There was a time when orange was too out there, too bold, not chic, reserved only for collegiate fashion. Now in the year 2012, the color of the moment is (officially called) Tangerine Tango and it's practically a fashion faux pas to go without.
If red is the color of passion, orange is its optimistic cousin. Associated with joy and celebration, it is an emotional stimulant that encourages laughter and self esteem.
Orange colors come in a scale of intensity amongst natural stones, especially in carnelian. It can go from light to intense deep orange within one stone. Such a piece would make a great compliment to a bold color block tangerine outfit.
While orange has the elements of yellow's happiness, yellow is just happy all the time! Solar Power can represent wisdom and a lust for life. It is an intellectual color, that will encourage individuality. The best stone to match almost perfectly is Citrine. A pair of large citrine drops would certainly be on trend this summer.
Large and chunky is still the style for 2012. Bib and collar necklaces are just as popular as long and layered "Jazz Age" looks. As always, in fashion, it is up to the individual to decide which trends rule. What trend has been your favorite so far?
