Title says it all really - have a christening to go to in June, have dug out, red (blue red), cotton, a line monsoon skirt (from two years ago). Ti's a good fit and kind of works with black camisole and black strappy wedges, although understand shouldn't wear red with black or white; is this true??!! What colour can I wear with it?? Why did I buy it??? Why does bugger all else I own fit?? Any comments gratefuly received.

I wear red with black or white, but it also goes well with a sage green or cornflower blue

brand new shin dazzling white top

navy might be nice, there's lots of nautical stuff around at the moment

i like red with bright pink but then i do have at times somewhat dubious ideas

belcantavinissima · 28/04/2008 17:52

ohh yes, navy and white stripes, a lovely skimpy navy cardi, and big wedges

Pippo · 28/04/2008 17:53

Ah, so two votes for white being allowed then, those other colours sound interesting iam, will have to investigate...

Pink, orange or green

There is a lot of nautical aound too so that would be very on trend

MrsMattie · 28/04/2008 17:55

No black or white with red? Nonsense! Both work very well, as long as you don't overdo it on matching accessories.

your going to think bluerghhh , but Ive got a red and white wrapover dress and I wear it with a pink metallic traditional shaped twinset style cardigan and it works really well.

Although weirdly I found this , look at top of page image! I had typed in pink metalic cardigan!!!

Pippo · 28/04/2008 17:56

I like red and black. Have also worn red with white.

I wear a red skirt with a brown top and brown boots too. A slightly softer look. I do not suit navy at all so nevre wear it.

Pippo · 28/04/2008 18:06

thanks everyone you have given me lots of ideas, will have to get hunting for rest of outfit now...the black does work, but think a bit hard for my colouring
