What will go with this?

Tina is an Indonesian living in Jakarta. Just a simple girl who likes dressing up and go in style. One day she received an invitation to a wedding reception. And, bad luck, at that time, she had nothing new in stock and the wedding was only a week away. She ransacked her trunk where she keeps all the left-over clothing materials. Just in the nick of time, when she was about to close the trunk thinking that there wouldn't be anything worth taking out from there, her eyes caught something shiny and sparkling from among the heap of "rubbish". She pulled it out, to her surprised, saying to herself why she had forgotten that thing. A material made of lace pale lemon color with silver thread and pastel pink and lavender "splash". An idea came, she thought she could make a blouse out of it, in fact only that the material could give.

Four whole days passed, in the end she came to complete something like


Now, two days to go till the reception. This time she wondered what kind of a skirt would go with that simple cut blouse. She thought she had to find the skirt from a shop or market. Then went out strolling the shopping arcade.., ha! at last she came to a shop that showed her many color options of the style she fancied..




She saw that eggplant or teal or hot pink color may match with her blouse. After about ten minutes of pondering, she decided to take hot pink color. That would look nice on her Indonesian brown skin under the evening light of the wedding hall. And she was satisfied. :)
