Often a designer will create one piece and design a second completing piece around it so that in essence the entire look is one company. This makes it easy for both the buyer and the end user i.e. the customer to lock into one look of a particular designer which is what most designers want to see.
In fact when we see a piece that is a color that might be hard to match for example some shades of blue (perriwinkle) or green (teal for example) which are incredibly hard to match with other blues and greens (hint: They don't match) we are often forced to skip over them despite how sharp or cute the item might be.
That being said, you arent always forced to keep to one brand if thats your preference. In order to make sure that the items you like work together try and keep to a shade or color that you find in the item you have picked and work around that.
For example, take this Little Marc Jacobs Lassie Skirt.
If you look closely (click on the picture) you see the colors that abound in this skirt. Its got the orange/pink and the traces of fuscia in the cloud formation of the skirt and although the designer probably wants to see something like this Little Marc Jacobs "Lonnie"
T-Shirt accompanying it for a look like this:
However if you are comfortable going a little outside the norm you can pair with other like toned items such as this:
which picks up the Pink from the Little Miss Marc "Lemon" T-Shirt
getting a little more pink (but boring) with this Splendid Top:
Or if you are really daring give a splash of the Bold with either of these two Burberry T-Shirts:
Both of these looks are a little strong on the top but definitely work.
