Long Shot- Anyone else have this Boden skirt?

[WitMom]

I ordered this skirt in the pistachio and I love it! So pretty and springy...but I don't know what to wear with it. I thought about navy, but that sort of "kills" the other colors. The purple/blue is hard to match. The flowers that look white are actually a very pale pink, but I can't seem to find the right shade of that, either. I'm not sure I could wear the color they show with it...I'm not stylish enough to pull it off. If I tried that, it would look like wrong and mismatched. So.....thoughts? It doesn't have to be from Boden.

I don't have the skirt. I did a search on boden for pistachio, thinking that maybe the greens would match up. How about this cami? http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Sleeveless-Tops/WL575-PIO/Womens-Pistachio-Essential-Cami.html Or maybe a white tank with this cardigan? http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Knitwear/Cardigans/WK631-PIO/Womens-Pistachio-Lightweight-Summer-Cardigan.html

I would try to match that purply color probably...maybe if you go with a Boden top, you'd have a better chance of it matching?

Very cute skirt! I like the idea of a heather gray. You could also do black like they do in the pic, but that seems a bit heavy. What about just white? Love the shoes in the pic too.

ETA: Oops, I was looking at the wrong color. I do still like gray, LE canvas has a lot of tops in "citron". It's hard to tell the shade of green in the skirt from the pic.

I ordered the mediteranean blue, and the red/yellow leaf print. I liked both patterns, but ended up having to return it because I ordered the smaller size (didn't exchange because I decided I wanted to wait and order the skirt or a similar one next year once I have lost the weight) and I ordered the Pleated Trim Top (http://www.bodenusa.com/en-US/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Sleeveless-Tops/WL578/Womens-Pleated-Trim-Top.html?NavGroupID=18) in graphite, and navy (love those tops, the only part of my order which I kept!). I think either color would go great with the pistachio skirt. I also like the coral color that is shown with the skirt on the webpage.

I just wanted to post a follow-up for anyone that this might help. I was reading reviews on the Boden site for their cardigans, and just by chance, someone mentioned that they had that particular cardigan in Delphinium and it was a perfect match for the blue/purple in the Pistachio Swishy Skirt. So I have my answer. Thanks for the ideas everyone.

That's great! Sometimes reading those comments really does help.

i think that grey or yellow would look great.

Ugh....The Delphinium is the perfect color match, but I just don't like the cardigan and skirt together. I think it is something to do with the cardigan length. It cuts me in half visually and just doesn't look right. I really want to keep this skirt but I'm getting frustrated. Off to see what other options I can find. Gray was mentioned as an option a few times....I'll try that. I might try navy again, too, or yellow (which I hadn't considered). Thanks for the ideas everybody.
