The month of mayhem… the month of endless events + parties + gatherings + graduations is in full swing. I’m not sure I’m thriving, but I sure am surviving and we will call that a win in of itself = moms out there, I know you feel me on that, right?!?! But with all the hustle + bustle, you know I couldn’t forget to whip up my favorite monthly blog post focused on everything colorful… you know what time it is: COLOR CRUSH time!
Inspired by everything monochromatic and bursting with a splash of citrus orange, this month’s show and tell is dedicated to everything OPULENT ORANGE. It’s simply impossible to ignore because of its pop of fun, no matter if you’re styling up a sundress, incorporating it into your home decor + design or if you’re wanting to take it for a spin with some winning accessories as well.
This color crush brings all the fierce confidence and wild hot energy you need for settling into summer… consider this your sign to learn to lean into orange just as much as I do! This is the best case scenario of dopamine dressing done right… 🍊🍊🍊 And also because it’s NEVER too early for us VOLS fans to think about football time in Tennessee ensemble options. 😉
First things first, if you haven’t shopped my Summer Spritz Collection from Shop Avara, it’s high time to do just that. Packed with energizing essentials to style from day to night, you know I had to design some bold orange options for us color-loving ladies…
Case in point, this Striped Midi Dress [wearing XS/runs TTS] has been a best selling silhouette for so many seasons, but I wanted to make sure to make it memorable for summer 2026 with a color palette you couldn’t ignore… it’s easy to throw on for everyday, makes a stellar travel option with its lightweight fabrication and the silhouette is easy breezy so you’ll stay comfy + cute all season long. And of course that opulent orange highlight of color is ready for your next spritz [or two].
Moving right along to my personal pick, the Orange Peplum Puff Sleeve Top [wearing XS/runs TTS]… it’s feisty and fun, but still statement worthy for summer all on its own when paired with classic white denim! Plus it doubles as a stellar seasonal top that gores from work to play with a simple change in accessories and shoes = making it a winner you’ll reach for time and time again. A total citrus color crush in one showstopper shirt silhouette…
Finally, let’s round up some immediate finds to make this color crush moment last longer than the month of May! These Pilcro Ruffled Wide Leg Jeans caught my attention the moment I saw them online… the lightweight fabrication, versatile fit and feminine details make them something I can see wearing time and time again. Another essential I’m loving we all adore? These Free People Good Luck Barrel Overalls in a fiery orange color palette… hello LOVER! As we all have weddings, events and summer soirees on the horizon, it’s worth showing off these two dreamy dresses as well: the Scoop Neck Corset Maxi Dress would be GORGEOUS for an evening occasion, while the Short Floral Lace Mini would be ideal for a casual brunch, ladies luncheon or cocktail cuteness, too. And let’s not forget the accessories: a Striped Bucket Hat, Raffia Fringe Tote, or Neon Gem Earrings make it easy to incorporate a bright accent ofcolor without breaking the bank!
