you and I love how it drapes over the belt. COTG winner!
  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago
    Love the color and the easy silhouette -- and you are a master of the faux tuck.
  • Deborah replied 10 years ago
    Denise these colours are really quite stunning on you.  Fab for Spring and would carry nicely through Autumn too perhaps. Love those booties.
  • MsMary replied 10 years ago
    I love this!  Must try my orange top with my new gray jeans!
  • annaj replied 10 years ago
    Love that shade of orange!!
  • Marley replied 10 years ago
    Very cool Denise!  I'm not a fan of the color orange in big blocks, but this looks really great - and so flattering on you!  (Maybe I'm not a fan of orange, because it looks awful on me!) Are the TRs gray?  I love them!
  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago
    Thanks for all of the orange love YLF!

    LOL Angie.  I am hooked on the Rachel Zoe project at the moment, and she has all of these great Rachel-isms like "MAJ" and "Babe" (her husband) and "Sky-Sky" (her son).  I like Rachel because she is not mean and we get to learn about the design process this year.  And I like her relationship/partnership with husband Roger.  Does anyone else tune in?

    Also I'm tuning into Game of Thrones!
  • Scarlet replied 10 years ago
    Love the orange! I also love the way coco on the go sounds :) you look fab as usual.
  • Ingunn replied 10 years ago
    Great colors and a very COTG silhouette. You always manage to look so comfortable in your outfits, Denise! 
  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago
    Love that orange color on you Denise although I'm finding it hard to concentrate on your outfit. I'm mesmerized by the green grass! We won't see grass for another month yet.
  • Aida replied 10 years ago
    Perfect easy-going outfit Denise, I love this rusty bright orange on you (it's one of my favorite shades, too). Can't wait to see that fabulous Zara jacket in action.
