Does this look ok together? Not sure if it does or if I'm colourblind!

Thoughts? Not sure how well the colour has come out but it's a sort of lavender with a teal dress. Shoes are black, grey and teal, bag is black lace...

Lovely! I'm not a big fan of black accents though- do you have a different bag? Metallic?

Wandastartup · 13/09/2016 21:25

I don't think so. But am prepared to be out votedSmile

SilverHawk · 13/09/2016 21:27

Sorry, I don't like it at all.
Two strong colours would be fine or strong and neutral.

gammatron · 13/09/2016 21:31

I like it but would go for 'nude' shoes and bag!

DontFuckWithMyChocolate · 13/09/2016 21:32

It's a bit.... I dunno....
I'm not fussy on the colour of the wrap but the colour of the dress is lovely. I'm not sure they go together.

BennyTheBall · 13/09/2016 21:34

No.

I don't know how old you are, but my 70+ year old mum would love that combo.

ladyformation · 13/09/2016 21:35

I'm going to unhelpfully say that it depends on your colouring... the combination would wash me out but I think it would look great with dark or red hair, for example.

Agree that nude accessories would be great (also not a fan of black accents on coloured outfits).

CoolToned · 13/09/2016 21:58

No.

No.

KoalaDownUnder · 13/09/2016 22:14

No. Too peacocky.

Judydreamsofhorses · 13/09/2016 22:15

I'm not keen on this colour combo, but I think it would work okay in a really summery outfit.

GissASquizz · 13/09/2016 22:16

No. A bit....argh.

Believeitornot · 13/09/2016 22:18

I think you need a cream scarf. Or a nice grey. Silver maybe. Depends on your colouring.

And grey/silver shoes.

Floisme · 13/09/2016 22:22

Yes. If it was for me, I'd prefer plum to lavender but I think they look fine together. Not with black though, maybe grey?

ChocolateIsNotSleep · 13/09/2016 22:30

Thanks all!

Hmm mixed enough for me to think I'm not entirely crazy but more noes than ayes Smile

Benny I don't don't know how old your mum is but I think I'm probably a wee bit younger!

I'm going to stick with the shoes I think, I tried those ones and nude ones and preferred the black/grey/teal ones. they're not all black so I don't think too dark for the dress - and it's a heavy fabric too. Greyish wrap didn't work for me so I think it probably needs to be silver cover up - so a shopping trip required then...

No. The dress needs to be paired either with a stringer / bolder colour or with a neutral colour. The lavender is just a b

A bit meh

HesMyLobster · 13/09/2016 22:52

My DD would have loved this when she was about 6 (and obsessed with the little mermaid!)
She went through a phase of wanting to only wear clothes in this colour scheme, so that's all I can think of when I see them together! Wink

Destinysdaughter · 13/09/2016 22:52

If the pic was you wearing it think it wd be easier to tell. Does look a bit frumpy TBH!

Yayme · 13/09/2016 22:54

No sorry.

SerenDippitee · 13/09/2016 23:42

Agree with everyone else. You could get away with it if the lilac were a greyish cool tone but it's too pink, so you're basically putting pink and green together. If grey didn't work and you have black accessories then I'd suggest a silver or black wrap.

tigerdriverII · 13/09/2016 23:46

No - it's too much, colours too strong

gingerboy1912 · 13/09/2016 23:47

No

purpleshortcake · 14/09/2016 00:04

The pink reminds me of a medicine I had as a kid or calamine lotion. I think the teal would look awesome though with more of a bright cerise shade

SerenDippitee · 14/09/2016 00:06

shortcake Pepto-Bismol?
