I planned on wearing with charcoal opaque tights and black boots, but what type of top? I did think a charcoal polo neck, but woolly or cotton? or a slash neck top? but I havent a clue.

Cotton. More wool would be overkill. Unless you live in Norway or suchlike.

Cute skirt though

Oooh, a wooly jumper skirt, that's interesting :)

OracleInaCoracle · 10/11/2011 15:35

it really is surprisingly cute. not too short (I am no longer 18) and is v flattering.

poloneck?

If it was me I'd wear it with either a crisp white shit or a black polo neck. But yeah, not wool. That'd be too much! x

Are crisp white shits like those white dog poos from the 1970s which you don't see any more for some reason?

Trills, is interesting a Good Thing or Bad Thing?

I like it - defo not more wool though. Thick tights, biker boots, fine gauge polo. Brill.

ConfusedGirlSuz · 10/11/2011 16:23

Ha!! No. I was thinking more like this.

Grin it was in a shop that is closing down near us, everything under a tenner. I saw a simillar one in fatface here I thought wool might be too much, I tried it with a non-fitted charcoal polo and it looked quite bulky (and Im v slim)

how about this in mocha?

I agree ? slinky, very fine poloneck. Or go for a very contrasting texture ? silk long-sleeved top or T-shirt.

OracleInaCoracle · 11/11/2011 15:02

Thanks, what colour? Something similar to the mocha one or dark grey? I can't do white or cream.

My dog has crisp white shits after he's been eating bones.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/11/2011 15:53

I might go black, or a very dark grey (darker than the skirt or it'd be too matchy matchy IMO). Or a bright/deep colour ? burgundy? Blueish purple? Mustard? Burnt orange?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 11/11/2011 15:53

PS loving 'crispy white shits'. They totally are those white dog turds from the 70s. Where DID they all go?

campergirls · 11/11/2011 15:56

It's not wool, it's 100% acrylic. May sound like a pedantic distinction but please do look at Wovember for a hilarious (but also serious) explanation of why it's worth making that distinction. I care about this because I come from a sheep-farming area, and I really worry for the future of our landscape and community, to which wool (not acrylic!) is crucial.

Cute skirt though!

OracleInaCoracle · 11/11/2011 15:57

Oooh, I could go mustard! I've got a v fine knit mustard polo neck! Its vvvv fine.
