Just Bought These Shoes

Andrea Julia · Coach

How about a top in this color green with white pants or capris?

member · Hermes

Hmmm, I like the shirt, but I'm not digging the mixing of green and coral...i know some people do, but it's not my thing. Thanks though!

Anyone else??

How about brown and coral? I like brown and coral. Maybe even some C&C like tees with the brown as the top layer and coral as teh bottom layer?

I'm having trouble finding the exact color brown I want in a top that is cute. I think this color (or a slightly lighter brown) would be nice, but probably not this top:

I would think a white shirt or even a coral shirt would look cute too?? Opinions please!

Drew · Gucci

Honestly, I think a coral shirt is a little matchy-matchy. How about a shirt with coral in it instead of the base color? Also, white is easy - it'll look beautiful with the coral. I think the exact top AJ posted would be great with the shoes too. Don't cut yourself off any color really, including green - depending on the shade you do any color could compliment another. If you are really unsure do what I used to do (when I actually shopped in person) and take the shoes with you (just put them in a shopping bag) and try them on with stuff before you buy it to see how it all goes.

Thanks for the tips Drew! I really think white will look great w/these shoes, and I agree that a coral based top would be great too, however, I don't think it's wrong to be matchy-matchy, sometimes it's nice. That's sometimes more my style than wearing green w/coral, but I promise, I won't cut anything off and I will take the shoes w/me when I shop - thanks!

I kind think these tops would be cute w/these shoes - what do you guys think?

I almost bought those shoes over the weekend but I had already purchased 4 new pairs of shoes so I stopped myself. I love them. I think I will get them this weekend.

Shopchicago, I love all of your last four choices. I love these shoes, too!

I like the brown top a lot and the last one too. I do think it would be cute in white but I think the yellow would actually be really pretty.

I like the brown top the best of all of those.

I agree, the yellow would look pretty. And something that can help when you are coordinating colors, like green and coral or yellow and coral is to get a brooch with coral in it to pin on the top.

Some examples:

or even a necklace:
