Grey linen has been procured from an eBay seller, as August is too far away. We shall see if that was a wise choice. I found in my stash a dark purple interlock, which I can use to make a t-shirt that fits in if I don't end up finding a pale pink. But, I'd prefer a pale colour because the linen is a mid grey and I prefer to wear paler tops and darker bottoms, or at least that they match in intensity.
In terms of order, since I have jacket fear and twelve or so unfinished jackets, plus a need for bottoms, I'm going to go like this:
1 - grey skirt
2 - grey liberty top (see, one outfit already)
3 - blue/purple top (two outfits)
4 - black jeans (four outfits)
5 - steam rollering ahead, the grey jacket (eight outfits, check me out, I'm ready to pack for a week!)
6 - the pink shirt (makes twelve outfits) -- I think this had better be a print, ideally with grey in it
7 - the purple skirt (makes eighteen outfits, and I'm so hot I'm smoking!)
What can go wrong - usually, for me, what can go wrong is the jacket, but in this case I think I will have to choose the purple skirt very very carefully or it will clash with both the jacket and the grey top. Not clash, exactly, but not look quite co-ordinated. It might be better to go for a pink in the same range as the pink skirt. In fact, it will surely be better. Now I need to make sure that that pink goes with the purple/blue tie-dye I have. I could change the pinks to lavender, but there are a range of lavenders in which I look particularly ill - I need a quite pink one. Or if maybe the print includes pink, purple, and grey.
