Need a top to go with a nude skirt for a wedding

I have a lovely nude skirt and a wedding to go to! But I can't work out what kind of/what colour top to wear with it. The skirt is floaty, above knee length and slightly flared, made with vertical panels of satin ribbon and sheer material. I am size 10-12 and flat chested. Any ideas?

A fitted navy top?

Yes, that is what I have concluded myself, that navy would work. I just don't want one that is too T-shirt like if you see what I mean. On the other hand I really don't want any ruffles, and that seems to be standard for fitted navy shirts.

Google navy shell top and a few come up. Oasis and Warehouse are normally good for that type of thing, Coast and Reiss if you want silk or something dressier.

If you go for navy I think you need a statement necklace otherwise it could look bland.
How about some sparkle seen as it's a wedding? This could look nice ASOS

Or something like this although it's sold out ASOS2 bare with me! overlay the skirt so the mini dress become a fitted Tshirt.

With some nude heels a bracelet and earrings think gold sequins would be fab.

mewkins, thanks, found a nice Dororthy perkins top with your search terms.

Mimi, it's nice stuff from Asos, thanks, but I am 42 this year, and I think that amount of sparkle is probably a bit much for me ;)

I think navy is a good contrast to my nude skirt, as I have fair skin and "neutral" hair, I worry about looking washed out in too many neutrals.
