    I love all four combinations. Well done! I just bought some bright green straight leg pants and thinking about going back and getting the orange ones after seeing this. ;)

    Trying to get up the courage to buy yellow capri's. I think they would look good with the grey and white stripe boat neck T that I bought recently, one of the few items I bought this spring. Maybe with my silver cuff. We'll see. One pair of bright pants won't break the bank.

    This seems to be a trend that so many women call pull off except me. I think you need straight legs – be they thick or thin – to make this work. I've been admiring the look, but I will bow out of participating.

    My favorite combination above is the orange pants, probably because I like the shoes and brown top!

    I think this is a lovely, albeit, young, look. For myself I stick with the neutral bottoms and a bit of color on top. Lovely brown and orange combination with those sandals.

    I love all 4 combinations but the pink one is my real favourite.
    I love colour and I am so pleased that it is fashionable. Alas, the fashionistas don't think it suitable for large ladies. It is impossible to find pants in size 18 and over in anything other than BLACK, BLACK or BLACK. Actually there might be the odd dark brown if you look very hard.
    It is hard to find anything in size 18+.
    Thank God for scarves and jumpers.

    Had to laugh at the first one…you will see that combo of orange and blue all over Florida. Go Gators!

    There are some terrific options for colour this season and orange is one of the main winter colours in Sydney. A pop of colour breaks up all the black and grey.
