We weren't really the types to think we could pull of a vivid orange shade, until we came across Rachel Comey's pretty tangerine strapless frock on her spring '09 runway. But before we decide if orange is the right kind of glow for us, we'll be experimenting with this paler (yet just as summery) tube dress from Cheap Monday. The ruched detailing is casual enough for beach or barbeque, yet the hue will make sure you stand out in a sea of drab blacks and whites. And at just $45, you won't have buyer's regret if you and orange decide that, though it was a nice summer fling while it lasted, it just didn't work out.
