My Green Tangerine, a Color Quickie

Isn't this a "feel good",

or maybe I should say a

 "feel better", painting?

These colors really perk me up!

I have been a bit under the weather with that tickly throat,

headachy,

 stuffy head thing

the past several days . . .

Too achy to even write much,

so this post will be what I am calling a

Color Quickie! 

I wish I had this TANGERINE TYPEWRITER!

I have been self-medicating, with extra vitamin C,

the now highly regulated in Mississippi Sudafed,

Advil,

chicken noodle soup, and

what I refer to as

Ginger Ale cocktail -

all the usual suspects.

My ginger ale cocktail of course includes a burst of blast-the-cold

and the winter blahs

CITRUS, orange, Tangerine!

When I don't feel well,

citrusy Tangerine orange 
always perks me up . . .

Shades of Tangerine





(And so do bracelets!)

Lots has been written and blogged about Pantone's perk me up citrus color for 2012,

 Tangerine Tango.

Just looking at bright and lively Tangerine does make me feel better,

Shoes always perk me up too!
I wore Tangerine pumps in the '80's.





I AM feeling a bit better resting and sipping my ginger ale and orange juice cocktail, but SOMETHING is still missing. 

My drink needs a bit more color,
so to speak.

SOMETHING is missing.
I need that little extra zip!

I need lime, lovely zesty Green,
just the zip my drink and
Tangerine need to come alive!

I am JUST a little tired of

seeing and hearing about

JUST Tangerine orange . .

 I REALLY love Tangerine, like it is found in always inspiring nature,

when it is paired WITH glorious Green.

Of course I had to include a tree!





 Dare I pair my Tangerine peep toe shoes with these Green tights like I did in the 80's or shall I just leave my perk me up color combo to the interiors?

Even the green stems of the tulips add a bit of zip!

Maybe I will just wear these little earrings or this ring!

All this Tangerine and Green
 has taken me back to
my '80's wardrobe . . .

I rest, recuperate, and daydream, floating back, back, way back to my childhood

in the psychedelic '60's . . .

I keep humming the original bubble gum and slightly psychedelic 1967 song from those also citrusy Lemon Pipers

 "My Green Tambourine," but my version is slightly different

"MY GREEN TANGERINE"

Listen to "My Green Tambourine"

And I play, play, play, play, play

My Green Tangerine!

Doesn't this look so much better since I added the lime?

I'm just humming away and sipping

 My Green Tangerine.

I may even feel like eating a bite soon.

Do you like "Tangerine Tango"?

Do you like it better with Green?

Would you wear either one or both?
