Two Ways To Wear Marigold Orange Tops With Skinny Jeans

I've been wearing a lot more bright colours lately! Loving yellow as always, but there are a lot of cute orange pieces around for spring too and so I put this post together with two ways I've recently worn marigold orange tops. Both with jeans, but with different colour schemes.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest Kitty denim biker jacket
Necklace: Kmart gold and navy beaded necklace
Tee: Jeanswest essential v-neck tee in marigold
JeansSass & Bide Playman skinny jeans
ShoesConverse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
BagRebecca Minkoff 2012 sky grey mini MAC bag

Why I wore it:

This was a really fun outfit! These Sass and Bide chevron print skinny jeans make such a statement on their own, but I thought I'd try the marigold tee with them for something really bold. I did end up adding the denim jacket on top too so it wasn't too much together, and it helped keep me cosy as it was quite a windy day! I really like the double denim with such different coloured denim pieces together, I thought it went well and the blue Rebecca Minkoff mini MAC bag and necklace tied in with the blue of the jacket. Blue pairs so nicely with orange!

A comfortable jeans and tee outfit for the school run, spending time scootering around with my son and walking Cooper, and then sports in the evening.

Necklace: navy and silver circle pendant tassel necklace
Jeans: thrifted ASOS petite green skinny jeans
ShoesNew Balance white and blue sneakers
BagRebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack in bright blue

Why I wore it:

A little more of a colourful combination with this recently purchased top! Admittedly when I ordered it online I thought it was more mustard than orange, despite the marigold name for the colour. It's a stunning bright colour though and oh so comfortable - I saw it working well for the rare zoom meetings I have at work where I want to look bright and cheerful but also be comfortable too, the slouchy oversized style and dolman sleeves are just perfect for that.

As it is such a voluminous top I wanted to balance it out with skinny jeans, but also really have fun with the orange colour so I decided to try these thrifted Asos green jeans with it. Such a fun combination!

The daggy sneakers and the practical Rebecca Minkoff Julian nylon backpack were because I headed out with the kids for the day, making the most of the nice weather and the pupil free day to explore along our favourite trail again, visit a new one, and just keep the kids out the house for a few hours so hubby could work from home in peace and quiet! I was so glad I had these comfortable shoes, especially on the second trail as my injured knee was really complaining!

May have been a bit overly colourful for hiking around some trails, considering we didn't bump into anyone else but a snake all day, but it was nice to try a new colour combo. And thankfully the snake slithered away quickly!


Last worn: navy tassel necklace, green skinny jeans, New Balance sneakers, Rebecca Minkoff Julian backpack. First time I've shared the top on the blog as it's a recent purchase.

How You Can Wear It:

There are so many different shades of orange around at the moment for spring - it's a really fun colour to wear! You can try it with neutrals like blue denim jackets or black jeans, or go a little bolder and pair it with bright blues and green denim!

  2. I would never have thought to wear orange and green togehter before. You first outfit would be prefect for Halloween. I hope you are doing well.

  3. MICA!! I am seriously - jaw-dropped-on-floor - blown away by these two bright and amazing outfits! You look stunning in this colour, and you have hit on the magic blue-orange combo! They are opposites on the colour wheel, and are complementary colours, which is why they look so good together.

    Did you find that wearing bright orange/yellow affects your mood? I'm curious, as yellow is always a colour that cheers me up and disguises when I'm in a low mood.

    Mission for you, should you choose to accept it: find some less daggy (heh, I love that word) sneakers. You are a shopper extraordinaire, my dear - if you can find a sweater, you can find some comfortable, supportive and STYLISH sneakers! ;-)

    1. Thanks Sheila! I've been adding a lot more orange to my wardrobe lately, not as hard to wear as I first thought! :) I've been torn between wanting to graduate from having to wear sneakers all the time and acknowledging that I may have to be wearing them for a long time yet...but I did buy replacement ones last month. They aren't quite as ugly...

  4. Orange and blue is one of my favourite colour combinations, so your first outfit is definitely making my heart sing. I do love those zig-zag patterned jeans too. A very funky outfit! Your green skinnies with your newly purchased orange top definitely meets my approval too. I do wish all hikers were as colourful as that! xxx

  18. I really love the color of your top. It is like a rich orange - something that looks great to the eyes without being too overpowering. I love the pairing with the patterned skinny jeans! Definitely something I haven't seen before but pulled off really well. I like the combo with the second outfit. So interesting that the top gives different hues hehe. Oooh I LOVE nylon backpacks. So easy to maintain. Thanks for sharing! Have a lovely weekend!

  23. I always shy away from wearing bright colours for some reason, maybe just because I'm not a confident dresser and always try to play it safe but as you've shown in those photos, they are such a vibrant, happy addition to any wardrobe!

  28. The orange is such a gorgeous colour, I have a couple of bits in shades like this but don't wear them that often as I struggle with styling them sometimes. I never think to wear them with other bold colours but it looks fun! x

  34. I love the orange and green color combo! It's vibrant and very eye catching. Definitely lifted my mood and made me happy! I have the mini RM Julian backpack and I love it so much. It fits everything I need and the design is unique! Btw, I couldn't comment on your current two posts because I couldn't find a comment box. I just wanted to let you know that it's missing from the end of your two current posts. I hope you are doing well and happy Wednesday!
