Hush tulle skirt (Floriza?) - help with styling please

[liveforchocolate]

I couldn't wait to receive my Hush tulle skirt last year - it was the answer to everything, and finally, I would be Carrie Bradshaw (I need a hand over the face emoji here!). However, things don't always work out as planned, and it has sat in my wardrobe gathering dust. Please help me work out what I can wear it with/for? I absolutely love it. I bought the pale grey/blue colour. I should have waited and bought the navy version, I saw someone wearing that recently with a pink silky blouse looking fab. (she was much taller than me though!).

How's about a fine knit dark grey polo neck, tucked in? With denim jacket, for day time. For evening dark sparkly fine knit jumper.

I'm always on these boards with full pics of myself ( I had a neck lift 5 months ago as lost 6 stone so had a thread about it ) so I'll put this one up - skin is thanks to Botox, fillers and retinol, nothing worse than people saying 'oh yeah I've got great genes' 🤣🙄 not many people get to 50 with hardly any wrinkles!!

I love clothes so much and have had such a good time buying my ( smaller for me ) wardrobe so decided, as skincare is a bit of a hobby for me that when I lost the weight I needed help with the 'scaffolding' so to speak.

You should wear what makes you happy, I follow a few people on Instagram and frequent these boards far too much and I love lots of clothes that I suppose shouldn't be for ladies in the 50's but I think 'fuck it' you only live once so wear what makes you happy!

Thank you so much for the
Birthday wishes - it was better than last year ( in lockdown ) full length pic attached.

@Plump82 a grey cropped sequin top sounds beautiful!

@Twattergy that also sounds lovely!

I now have a few things to google/order whilst confined to my bedroom :)

OP I ordered the mauve - will have to wear it with a dark coloured top as still huge norks but I will wear it a lot in the summer I think.

Which one gave you got? Is it the mauve too?

Asos are great for sequin tops.

Also found this from a couple of years ago, same sort of skirt ( but from simply be and I was a couple of stone heavier ) but wore with black biker boots, black t shirt and a cropped cashmere grey cari

Might not be quite the look you are going for but I loved this skirt!

@Wagsandclaws I have it in blue grey. it has been hanging in my wardrobe since March.. It does make me smile every time I see it.

nice top on Hush - Luci - I think will look nice with it?

I was just perusing wolf and badger and came across these tops. I was just thinking I wish I had a tulle skirt to go with one!
Lots of different colours and styles

that's gorgeous! buy the skirt!

Has this worked? Trying to add a photo

@Wagsandclaws lovely pics... the second skirt looks VERY similar in the way it hangs to the Hush one

@liveforchocolate I thought that - the waistband on the hush skirt is thicker though and the tulle comes down a bit longer too.

Tbh I think I got it in the simply be sale for about £25 though 🤭

I've ordered the one you've just linked to in a 16 - the colour is just lovely!

Oh and I love the wolf and badger jumper but you'll need to be careful with footwear incase it looks a bit 'ballerina-ish' Cream boots maybe?

I had a dusty pink tulle skirt when I was younger and skinnier and wore it with a grungy band t-shirt with cap sleeves or turned up sleeves. It was a funky balance

Lovely skirt OP. I would wear it with white converse high-tops and maybe a wrap cardigan like this one (either the navy or grey) https://www.cosstores.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/knitwear/product.wool-wrap-cardigan-blue.1015488003.html

@Wagsandclaws you look amazing 😍

@EllaPaella I LOVE that top, thank you! less 'ballerina' than the wolf & badger top

@EllaPaella thank you that's really kind.

Love that Cos top as well - I've never bought anything from them although they are popular in these boards, must have a peruse!

I love that! I think it would work so well with the skirt!

I have this skirt in navy, I love it.

I'll be wearing it like this with a slightly grungy t-shirt, boots and leather jacket. I think I'd prefer it with chunkier boots than the ones in this picture with hindsight, though. I also like it with platform chelsea boots and an oversized knitted hoodie/jumper or trainers and a t-shirt for spring.

I think it's surprisingly versatile as can be dressed up or down and it makes me happy. Have a play with it and different combinations and see what feels right for you. I think the paler colour is really beautiful for spring.

I love this skirt, have had my eye on it for a while. I usually size down in Hush joggers, should I for this if i take the plunge? I would also wear with a fitted t shirt and trainers I think

@toastfiend that looks amazing on you 😍

@toastfiend you look amazing in it! I should have not been in such a rush and waited for navy!

@DialsMavis I have a size 10. I'm usually a 'M' / 12 in bottoms so I'd say probably yes. - what do the others here who have it think?

I had a similar issue with a sequinned skirt, also from hush. I just decided to wear it with whatever - oversized sweater, fine knit jumper. It’s been freezing since I bought it but I have some lighter weight tops which I want to wear with it too. I felt self conscious the first time but now I just feel fabulous.

I'm 51 and 5'6" and I have it in the navy. I wear it with a navy vest top and navy boxy jumper which has diamanté buttons down the back. It sits slightly off the shoulder. I love it and feel very swishy in it.
