    do these top and skirt go together? + pics
    I'm in the process of sorting out what to take on holiday with me this summer. It's not like i'm going to a fashion show in Paris.

    Do this skirt and top go together? The first pic is of them together. The other 2 show the colours and patterns in more detail. I kow pink/red/orange are hard to coordinate. The skirt has got 3 or 4 different shades of oranges and pinks and a couple are pretty close to the colour of the top.

    I probably wouldn't wear them when going out with friends in England. But im trying to make as many outfits as I can with as few clothes as possible. And each of them only go with one other top/trousers and it would be better if I could wear them each on two evenings but as part of different outfits.

    Hmmm..if you were to wear this here..then prob not the best combo but seeing as you're going to caribbean it will look fine,everyone is colourful and mismatched patterns-noones really fashion conscious tbh. So lucky btw,its gorgeous there! Which island are you going to?x

    Cuba. Yeah you can get away with slight fashion crimes on holiday. I'm going to Cuba, so not the nicest or richest island i dont think anyway.

    Not the best combination but you could get away with it.

    I think it has the 'relaxed' holiday and island style to suit. If you were to wear it here I'd probably be sceptical, but on holiday things are just different

    A plain pink vest will go better.
    Sinceyou'rewearing a frilly top,as well as a frilly bottom. So it'stoo much frills imo.
    Wearing a plain pink vest, willdraw attention to the detailed patterns on the skirt.
    And wear golden sandalls with them,they'll look the best.

    I have got a plain pink top to go with the skirt as well but that's it. So i don't want to take the skirt if I can only wear it once with the one t-shirt Plus the pattern on the top is only around the collar, so not all over.

    I was wondering what shoes to wear with it. I have some wedges that have gold/bronze straps that go with other stuff I'm taking.

    I don't particularly like clothes of that colour, but I think on holiday in a hot country you'll be fine! Have a nice time

    Hey!

    The designs may be a tad on the busy side and conflicting ever-so-slightly but I think you can pull it off on a holiday context.

    Enjoy.
