I bought an orange, or, more precisely, that orange-veering-to-coral-pink known as persimmon, sweatshirt last week. At least five people have since told me that it is the ‘colour of the season’.
All I know is that if you have boring mid-brown hair and pale skin with a warm undertone as I have, there is no more flattering colour on earth, and you will have to rip this sweatshirt from my back.
It’s been popping up all over Pinterest too.

Remember the Pantone tangerine nail polish that we saw at Sephora U Village? I still have that on my mind.
Since those Fluevog shoes have my name, I think that I’ll have to buy them!
pretty round up! I definitely rely on coral and persimmon as flattering tones, so keep the inspiration coming!
I have these awesome vera wang flats in persimmon. I am glad we’re not the same size. I would be afraid you would steal them.
According to Pantone, it is the color of the year, though they call it Tangerine Tango.
@Lilian I told you then and I repeat. Buy. the. polish!
@sandra I’m changing my name to Sandra as of today.
@nazila I will sneak up when you’re not lookin.
@kimberly Persimmon sounds SO much more classy than Tangerine Tango. What was Pantone thinking?
