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

[ChocolateIsNotSleep]

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...

Seren..possibly that or amoxicillin (I was a sickly child!). This was the teal and cerise combo I had in mind (though obviously don't wear a rug!). Does anyone think these colours work better?

No, no way

I think you need to change the lavender to a more neutral colour..I think two strong colours is slightly overkill

I like that cerise and teal combo. I get people saying they don't like it or that it wouldn't suit them but I don't understand these rules of colour that are being invoked. Sounds suspiciously like that 'blue and green should never be seen' bollocks.

I suit strong (not bright) colours and sometimes I quite like wearing them together instead of with a neutral. I think the right shades of pink and green can look great together - it happens all the time in nature.

Anyway I sometimes team a teal skirt with a purple T shirt and I'm going to wear it today, in solidarity.

The colours don't go IMO. The pink wrap could be nice with a neutral, the dress is fab and you could get away with neutrals or a different colour but the pink looks washed out next to the deep green.

Flo it's "red & green should not be seen" because they are in two different colour/tone scales. Blue & green are on the same scale.

Pro best not to give advice on the STYLE board when your not so clued up on these things!

Anyway.... It's a no from me. Agree with pps about grey/silver tones.

No, it's too much.

Lady, it's definitely blue and green! It was drummed into me as a child.

Wow LadyMary is it necessary to be so rude. The only version of that rhyme I've heard is blue and green as well.

As it happens I'm not a fan of the combo in the pic but I'm of the view that if you like it, screw what other people think.

I am sure LadyMary did not intend to be so rude. She was perhaps trying to be patronising but it's a shame she didn't take the trouble to check her folklore first. These were both common sayings back in the day. A quick google would have confirmed this but maybe it's the servant's day off.

My only 'advice' was that these sayings date back to a time when a lady never went out without gloves or a chaperone. The world has moved on. But I will concede that the reference to to 'bollocks' was coarse. I apologise, Your Ladyship.

It's definately 'blue and green' in my part of the world.

With black shoes and bag the wrap is too Summery.

My grandmother always said 'blue and green'. But she was born in 1905.

I'm not keen.

Never heard 'red and green'

No, I don't like it either. Sorry!

Actually Flo I did mean to be so rude! So take it, really not bothered.

Am Irish so it's Red & Green. That's a fact.

Oh dear was I rude again, ah well. Now I've best be off, I do in fact have servants to boss around today,,they don't actually get days off.

Happy bitching

Dear me, now you just sound petulant and rather silly. What a shame.

If you're an Irish queen, you're allowed to wear both combinations, you know, even without a colour in between.
