These orange fashions are especially for Charles because he’s all about orange these days.

I wouldn’t wear any of those fashions, (first link) not because they’re orange but because most would be ugly in any color. Actually the third dress from the left in the first picture isn’t so bad; I just don’t like wearing slim skirts. And I’m not sure about the brown belt. I’d like to see it with white. The von Furstenberg ‘Terrazzo’ dress is nice. I might wear that one if it was a little longer and there was a little less of me, but I’m not a big fan of wrap dresses either.

Looking at all this orange stuff has me craving something orange. The only thing I have that’s orange is a skirt that’s bright orange with white flowers. The only top I have that really goes with it is white, although I have a green top that I’ve been tempted to try with it. And I have a couple of tops that have some orange in the print and one sloppy rust-orange tank top that’s not fit to be seen in public. So I’ve been really really wanting something orange but there’s no orange in the stash and I feel that I cannot buy more fabric until I work down the stash a bit and also get rid of some more stuff. Maybe I’ll just go paint my nails orange and be satisfied with that for a while.

UPDATE: To clarify, I like the look of wrap dresses just fine but, being the modest type, I prefer the security of buttons.
