Not only is tangerine Pantone’s color of 2012, it fits perfectly into this season’s tropical palette. Take a note from Ali Larter and wear an eye-catching tangerine skirt with a wrap or high-low hem. Pair a tangerine piece with basics from your closet, letting the fresh color be the focus of your outfit. The actress finished her laid-back but polished look with a white scoop neck tank, gold tribal pendant, cross-strap wedges, and a python print clutch.
