sorry - have studiously avoided peasant skirts (is that what they're called) over the last couple of years.

what i would say though is you must wear something fitted and small on top - otherwise it'll all go a bit hippy-dippy, or tent-like...

M&S do a really simple waistcoat style/tank linen tops in white that I think would look great.

love the skirt, and I also love the top that she is wearing with it!

any particular reason why you can't go for that top at all??

a plain white top with some nice beads i think would work best

out of the link above i like the lace trim t shirt (top row 4th along) and the white insert crinkle top (2nd row, 1st)

and next do next day delivery, pretty reliable too

Am-Ive never ordered from them before either but looked at f & qs!
Next one is nice.
M and s one is ok.Bit pricey and would need a jacket with it i think(flabby apper arms!)

i dont really think like jackets with hippy skirts

i would wear a cardigan or a shrug, but would that make it too informal?

Tutter · 05/06/2006 14:12

wrap cardi?
