Happy Hour: Pantone Meet Negroni
Feb 10, 2012
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the Pantone Color of the Year is Tangerine. The shade is bold and bright and perfect for curing those end-of-the-week blahs. And even if it’s not yet spring, there’s no reason that you can’t wear this peppy shade now.
3.1 Phillip Lim Silk-Stretch Sweaterdress (Net-a-Porter, $195)
This bright dress is a fun addition to any wardrobe. A word of caution, however, it is super short. So tights, leggings or skinny jeans are strongly encouraged.
Shake well with cracked ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a twist of orange peel.
Another drink that you can make with Campari that is both simple and refreshing is the Campari Soda. Pour 3 ounces Campari into an ice-filled Collins glass and top off with soda; garnish with slice of lemon or orange. In Italy, you can buy these premixed in little bottles.
I love this orange trend, but the color looks TERRIBLE on me. Any ideas for how to work it into a wardrobe?
I will never understand people who like negroni (much less negroni sbagliati – ugh!), but the orange dress I can get behind!
Meredith, what about tangerine heels, belt, clutch – accessories that you wear away from your face? Not all at once, of course 🙂 Orange isn't my best color either, but I think a navy dress with a skinny patent tangerine belt, or jeans and a button-down with a tangerine tote, could be just the ticket.
