to go with a knee-length (a-line-ish) skirt

will need to be smart (for henley regatta)

skirt taupe so jacket can be neutral (with colourful accessories) or a colour that would jazz it up a bit

jacket sprang to mind as top needs to be simple and smart

skirt quite full so need to avoid 'full' tops

but can't wear clingy due to bad tummy

we foolishly booked our holiday without reference to the Season and are missing Henley this year
though how they would have coped with 10mo dd I am not sure

Personally I would wear a cardigan

fitted cardigan fab in theory

but over my apple midriff = bad
