Putting Myself On An Orange Ban

Like most girls I love to shop, but what I love to shop for are dresses. It wasn't until the last five years that I have embraced the dress. 

You see before this I was the ultimate tom-boy, so much so, that when my mother took me on a shopping trip when I was 15 and asked what I would like to wear to a school dance, I requested a pair of Adidas tear-aways and an Umbro soccer top. I seriously thought I was the coolest person there, with my long corn row braids, I was channelling Left-eye from TLC (well that's what I thought), while other girls flounced around me in their dresses or cute summer tops.

Times however, have changed, and even after a extensive wardrobe clean up I still have around 20 dresses in my cupboard.  Out of all of those dresses 6 of them are orange. Orange isn't exactly the most flattering of colours but I love it.  I have orange dresses, tops and jewellery.
So because of this I have recently put myself on an orange ban.  Do you ever have to do this, put yourself on a colour ban? Before orange it was purple, and before purple is was green. So as you can see I'm heading towards a full rainbow here.

As orange was my colour of 2011 what will be in my colour destiny for 2012.  And what will I have to ban myself from buying next.
