I really like this mauve-y pink with my brown dress --- don't know why I didn't think of this combination last winter. This base-layer tee is close-fitting enough not to add extra bulk under the dress or at the sleeves, which I think is key to making the outfit work. I could see a delicate, pin-tucked vintage Laura Ashley type of blouse under this dress (I did, the year I got married, have the perfect blouse in a perfect lush blushy pink, and now I wish I still had it), but otherwise, a fairly sleek, close-fitting tee is indicated.
I also like how my tights echo that mauvey pink in a darker register but don't match it. This is a sequence of colors I really enjoy.
And now I'd better go strip my bed and pack my bags. I might or might not post my travel capsule --- we'll see how much time and energy I have. I think I'll be doing well, today, just to get stuff done at all.
