I love it and it is flattering but Im stuck as to what to wear with it. I can put together a daytime look but I really want to go to the pub in it as well.

I cant walk in massive heels btw but I am interested in shoes boots, although Ive never tried any on!

I like contrast of textures with leather - so cashmere, chunky knit, silk or lurex all good

I have a black leather pencil skirt and wear it with a cashmere v-neck or silk blouse. I find mine a bit too long to wear with shoe boots so I've only worn it with heels so can't help on that front!

Tricky. Not high leather boots - all too much. Maybe suede. But I agree - woolly tights or lacy ones, cable knit, pringle pattern, etc, maybe shoe boots or natty ankle boots with a heel. And a lacy/silky blouse with pussy cat bow, or a cashmere sloppy sweater off one shoulder?

Fitted tweedy hacking jacket? Or velvet?

the lurex top is the same colour as the skirt practically so I think its too much.

Yes, I know I can go to town with the tight situation!! I have all kinds in all different colours.

Its a top for big knockers and shoes for skinny ankles I need!!

Well if you've got skinny ankles then you can definitely rock the high heeled platformed ankle boot. I think fishnet tights and a lacey/flouncy pussy-cat bow blouse would be luvverly.

with it id do a black loose knit off the shoulder sloppy sweater
PLAIN tights ( enouh tetural detail with the leather)

shoe boots ( are millions around - you can find them no problem) and a long gold pendant like this

I love those boots, Ive never worn short boots and a skirt before. They look like I could walk in them. I havent got a next near me, are their shoe sizes standard?

I dont think that black top will suit my big top half really but I do like it.

Im ordering the telephone pendant, I love it!!

I like that but I do think it is too long. The thing with a lot of those drapy cardigans they hang funny over your boobs because of that silly drape effect.

Im just about to order the boots, Ive got the tights. Its just a top now!
