Spice Olive and Orange (featuring the Jcrew Gateau Skirt)

I think I have mentioned in my "Sateen Soiree Blazer" post that the first time that I tried the blazer in store (in the spice olive color) I happened to have also an orange gateau skirt in the fitting room with me and I immediately LOVED the two together. At that time they were both quite expensive (the blazer was still $99 and the skirt $59) and I was looking for something completely different so I let them go, but I kept having flashbacks of that outfit and now I can finally reproduce it as I found the gateau skirt two weeks ago on super-sale.

So here it is:



It's super pretty IRL but I think that it works because they are both made in sateen and my shoes are the same color than the jacket (or almost). The two colors are enough, without adding a third one!

While I was taking the pictures, I realized that I can also wear a "pants" version of this combo (the cerise cafe capri are almost the same color of the skirt):




While we are in the subject of the spice olive color, I have a little funny anecdote.
When I bought my b-day party dress at Intermix, they also had a top in the same style (one-shouldered and with the big ruffle around the neckline). I tried it in white but didn't feel it and while I was in the fitting room I asked the SA if she could bring me the spice olive one. The SA must not have been a JCA because she looked at me with a puzzled air and then she muttered "Do you mean the green one?". Apparently, yes, I meant the green one. We are so used to the Jcrew color palette and their challanging names than sometimes we forget that spice olive for the rest of the planet is a "green".
I actually bought the spice olive, ehm green, top because I tought it could be nice under the soiree jacket and also because the price was very attractive (OK, also because a lady who was trying the black one looked at me as if she was going to jump on me and take it off me right away), but I regretted and I have since returned it through the Amex return protection program (it was FS).
I have taken some "souvenir" snapshots though that I want to share with you:



And here it's with the jacket (I didn't like it that much under the blazer and that's the reason why I returned it):


Do you like the spice olive/orange color combination? Would you wear it or do you think it's too much? Do you prefer the skirt or the pants version of my outfit? Do you have the Gateau skirt? How do you wear it?
