I bought this skirt from Tesco the other day when I was shopping.
I love it, but whatever I pair it with it doesn't seem right.
I hate black polo /roll necks as they drain the colour from my face.
Blouses never fit as they gape too much at the chest.
I am wishing I hadn't torn off the label even though I do love the skirt.
Any suggestions you stylists out there?
I just bought 2 pussy bow blouses from h&m for 9.99 each, one orange and one cream, both colours would go great with this and there wouldn't be a button problem as they are quite lose and its usually a problem I have as well, but these are a great loose style, perfect for tucking in. xx
ReplyDeleteA plain black top with a cream lace peter pan collar would look great with this. I often find a lace collar breaks up a potentially drab looking outfit at this time of year. You cn buy lace collar necklaces on Ebay usually. Tan brown accessories would look good too x
ReplyDeleteOooh I would go with either, or both, of the suggestions of Looking Fab and Lucy.
ReplyDeleteActually a pussy bow blouse in cream or orange would be great with the skirt but worn under one of the two vintage long waistcoats I bought today. One is in soft tan leather with self-covered buttons, the other in rather heavier mushroom coloured suede with funky gilt buttons. Both probably early 70s. I've got a feeling that you showed us something similar a while ago?
(I shall be showing these on my blog with some other recent 'finds' in a few days.) Cx
*Delurks* this would be amazing with jewel toned cardigans tucked in or vnecks. Try purple, teal, or burgundy :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above good advice, and I would consider going very feminine with a lacy blouse (loose cut) in ivory. Maybe some textured hose and lace up booties.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other posters, a jewel coloured pussy bow blouse with a waistcoat over the top to stop the embarrasing gaping! x
ReplyDeleteperhaps some sort of color. I know that I even wear tee's with skirts like this. When I first did that, it felt like a violation...but I'm comfortable with it now.
ReplyDeleteJewel tones or a creamy beige sweater would be great! Teal with teal shoes.
ReplyDeleteYou have rec'd some great suggestions already. I'd keep with the rust/cream tones which are great for autumn.

Love the ideas so far and haven't got any better ones of my own. I was really just popping in to say hi, and thanks for the comment on my blog recently. Good to see you are still here and everything is going well for you ;-)
ReplyDeleteJane, this is a gorgeous skirt. I'd love to see a crisp white business shirt with this for work-wear. Maybe dress it down with a white (or any colour really) 3/4 sleeved boatneck and scarf??
ReplyDeleteMervat.
I would go with a rust orange top/tee tucked in and rich brown boots! Or a bright/lime green top and black boots or shoes!
ReplyDeleteCute skirt, j crew has a Selvedge chambray shirt that would look really nice and brown riding boots, a scarf and necklace. check out polyvore for some ideas.
ReplyDeleteJude

why not tuck in your white tunic? or that red tank and then throw on a blazer?
ReplyDeleteChic on the Cheap
I think a white crisp button down would look marvelous a la Carolina Herrera.
ReplyDeleteAnother delurker, your cream joules blouse?
