A little bit rusty

For some reason I was feeling stuck as to what color I should pair with this animal print skirt.
I've done the obvious olive green, and cream. My next move was going to be brown, but I thought, "Come on now, I can do better than brown."
So we have rust.

What colors would you pair with this skirt?

  1. Super cute, love that skirt! I would do yellow with nude heels. I'd also do a mint color top with some silver heels! :)

  10. Lovely! I realize I don't even own anything in rust. I would also go with basic black or white. Emerald may be a nice option too!

  25. That skirt is so fun! The print is great but since it's neutral I think the next color to pair it with is something bright - like a tangerine!

  31. I can't blame you for struggling to restyle this skirt - although I love earth tones, I find them harder to mix and match than, say, jewel tones. The skirt is beautiful, though; I love how feminine the safari print looks in gold. I would try it with navy in the fall, or maybe even oxblood? I mean, if you're a colour lover, why not go crazy?

  32. Love that skirt! Maybe try pairing it with a lighter shade of green, yellow maybe purple?

  33. Rust is a beautiful option for this skirt. I'd try turquoise. Because, really, what doesn't look good with turquoise?!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I like the rust. I would probably be boring and go with white haha.

  36. Have you tried a really bright pink or fuschia or purple shirt with it? For some reason I think that would look cool, in lieu of the color wheel... maybe something bright in general. Might end up too crazy though. I personally like how you kept it toned down with the rust! :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'd try a pop of color - turquoise, red, raspberry, purple, royal blue, bright yellow, even orange!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm... maybe you can wear it with white (i am sooo creative) or orange or turquoise ?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I like it with this shirt, but I totally would have worn hot pink. You know I'm a crazy like that :)

  40. love the colors you decided on! that top would also look amazing with a raspberry red or a plum come fall, basically anything jewel tone would be amazing!
