Naartjie experts, can I get your opinions?

I ordered the peter pan collar top and the rib core tunic with velour binding, both in pop, with the rib pant with velour binding as potential casual holiday outfits.

I LOVE the peter pan top, but I'm not loving the rib core tunic. It's cute, but it looks much more casual than the PP top. I was thinking of exchanging it for either the rib core cardi with velour binding or the crush dye velour mock neck top (I really loved it on Amy Grace and Logan), but I'm not sure if either one of those will look good next to the peter pan top.

Any ideas on what I could get that would compliment the PP top? I want the girls to look similar, but not identical. I was also thinking of getting the PP top and rib pant in cranberry, but would cranberry and pop look weird next to each other? Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Lisa, I think pop is a great holiday color!

Here is a picture of cranberry and pop side-by-side so you can see how they look:

And here is my suggestion of another top that would make a cute combo...the 21 wale corduroy top. This is a picture of the two shirts in question in bluebell with the velour ruffle pants:

I also think the crush dye velour top would work well, just keep in mind that it is running small! I don't think you'd like the velour trimmed cardie any better than the tee because they are essentially the same top just the cardie buttons up the front.


And, BTW, where were you able to get those pics? Do they have them in every color? Cool...I never can copy from the naartjie site!

Thanks so much for the pictures, Denise! I was thinking that the 21 wale corduroy top would like nice with the PP top, but then I ruled it out and now I can't remember why! I'll put it back in the running again, lol. I think they would look nice together because they both have a collar.

I really love the PP top, so I think having it in two colors might make the most sense, but I keep going back and forth about whether I like cranberry and pop together. I think I might just have to order everything I might end up liking in person and go from there.

I edited the pictures in Photoshop. I did a screen capture and then used the airbrush tool to do a wash of pop on top. It turned out a lot better than I expected! I'll try and do some more tonight, so if you have any requests let me know.
