What to do with this skirt?

[ESF]

I am trying to be more fashionable so I may post here more often, so hi.

I just bought this skirt and it arrived today.

www.loft.com/etched-leaf-print-pencil-skirt/341992?colorExplode=false&skuId=16149007&catid=catl000017&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=5654

It's pinker than I thought. I never wear pastels and have almost none in my wardrobe, but I like it. Other than white/ivory tops and nude shoes, what can I do with it?

I have an ivory blazer that looks great with it, but I have no idea what color top I'd wear in that situation.

Help please?

Chambray ? Prints? Mint? Navy?

Welcome to the dark side, ESF!

I like what PP posted! I was gonna suggest mint as well. Chambray is a good neutral that would work with that too.

navy would look great, black and white dots/stripes could be fun, and i think something like radiant orchid could be a cool color-blocking tonal look.

OOOH, and olive green. always olive green.

Welcome ESF. Love the suggestions pp's posted. Especially the striped or polkadot B&W prints

If I were going to wear an ivory blazer, I'd wear an ivory top as well - maybe something with a few pretty details.

I love the idea of chambray with it too.

I agree with this.

Ivory/white and blush are a beautiful combination.  A simple silk shell would work, or you can do something with a little embellishment (pintucked, lace, embroidery, etc):

Ann Taylor 1
Ann Taylor 2
Club Monaco 1
Club Monaco 2
Elie Tahari
Nordstrom
Joie
Yumi

I think gold jewelry or rose gold jewelry would look perfect with that.

Alternatively, I think pale pink and navy pair really well.

I also just got an olive green cardigan, so this suggestion makes me particularly happy.

I love all these ideas.  Thank you everyone!  I think I can probably find things in my closet that might work, but I think I definitely need a mint top now.

ESF hey heeyyy. I knew makeup was just a gateway drug.

I like olive green with that too:

Coral would be pretty too:

Or a muted blue too:

Oh, I especially like the muted blue suggestion!  I have a sweater that is the same color as that blouse that I never wear because up until now, I haven't had a good bottom to pair with it.
