This skirt is currently quarantined in my freezer: https://www.lochcarron.co.uk/diana-princess-of-wales-memorial-rose-tartan-billie-skirt

What colour/sort of tights would you wear with this? For reference I have slim legs, and I don’t like bright, bold colours. The skirt is blush pink (quite muted) with some bright turquoise and muted red.

Certainly not mine - although I did get away with a mini kilt in 1969🤣

I’d go black opaques, black boots and a black jumper.
Probably too safe!!

I'm afraid you'll just have to use your own thighs.

I don't understand the freezer bit?

Good place for storing garments prone to moth damage or to kill any eggs!

I wonder if navy/dark greyish blue could work? I look like Death’s Assistant in black but I already have navy and dark blue tops, jumpers and cardigans.

Yes, this exactly. Bought it second hand.

I would also quarantine anything brand new that comes from a place that handles a lot of wool

Ugh. I love that skirt but I cannot spend that much on it.

Yes navy would definitely work.

Thighs or tights? You would need to get it right on both counts.

I found mine second hand. The fabric is very good quality, nice, worsted 100% wool, which probably justifies the price of a new one to some extent.

Definitely tights 😅 I didn’t even noticed the typo and it’s not possible to edit the title.

I think picking out the turquoise colour with tights would be eye catching.
