I randomly bought dd1 (6) a 'celery' green net skirt with silver sequins from the monsoon sale - its lovely but now completely stumped as to what colour top and tights? What would you put with it?

its on the website under Girls - fairytale party skirt (except hers is very pale green)

cream

cupcakesbakingonanopenfire · 03/12/2005 11:03

I like pale green with pale pink - I think it looks fresh and pretty. Other than that I would use cream tights/top.

ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:05

yes agree about the pink

it would have to be just the right shade though

I thought about lilac

That's very pretty. Is the sale on in the shops?
Laughed at the 'Carrie' sequinned skirt - wonder where they got that name from.

Auntybrandybutter · 03/12/2005 11:06

pink tights?!!!! sorry cant see that!!!
Would go for a neytral tight and a cream or pink top

ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:06

lol

there is a monsoon sale outlet near me - it was only 12.95

ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:07

ok so I'll try and persuade her into a pair of plain cream tights

OP posts:
ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:07

she is wedded to bright mad stripy ones

Maybe lilac would work but am having trouble visualising them together. Prefer the pink combination (but yes, it would need to be a light, delicate pink - the idea being to look like pink blossom against pale green leaves!)

ScummyMummy · 03/12/2005 11:07

it sounds beautiful. Can you get silver tights, maybe? Not sure about top. Purple or lilac, perhaps? Does this help?

Auntybrandybutter · 03/12/2005 11:08

oh its your dd's not yours!! teach me not to read a thread!!!!

cupcakesbakingonanopenfire · 03/12/2005 11:09

I love green on girls. But it is hard to accessorise.

ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:09

I thought of silver tights! but impossible to find in dorset

how lovely though

OP posts:
Auntybrandybutter · 03/12/2005 11:12

ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:13

OP posts:
ENIDeepMidwinter · 03/12/2005 11:15
