Feb 27th Fashion Parade: Tangerine Dream

Tangerine Dream

Pantone's color of the year for 2012 is Tangerine Tango. The Pantone site says the color is a "spirited reddish orange…sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive."

Turn on the heat and energy with this vibrant hue, in vintage style, from members of The Vintage Fashion Guild.
