What would you wear with a pink skirt?

I bought this on a bit of a whim for two christenings and a First Holy Communion this summer.

I'm a size 8, dark haired but pale.

You sound my shape and colouring but I'm not sure how I'd wear the skirt. You have to be careful not to look like a granny! I'm thinking some sort of ballet wrap type cardigan might work but I'm not sure

I'd probably go for a boat necked or slash necked white top and some funky jewellery, I think.

OneHappyBunny · 14/03/2015 10:56

Yes, I think it has to be white too. Oasis had a pink floral blouse which I was pondering but I don't think the texture of the skirt would go with it Confused

Maybe [[http://www.purecollection.com/clothing/womens-tops/silk_satin_t-shirt_ivory.htm this]]. Sizing is big ime.

The fabric is gorgeous but perhaps the neck is too high for you.

I'd put black with it.

There's lots of pink and black on Pinterest, but I'm wary of veering into Pink Lady/ Grease territory... Shock

I think black too

niminypiminy · 14/03/2015 14:32

The pure collection top in grey would be good. Pink and grey would mean you wouldn't look as if you'd escaped from a ballet school, and not as Grease-tastic as black and pink. Pale pink and pale grey is a lovely combination. A simple silk t shirt tucked in will look elegant and modern.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/03/2015 14:34

Another vote for black - nothing wrong with looking like a Pink Lady!

tethersend · 14/03/2015 19:19

I'd do grey or kelly green, with gold accessories.

OneHappyBunny · 14/03/2015 21:01

Love the grey suggestions- thanks!

Navy would look nice and perhaps softer than black.

BallroomWithNoBalls · 14/03/2015 22:19

Lovely skirt! The M and S styling is dire.

I'd go black for events, what the first reply said (sorry on app can't see who it was) but black not white. Especially with dark hair.

Grey or navy would be lovely for work or more informal stuff, a grey cotton tee tucked in with silver flats, or hasbeen type sandals.

pepsi001 · 15/03/2015 06:51

This is screaming breton top to me. But then most things do Blush

Gunpowder · 15/03/2015 07:01

Grey Marl Tshirt

Carrie5608 · 15/03/2015 17:08

I would try cream with pink it works better than white.

waitingnervously · 15/03/2015 17:26

Aqua blue - I like the idea of a boat neck top. Metallic pumps.

IHaveBrilloHair · 15/03/2015 17:37

I'm currently wearing a pale grey, croppedish, belted cardigan which would look lovely with that, quite tempted to buy actually.

Nerf · 15/03/2015 17:39

I have one like that and wear it with black and grey sweaters and heels/uggs.
