On my last summer trip to Europe we saw shades of green in the stores - green was the new black. It hit the US in the fall. This summer orange is everywhere in Europe. Orange T, white pants. Orange polo, blue jacket. Blue polo, orange purse. Or just orange t, jeans or khakis. Maybe we are sensitized, since we recently went to our son's Princeton graduation? (Their colors are black - and orange). But we first saw this on the Dalmatian Coast (Croatia as the new Riviera?). Maybe it started in The Ukraine - but the Orange Revolution has broken out. Orange is the new black. At least this summer.
J graduated already? OMG. I still have the drawing he did of a ninja turtle when he was seven.

I've now been to 2 tropical wedding this year (fall and summer) and orange has been the highlighted color at each. It seems that American tropical brides were onto the orange revolution before those Italians caught on for their high fashion ideas. I guess this once again proves that the bride is always right.
