what goes with aubergine?

[Lmccrean]

im crap at this sorta stuff and dp is good at it, but only enjoys shopping for 10 mins at a time, unless hes in a computer shop...

got a lovely aubergine skirt, below knee but kinda puffy iykwim, in dorothy perkins sale the other day, and need to find nice tops...but all i can think of is black and a dusky pink (maybe?)

Sorry this is sooo dull

Pale soft lilac, or pale grey?

How about cream or even a minty colour (no really, it does work!)

Yes, I was thinky a minty colour too.

Definately cream!

Oh dear, I was going to suggest red pepper.

But now I'm here... think you've got it spot on with dusky pink or black.

oh, never though of cream... and i just bought a minty green top in dunnes stores the other day (along with a dusky pink one)..so will try them on together tonight.

any good (reasonably priced) shoe shops online? And if I buy black boots (that i think will go with the aubergine skirt) will they go with the cream/mint/pink tops?

Im 21 and still no clue on shopping

Sigh...21.

As in, I wish I was..!

yeah, but all my peers at 21-25 yrs are spending £100 a month on clothes..I save a tenner a month for clothes each for me and dd, and thats it! Im just trying to get outta the jeans and tshirt phase ive been in for...oh, since i was preggers 3 years ago.

I am not the only foodie on here then, I was desperately trying to remember the recipe for Baba Ganoush

If you remember it let me know!

Sophie Grigson had a lovely one with aubergine and halloumi in something I was reading recently...

i think aubergine nice with burnt orange for an autumnal look (visual not foodie!)

good orange tops in h&m for a few quid.

3PRINCESSES This one is divine

Baba Ganoush

2 small aubergines
I garlic clove crushed
4 tbsp of tahini
¼ cup of ground almonds
juice of ½ a lemon
½ tsp of ground cumin
2 tbsp of fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp of olive iol
salt and ground black pepper.

For the flat breads

4 Pitta breads
3 tbsp of sesame seeds
3 tbsp of fresh thyme
3 tbsp of poppy seeds
¼ pint of olive oil

Start by making the flat bread

Split the pitta breads through the middle with a knife and carefully open them out.
Mix the dry ingredients in a mortar. Work them lightly with a pestle to release the flavour.
Stir in the olive oil .
Spread the mixture over the cut sides of the pitta.
Grill until golden brown and crisp
When cool break into pieces.

Apologies for the hijack.

I have a aurbergine coloured skirt and I wear it with a deep green coloured top.

Sounds bad but it works.

no THANKYOU! LadySherlockofLGJ, ive just copied out that recipie

Bright red works pretty well in my opinion..and a soft grey.

I would go for the autumnal burnt orange, or brown, esp. if you have brown hair yourse;f

cream? boring!

green

lmccrean
tourqiose! would be fab, and flatters pale and darker colourings. dont go for cream.
balck will kill it butthe pink would work but liable to be marked by a child ten minutes after u put it on. and green as the others say.
whats oyur colouring?

teal

Goes nice with camel and white I think Agree with teal aswell that looks lovely

Yep, teal and as someone mentioned earlier, soft lilac/heathery colours. And cream, obviously.
