THE ORANGE CRUSH

Today, there is a reason for captioning my post ” THE ORANGE CRUSH”- 1) coz it is monochromatically orange outfit and 2) my pants are linen which are notoriously easy at creasing. Before wearing these linen trousers for the shoot, I took time to steam iron them. But all efforts went in vain when husband addressed  to the trousers being overly crushed. What could I say ??? I Just laughed it off and stood by, posing. 

Anyways, so today is the 2nd of my 3 monochromatic looks series. In case you missed, the the first look is here.  It is as challenging as it is fun to put together outfits in the same color family. One thing that I have learn’t as a fashion blogger, is to be open minded about mixing textures and patterns, as I have done today. The pleated silk blouse, the textured linen trousers and the printed scarf, fit well into the look. Initially, I had planned on wearing some orange shoes too,  just for the sake of the orange theme, but after wearing the pieces together, the shoes looked too much, too much to handle in a day look. So I ended up wearing some neutral metallic sandals. 

At last, talking about the weather, it almost feels like we skipped spring and went straight to summer.  The temperature has been soaring in the upper 80’s, leaving us hot,  both inside and outside. Since the thermostat system in our building is centralized, we have to bear with the heat until the management decides to switch on the cooling. Meanwhile, a couple of  pedestal fans have acquired  the resident status in my apartment. Not a huge help, but still doable.
 So keeping fingers crossed and hoping for an immediate relief from the scorching weather…but only inside !!!!
