Sophia Kokosalaki - CC loves this dress!
Word to the wise (if you don’t want to look like a Witchy Woman!): Pair an orange dress with metallic accessories to avoid the Halloween effect!

Vera Wang's orange jeweled bib neckline is set in stark contrast to a shimmering black embellished tunic.
At Nathan Jenden, the color and pattern combinations are especially costume-y. And the black-embroidered orange skirt is wacky, but CC loves it!

Want to get the look without wearing a pumpkin-tone dress, a la Vicky Beckham (who adores an orange frock, no matter her hair color – here she is in a Jil Sander shift [L] and a Léger bandage [R], via justjared.com)?
Try a fab orange and black accessory, like the Wicked Witch of the West striped stockings shown on the Miss Sixty runway...
or Miu Miu's Halloween-y wedge heel t-straps!
