After seeing Sveta's sweater and skinny pant look in this thread, I went in search of the sweater that was similar that I used to own (it appears to be gone).

Since I recently bought purple and soft tomato red Kut from the Kloth Diana jeans, it is a look I really wanted to pursue. To that end I went shopping yesterday. I went to the mall and had no success so I tried a few smaller stores. I found a skirt and top in a print with deep aubergine, fuchsia, indigo. I tried the top with my purple skinnies and it worked (I think). The next store I hit had a few styles of sweater in a fine gauge knit in a linen blend. I had wanted to get cobalt for with my red/orange skinnies and they had one that I think works. They also had it in a shade of orange that isn't too bright. I NEVER try orange anything but figured what the heck - I need to step out of the comfort zone occasionally. I was wearing the purple skinnies and I thought it worked. I also tried a long loose sweater that was a bit fitted at the waist and has a flirty bottom. I got that in black.
I was reading Suz's packing for China thread and realized that I the pieces I bought yesterday with a few I already own are a capsule with navy, purple, orange.
The skirt and top set work with a navy suit I own as well as the recent purple jacket purchase. The top of the set works with both pairs of Dianas I bought plus they can be worn as a dress. The orange sweater also picks up a bit of orange in the skirt so they should work together for a different look. It also works with the purple skinnies but should work with the red/orange pair as well for a tonal look (I would need to tone it down with greys or browns). The black sweater works with all of the bottoms including the charcoal knit pants I bought a few weeks ago.
ETA: I took a few pics and added a fuchsia sweater to the mix. The purple jeans are in the wash now but could be subbed in outfit 3 and 5. I also have the matching navy skirt that goes with jacket 1/2, charcoal slim ponte pants, and an ink blue tahari top.
