Fashion help requested! Do the colors go together?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

So, next week I'm going back to work and this morning I spent some time going through my closet. I bought these two pieces separately. Do the colors go together? I'm terrible at this sort of thing, which is why I don't often buy separates.

It's an unusual colour combination, but it cooooould potentially work.

Does the jacket unbutton below the collar? If so, you could pair it with a blouse that picks up one of the neutral shades of the skirt -- I'd go for the light silvery grey -- and then match the jacket to another accessory, like shoes of a bag or earrings. Very neutral palette of colours, with the jacket to punch things up.

It'd depend on your skin tone, though. Some reds make me look absolutely seasick.

Thanks so much for the advice - I'll give that a try!

Yep, seconded. You need something to tie the grey parts to the top half.

Thanks for the input. I rummaged through my closet and found a gray top that should work!
