More green in 2017

How to colour match a problem skirt
I started this year with a post about "Green in 2017," and it's been one of the best read so far. It was about my love of the colour green, and how green had been chosen by Pantone as its colour of the year, in the "greenery" manifestation.
The other day I happened to hang up a Boden floral skirt next to a green cropped cardigan, both of which I hardly ever wear, and I was surprised I'd never thought to wear them together.

The skirt has been a little problematic in that it has several colours in it which don't cry out to be used in a top: pale pink, grey, navy  (none are colours that really suit me). Fortunately there is some green, so I've matched it to the cardi and added bright pink shoes. I always love pink with green.  I used a silver belt and necklace to go with the grey tones in the skirt.

The advertised post, clothes with pearls, features some AW17 buys, and seeing as the UK weather has finally taken a turn for the better, I thought I'd park that for a week or two!
