New Look: tartan skirt 17.99, gold chain necklace 7.99

i have been absolutely in love with the tartan trend. i think it's so cool how something that was so popular in the 80's can come back with such a bang. i don't own ANYTHING tartan, so i thought that it was about time that i added a piece to my wardrobe. i was looking through New Look as per usual when i have a day off- and they had a whole category of "tartan". obviously i had to have a look. they had quite a few different options of tartan skirts, some black and red, black white and red, and then this one, green-white-black-red. i dont know, i really fell in love with this colour combo and figured i'd have a lot of fun putting an outfit together. the website said that i should pair this skirt with a white T and a gold necklace... they were right, i totally needed a gold necklace, so voila! i added one to my cart as well. i really liked this chain necklace, it's very basic and a very versatile piece. 

now here's my question for YOU guys: for fall, what would be a good sweater or top to wear with this?
AND: what SHOE would be great with this outfit? 

i'm new to the tartan trend and i've never worn it before so i need your guys' expertise on this! if you guys find anything on New Look, Topshop, Forever 21, River Island or ASOS, PLEASE leave the links in the comments. i want to buy a complete outfit.

  3. I would wear black tights, heels of boots with this skirt. Also for a top I would do see through black shirt with a cami. Leather jacket.

    Sincerely,
