I love orange. It's my favourite colour and (apparently) looks good on me. So over the past two summers, while orange is "in", I've been snapping up as many tops, capris and shorts in orange as I can, for fear of the day when we won't see it in the stores anymore. I LOVE opening up my closet and seeing all that orange in there...various shades...peach, coral, rust, spice, but my fave is actual orange. Wearing orange is one of my many ways of managing my low-grade depression (which I have to say I don't feel I suffer from anymore). Orange makes me feel happy, joyful, motivated - as if I can do anything.

I've had to give a few older pieces of clothing away to make room for all the orange stuff, but we usually give so much away in Cuba every year that it does regularly clear out space for new stuff.
