Pine green skirt - I love it, but WHAT on earth can I wear with it?

[nicecupofteaplease]

I got a lovely dark/pine green cord skirt in the Jigsaw sale today. I am in love with it, it's bright and unusual, and my colour.

But what on earth can I wear with it, colour wise. Anything bright is OTT because it's such a strong colour. All I've come up with so far is light grey marl sweater. There must be something better than this. It looks a bit odd next to blue, and I seem to remember some rule about no blue and green together. Red makes me look like an elf/Christmas tree.

I must find something, it's just so lovely. Sob sob.

Links? Need to see the colour really.

What's the stye of the skirt? Short, long? A-line or straight?

this?

or this? where she has it open with the striped tank.

Think stripes may be your friend in this case.

a kinda muted terracotta somethingorother would go.

Was also thinking mutated terracotta (is that an F & B shade).

ooooooooooooooops this 'un

Gah, it's not on jigsaw website anymore. this is quite close in colour, but it's not as 'vintage' as this one, more just above the knee A line type style. Man, it sounds horrid. It's not, it is beeeeautiful

What about a loose breton T in a darker cream colour, got a great one from Toast last A/W.

Nothing too fitted though probably.

Bright pink, lilac or lemon yellow. Turquoise would look good too.
