While tangerine can seem like a bit of a daunting and intimidating colour to work into your wardrobe, I've put together some ways to work this punch of colour into your 2012 colour palette.

Taking risks, either in life or sartorially, was one of your resolutions, wasn't it?


1) Make-up - try blush for a subtle look or go for the gusto with lipstick.
2) T-shirt from ASOS
3) Balenciaga sandals
4) Haute Hippe maxi dress - (Holt Renfrew or Shopbop)
5) H&M earrings
6) Half d'orsay pumps from ASOS
7) Pants from H&M
