Orange you glad to see me?

Though I love the color orange as it conjures up images of bright, sweet smelling nectarines, orange is not a color that goes well with my slightly yellowish complexion. So what’s a girl to do? Wear orange on the feet of course – it’s far away from my face and I can wear other colored clothing to neutralize the effects it has on my skin tone.

My favorite orange shoes for the spring include the aptly named Daniblack ‘Greet’ sandal. It’s barely there heel will hopefully provide some level of arch support. I can picture myself wearing these to the beach or strolling down the boardwalk in capris.

This ombre sole coupled with the dark orange ornamental decoration are simply jewelry for the feet. It looks rich enough to be worn by someone living in the Hamptons, but it’s doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The Nine West Rolling sandal is currently selling for $70 AND Endless is having a promotion for $20 off $80 if you can find another Nine West pair of shoes you like.

Ecco has always been a reliable brand for comfortable shoes.  I haven’t always been impressed with the colors since they stick with the basics a lot, so the Ecco Clear Water sandal is a nice departure with a great injection of color.     The insole happens to be cushioned so you can bet they are going to be a nice pillow for your feet.  Currently they are on sale for $120 -$25 (save $25 off select $100 purchases) = $95.

Lastly, while I’m not brave enough to wear these orange Enzo Angiolini Maylie ($93), I can certainly admire that they pack a strong punch of color to your outfit.   And if you are like me and admire the style but can’t wear the color, 6pm has the same shoe in brown, black, and red for $46.
