What to wear with this skirt?
Hello Ladies,
I usually lurk, but I need help. I bought this skirt because it looks fantastic on and I usually cannot pull off wearing skirts--I always look weird. What top would I wear with this? I am 5'1 and I have curves. I would like to be able to wear this to the office and weekends out. TIA!
Re: What to wear with this skirt?
Since the skirt has multi-layers of flounces and a black & white print, I'd keep the top streamlined and simple. For work, you can do a lightweight cardigan or V-neck short sleeve or 3/4 sweater. Or a silk or polyester blouse top. You can wear practically any color because the skirt is made up of neutral colors.
For the weekends, I'd cas it up with a tank top or a cotton t-shirt. Throw on a denim jacket over it and you're set.

That skirt is so pretty! Wish they had my size.
And listen to Mav, she's very wise.
Umm may you link some examples? Nothing I tried looks right! I am kind of hopeless when it comes to skirts.
A colorful cardigan like this would work for work

I'm advising v-necks since they elongate your neck and draw attention to your neck and face and away from trouble spots that many women have. They also appear to make a woman look less top-heavy, especially if she has big breasts.
