Styling this skirt?

Any ideas on how I can dress down this skirt? I absolutely love it, but I want to style it quite casual, thinking white supergas and a tshirt but that’s a bit of a new style for me so I’m not too sure in the top. In my head I want to look like Kate aka
Wears my money in insta....!

I would wear is with a slouchy knit or tee with trainers. It will look fab.

White or cream t shirt tucked in, flat flip flops/sandals or trainers (low rise converse or similar?) throw a little denim jack on and your all set

White trainers, cami and denim jacket. Leather jacket for cooler days.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 15/05/2018 19:34

Lovely skirt btw.

Lemonysnicketsmumscat · 15/05/2018 20:16

Thanks all! I have a few options ready to try out tomorrow. I saw someone wearing it and hunted it down on eBay! Really love it!

I’ve been hunting this same one! Well done! Yes I’d go white tee, superga/Stan smiths/similar and leather/denim jacket. It’ll look great!

White T-shirt, white trainers, denim jacket.

If you want to wear it in autumn/winter, then a black turtleneck and knee-high boots would also look fab.

Zippy, there are loads on eBay! I love it, and I felt great in it with a tshirt, white supergas and denim jacket. I am a skirt convert. Have also oddered this

That’s beautiful too @lemon. Can I ask what kinda of shape you are. I’m an apple and not sure I can pull off the skirt.

I would go for a soft grey marl tee, I find them really good for dressing down skirts.

Lemonysnicketsmumscat · 18/05/2018 21:40

I’m an hourglass but my hips are massive!! And I have a big tummy at the moment. With a denim jacket, I find them super flattering and really comfortable. 3 people have asked me where I got the animal print one today! I’d go for it!

What brand is the skirt? I really love it.

ShoppingOnesSelfFit · 18/05/2018 23:20

I have that skirt, I wear with a silky black t-shirt and black pumps.

Lemonysnicketsmumscat · 19/05/2018 08:43

Ella, which one? The black and yellow is vero moda, I got it from
Next. The animal print one is new look but out of stock, lots on eBay tho

The power of Mumsnet- I was watching one old eBay and the price is going through the roof! Going to bow out of that one!!

Lemonysnicketsmumscat · 20/05/2018 14:03

Haha! Really? They were on sale in new look as well, really annoyed me when that happens isn’t it? There should a be a local mn group for sharing sold out clothes!

OP posts:
zippyswife · 20/05/2018 15:08

Ah no seriously? When were they on sale there? I’d been hankering after a pleated leopard midi (evens started a thread aw while bawl!) To be fair I’m still not convinced it’d suit my body shape. But I’d have liked to give it a go!

Glad you’re loving yours though! Bet it looks great!

Lemonysnicketsmumscat · 20/05/2018 16:39

I dunno but when I was searching for it, it came up as half price but out of stock. It’s really flattering, I’d wanted something like it for ages but just wasn’t sure. I’m short and —round— curvy but I think it looks ok!

I bet they will keep turning up on eBay! They might even have some in store in new look maybe?

I got a pleated leopard midi from eBay recently but M&S limited collection and there are still a few sizes available if anyone is looking for something similar.

I wore mine with a fitted black t and tan wedges but also going to try it with burgundy shoe boots and top.
