Casual top to wear with pencil skirt?

Hi all,

Just bought this fab skirt (pencil skirt on left - I have it in navy) and could use some advice about what to wear on top. I'd like to dress it down a bit (was thinking boots on feet) so any ideas?

Sorry look up skirts under "Shop" menu on top left...

short jumper. Boots fine.

navy is such a hard colour to match

what about a slash neck top or a shirt and waistcoat

Feistybird · 15/12/2005 13:38

Emerald green looks good with navy.

Slash neck sounds good - any links?

i did see some nice casual ones on the DP website

miss selfridge also have some really cool victorian-like tops, but you would have to be careful you didnt end up looking like a librarian! (although boots would help this)

try topshop too

if you are wanting to look really smart i would try a bustier (RI have a nice one)

go to RI get the latest look, click on victoriana and they have a blue bustier

doormat · 15/12/2005 13:55

agree with nailpolish
get a bustier

Sheila · 15/12/2005 14:00

A bustier ! Not sure I wanted to go that casual. More I think about it though...

Funnily enough in RL I am a librarian.

if that is too casual why not a nice lacy bra under a see through shirt
