WIW 5/2 (and bonus outfits): Inspired by nature day 3--Arizona canyon

This color scheme of rust orange and blue is one of my favorites, so I actually have three outfits in different levels of dressiness for today's challenge! Which one do you think captures the photo best?

2-4. Casual--what I'm wearing today. Earth colored striped Gap T shirt to represent the striped sand dunes. Rust pea coat and ochre colored Converse to match the colors of the rocks. Gap Long & Lean blue jeans to represent the water. And silver White House Black Market bracelet to represent the driftwood.

5-7. Smart casual--what I wore Saturday. I forgot to post it earlier, but it actually fits quite well with today's theme too! Orange tiered striped Bailey 44 dress with cropped American Eagle denim jacket (combo inspired by pastrygirl's recent post) to represent the canyon and water, Ugg Hazel clay colored wedge sandals to match the rocks, turquoise necklace also to represent rocks, and cream and black polka dot handbag to represent the white driftwood.

8-11. Work outfit--wore this back in February but the colors in the photo remind me of this outfit--WHBM ink blue jacket and black pendant, Tory Burch cobalt and rust honeycomb skirt, rust Chie Mihara sandals, and grey tights and Kate Spade tote.

    I just love #5 so much! A KILLER look on you. Great interpretation. You look very fab in #2 too!

    I love #8 minus the tights, FWIW.

    Well done, Natalie!

    As far as the interpretation of the photo, #2 is spot on...right down to the horizontal stripes on the tee! I'm with Angie - pic #5 is beyond fab!

    I think all of the outfits are cute - but something about the shimmeriness of #8 makes me think of the picture....

    I love ALL of these! But the casual version is my favorite - the stripes on the tee really convey the layered rock image. You are also making me wish I'd gotten an orange B44 dress!

    #2 is great inspiration from the pic.

    Oooo, you have the perfect wardrobe for the color in this photograph! I love the first outfit, cute and casual. The second one is really thrilling me with the fancy B44 dress, faded denim jacket and dotty bag! I can see why Angie likes it so much! And I love the skirt in 10, how cool that it picks up some of the colors in the photograph as well. Fab bunch o' photos Nat!

    How fun that you have all these dressiness levels in this color palette! I LOVE LOVE #5 on you, so so good! #2 is a great interpretation of the photo, and #8 is a great wintery version.

    All great but the casual outfit is my fav followed by the Orange B44 dress :)
