Orange.
It's not a color that's high on my list. I enjoy eating oranges, but ultimately the color is just atrocious, and most people can't even pull off wearing it. Only very few skin tones are privileged (cursed?) enough.
Orange has always reminded me of all things drab and icky. Must I even say puke? And other various things that I just would prefer to not mention.
However, today I did find a medium in which I can tolerate orange, and that would be lipstick.
Unlike the ruby red lips, which I love to sport when I want to feel sophisticated and daring, orange lips are casual and playful. They are summer and fresh, and they will be my companion for the next few months until the weather turns cold and pale.
