The color, especially in shoes, this summer is orange. The brighter, the better. And platform or high heels are a must too.

Oh, dear! I have seen a lot of orange here also. I can do heels (sans platform)but don’t think I will appear wearing anything orange or tangerine. But then I tend to wear boring neutrals these days. Of course, bright colors look good on others. Confession: When I was young I had an orange and white knit pants suit.

I had an orange top, but just never wore it. It seemed adventurous in the shop, but “not me” once I got home. A lot of the shoes, no matter the color, that I wasn’t quick enough or bold enough to shoot had big bows or big stuffed fruits and such up around the toes.
