Pretty in...Orange!

After a long day of fairly unsuccessful style hunting downtown last week, I was about ready to pack it in when Ellen Close and her exuberant orange coat walked into my life. This lovely young lady—and said coat—was exactly the ray of sunshine that I had been waiting for all day.
As you may have already guessed, her fabulous jacket really was the attention-getter in Close’s ensemble. The colour is beautiful and the cut interesting. I also adored how the print of Close’s dress looks as though it were made  to be paired with her topper and how she layered her look for added visual appeal. To avoid looking over-the-top matchy, Close throws in a few unexpected elements. It’s a look that is prim without being too proper.
