Louboutin nude simple 100 pumps, Talbots necklace worn as bracelet, Revlon “Vixen” polish
As stores are currently saturated with burgundy, I’ve been enjoying other autumn color favorites in my existing wardrobe. This time of the year, I love wearing rustic orange –or pumpkin- almost as much as others love their pumpkin spice lattes. The color reminds me of fall foliage at its peak…which is sadly very short-lived.
Orange is a color I don’t see on many women (probably have Elle Woods to blame), but can be fairly easy to pair. Just stick with shades that are less stark (like Halloween orange + black) and color combinations that appear naturally. Safe pairings include hunter green, brown / neutrals, or a soft ivory. Referencing my trusty color wheel, neighboring colors like red or yellow can create bold yet harmonious combinations that are still reminiscent of nature, like turning leaves.
Over the years, I’ve also loved wearing this jacket with prints, whether it’s basic black & white, a retro-inspired shift, or an earthy houndstooth skirt. 
Apologies for the progressively grainier and darker photos – as the days are getting shorter, good lighting before or after work is hard to come by!
Readers – Have you been embracing orange for fall? If so, how do you style it?

Hi Jean! This outfit is stunning. I am a sucker for shirts with ties. So girly. I can see it paired under a sweater vest with skinny jeans & boots for a weekend look. And I LOVE your pumpkin swing coat. Great color. I am one of the very few who can pull off shades of orange & it looks like you nailed it too.Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Jean,
I follow you on YT, Twitter, and Instagram.
Love the outfit! Great color combination.

I definitely re-wear outfits all the time but I try not to do it within the same week. But if you decide to wear an item the same week maybe you can mix it up. For example a blouse for work can be worn one day with a blazer and a few days later just layer it under a sweater! As for winter clothes care, a lot of sweaters are dry clean only so I like to get a few wears out of them and even then I'll just throw it in the dryer with a few Bounty cloths and it makes it smell fresh all over again! Hope that helps!!
Good idea!!! Will have to try this, thanks for sharing!
GOSHH you're SO freaking pretty! lol
awesome outfit and I really like the skirt 🙂

It's great to see bloggers reuse items in different ways over time, but I was curious about your opinions on re-wearing the same item(s) within the same week. Obviously, for sanitation reasons, underwear is changed every day, but especially during colder months when I don't perspire as much, I like to get a few more uses out of clothing items before I throw them in the wash. For one, it is more environmentally friendly, but sometimes (okay, most of the time) I just don't have the time and energy to come up with a completely new outfit everyday. At what point is it weird to keep wearing the same item(s) on repeat during the week? Does anyone else even notice? I find I don't really notice or care about what or how often other people wear things, so maybe no one really notices or cares about how often I reuse things within in the same week? Any thoughts? Other reader opinions would be appreciated, too! 🙂 I'd be curious to see a week's series of outfits and what items you use repeatedly during the week. Thanks!
hi Jean, can this out fit be paired with black or camel bag?
I personally love the grainy, vintage-y photos! And your hair is awesome!!!! How'd you do it? Bump? And love the orange ensemble without looking Halloween-y.
You look stunning as always Jean!!! You always manage to put a great outfit together!!
Incredible ensemble! Flawless!
You are so right about the color orange but I have to admit… I am HUGE burgundy fan, too! Hee Hee
LOVE this outfit! That skirt is amazing!

What a gorgeous orange jacket. I love it paired with the green lace skirt. You always look so classy and chic. And that bracelet is stunning!

I love the dark photos, even before I saw your comment at the bottom of the post. They have a vintage feel.
Great outfit, Jean! And your hair is perfectly poofed! 🙂 I love your nail color–would you happen to remember the name of it? Thanks!
Love your hair here! Please do a post or video of how you make it look so good 🙂
Any tips on how to tie such a nice ponytail, Jean?
Long-time lurker here, but I was going to comment on how I was enjoying the darker/grainier photos. 🙂
Orange is my favorite color 🙂 I tend to pair fall orange with navy most often.

the blush and orange pair so beautifully together!
Love this pairing Jean! And the lighting gives it such a romantic vintage vibe! Beautiful!
I love the autumnal shades that you have used. Perfect colour combinations!
I absolutely love orange for the fall as well. I like pairing orange with burgundy and browns. Recently, I've been obsessing about pairing it with oxblood colored blouses or shirts and dark colored pants and gold-tone accessories. Take care and thanks for another wonderful blog post.
Weird question– Do you do anything special with your legs? They look amazing and I'd love to know your secrets, if you have any. 🙂 haha!
Jean you've inspired me to wear something orange!
Brilliant combination, the jacket is a very good colour.
Loving the skirt! How do you pull off a swing jacket at work? I really want to wear one of the about ten I own, but I always feel like I forgot to take off my coat… :/

Gorgeous! Orange really is an under-appreciated color.
Loving the hair! You should put it up more 🙂
Your style is absolutely impeccable, as always. That skirt is incredible!
I love the hairstyle, Jean – has a fun vintage vibe to it. I also think the darker/grainier photos adds some neat ambiance to the pics! 😉
Ladies…you don't need the bump-it to create a bump nor tease your hair. I part my hair into two, the front for laying over the layer behind it. The layer behind it, I roll it (however big or small you want the height at) and bobby pin it…almost like a victory curl. Lay the front layer over the roll/curl/bump and bobby pin it at the back of the roll.
I've always loved that orange swing jacket!

My favorite pairing of the 3 in my opinion, mostly because I'm partial to green! 🙂
