I was doing a recent Internet search on a phrase I was going to use for the title of an upcoming post about an orange dress I was going to make. I often doing searches of ideas that I think are off the wall, but am constantly amazed how at least one person has had the same wild idea.
So I was astounded to see that Orange Porange was on the Internet. Apparently, women have been putting together this combination of orange and purple for some time (look at Princess Di here) and I didn't realize there was actually a name for it! Of course Princess Di looked good--even if she wore a paper bag.
I could so see women our age also rocking this color combo. I'll keep this in mind when I make my orange dress. Maybe I'll add a purple pin...I'll have to think about this!
Have any of you worn a purple/orange combination? Do you remember Princess Di wearing this outfit?

To see the purple part, you have to see INSIDE the purse.
I don't remmember Princess Diana wearng this outfit, but she always dressd nice. I luv those earingss!
ReplyDeleteHi, Dee, I love those earrings too. I don't remember Di ever wearing this outfit either, but she was definitely a fashion icon, wasn't she?
DeleteI followed what Di wore pretty closely and I remember this orange/purple outfit. She was a striking woman. I don't look well enough in orange myself, but I wear this dark shade of purple in a blouse.
ReplyDeleteI love the purple - orange connection! On the color wheel, red is the color they have in common. If you put the right hues together, it really is a striking combination. Love to see what you do with that, Carol!
