The blush and mustard may not be conventional, but I think the combination will look fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734897 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 20:41:11 +0000 Zibbets 1734897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was silvery gray. I think It would also be lovely with a cream blouse, maybe silk? and nude or animal heels. Depending on where you're going, a jean jacket and boots might be great too.</p> <p>So many great suggestions for your beautiful skirt. I'm excited to see if I can use some of them to get a neglected rust blouse back into play. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734883 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 20:22:56 +0000 Jane 1734883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like rust with grey, perhaps a twin set or neat cardigan, a white t-shirt and a necklace.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I have got to keep in mind Angie's skirt rule. Your post is a useful reminder.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734766 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 06:40:12 +0000 elpgal 1734766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad I posted! Thank you for all the wonderful options, would never have thought of denim or a Breton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734751 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 05:11:11 +0000 bj1111 1734751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like joy's idea of a striped top, Breton -ish, slightly boxy and cropped if the skirt is pencil or slim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734740 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 04:20:32 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1734740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a chunky cream sweater in a cropped silhouette would work well....or a denim shirt tucked in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734726 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 03:34:54 +0000 Anonymous 1734726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have lots of excellent suggestions. I'd be careful of prints with rust in them...to Garanimal or matronly. How about a striped top in white and black or navy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734719 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 02:51:41 +0000 crst 1734719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are grey (worn with mixed metal jewelry), dark denim or a cream top or blouse (with pearls) with it., </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734700 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 02:17:24 +0000 Nebraskim 1734700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a rust-colored skirt that is a workhorse for me. My fave way to wear it is with a black turtleneck and a blue denim jacket. My second fave is with a blue denim shirt and a black velvet riding jacket. (I'm sensing a pattern here -- blue and black with rust.)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734698 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 02:06:53 +0000 JAileen 1734698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a scolding from Angie for buying a skirt without buying any tops!</p> <p>I like rust with olive, BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734694 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 01:55:03 +0000 AZBeth 1734694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a pair of rust pants this week with navy and I quite liked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734680 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 00:24:22 +0000 Janet 1734680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like rust with black and white, or with shades of blue or teal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734679 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 00:21:08 +0000 elpgal 1734679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tulle, I know! At least now I return the skirt if I can't find a top. Earlier I would end up keeping it and donating it.</p> <p> Traci: thanks for pulling up that one. I have some navy tops I should try with it. </p> <p>SF: thanks, I may just end up getting an ivory Tippi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-top-for-a-rust-skirt#post-1734646 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 23:10:57 +0000 Style Fan 1734646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love rust.&nbsp; There were some chunky turtlenecks on the J.

Have you seen one? Photo is not of the exact skirt, just added to show color. </p>
