Shrinking Violet

Any color I pair with this skirt would either not look right or seem too much, so I was happy to discover this blue sweater, which matches the blue of the skirt exactly. I also added a flower brooch (some violets, hence the post title) to make it more spring-appropriate. Usually, I would try to avoid “one-trick ponies” (items that can only be pair with one other item) and matchy-matchy looks like this though, so I’m going to have to find some new ways to wear this skirt before next winter.
Love this look! I think grey or jeans colour would match perfectly, what do you think?

I tried gray, but for it to match the skirt, the shade of gray would wash me out (I can do really light gray or dark gray, but not medium like this.) I’ll be experimenting and then we’ll see…
