spt challenge orange you glad it's october?

i can't even believe we're almost a week into october already!! where has this year gone?

this challenge was inspired by marie's passionate pumpkin preoccupation! if you haven't already, go now and check out her pumpkin spt, complete with orange shirt!!

orange is a color that i've largely avoided outside of october. i own exactly one orange shirt, and i will only wear it between october 1 and october 31. while my home is cheerfully decked out with orange accents for fall, you won't find any other orange decor in my home.

so, my question to you this week is

how do you feel about the color orange as a fashion statement? as a color in your home? are you picky about the hue? do you own a halloween shirt that says "boo" spelled out with rhinestones?? are you passionate about the *pumpkin color*??
