Case-in-point, a straight skirt made from this fabric.
This would look pretty nice with a pale blue top, or a soft grey blouse or a cream blouse or cardigan. I don't own most of these pieces, so I make do with a too-tight grey t-shirt, a needs-to-be-thrown-away cream cardigan or the ubiquitous black t-shirt. (I will point out that none of these looks actually keeps me warm.)
This year, Pattern Review's mini-wardrobe contest involves using a 5th piece that is already part of your wardrobe, and I'm going to use this skirt and try to make pieces around it. There's a more-than-reasonable chance I won't get done with these in time, but it's good to goal-set, at any rate.
Task for this evening, rummage through stash & patterns to see what I might sew.

I can relate to this! Great idea to work your mini-wardrobe around the orphan skirt. I'll look forward to seeing what you come up with.
That's a great idea! I love that fabric and it certainly needs some friends.
