The big thing this autumn is a really striking splash of color in an otherwise muted outfit, and who better to take colorful fashion notes from other than California Girl, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Katy Perry[/lastfm].

She utilizes some of the biggest up and coming trends to fortify an look that will make you the ultimate Firework the first day back-to-school.

Using this look as inspiration, there’s a much better way to implement it in your everyday wear so that you do not show up to school looking like a tart by using the orange skirt as a launch pad to something more practical.

These orange colored jeans from British retailer Dorothy Perkins are the perfect way to make a bold color statement that will literally set you apart from your friends.  Not to mention that they’re currently on sale for $28.16 so you better snatch them up before they’re all gone.

Also, remember if you’re not a fan of orange, bright colored jeggings are going to be huge this season, find a color that compliments you fuchsia, bright blue & electric green are also fantastic options that will be very popular this fall.
