![woman wears orange silk shauntung suit with short sleeves and a miniskirt; there is a corsage on her shoulder](https://corporette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/1.jpg)
We love this beautiful silk suit in a youthful tangerine — it's a sure way to stand out in a crowd and tell your colleagues that you're a confident, successful woman. Plus, the shortness of the skirt is sure to detract from any perceived matron-liness caused by the high neckline.
Oscar de la Renta Shantung Jacket and Skirt, available at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2680.
For orange suiting, WHBM has cute orange matching pieces including suiting, Tahari has a very bright orange (in plus sizes as well), and The Fold has some options in a lovely “burnt orange.” Saks OFF5TH has a great tangerine suit from Alice & Olivia, also, and Mango has some “coral” reddish orange suiting.

You know, I knew the skull sweater was an April Fool’s joke, but I walked right into this one. I had a good 30 seconds of WTF are they thinking?

I really hope this is another April Fool’s joke…

We’re still in April Fool’s mode, right?
Went back up to take another look. Yep, definitely. Short skirt? Brightly-colored suit described as “youthful”? Definitely April Fool’s.
Oh God, right?

I thought the skull sweater was the April Fools joke, but now I wonder if maybe all the posts today are meant to be pranks…

I loved that beautiful floral pin. It really ads something. Something a little crazy.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks a little Mrs. McCain?

Well the suit is actually almost $2,000 and unfortunately that price is NOT an april fool’s joke. :)

C, you should check out the prices for the pullovers and shirts on the skull-shirt website. For a moment, I thought the whole site was an april’s fool’s joke…
