I'd wear this, in real life what's the cut of the skirt , is it flowy or straight? What style do you like and finally body shape

That’s a beautiful colour @GettingStuffed I had been looking at lighter colours like pale yellow or sage but weren’t happy with the selection hence posting. Maybe I should be looking at bright colours.

It’s not flowy but it has a little bit of a swish when walking if that makes sense. Body shape - I’m a rectangle and have a big stomach so the shape of the top and the belt looks ideal.

I wouldn't wear a long sleeved blouse with this. It's too much of a statement. I'd wear something quite plan. Maybe a loose slash necked t shirt in a silky fabric, Uniqlo have some nice ones.

I have to cover my arms so need long or 3/4 sleeves.

Well then I would get a long sleeved tshirt of some kind because I just feel a blouse would be the wrong texture/style for the skirt, and overpower it, unless it was very plain?

Yes I'd go for a loose understated colour top in sage green that flows in nicely with the fabric and fit of that beautiful skirt.

Possibly a lightweight denim style shirt/blouse?

I mostly wear a sleeve but would avoid a skirt like this as it’s hard to pair up.

I don't think a long-sleeved blouse would be right with this type of skirt - too formal. As a pp said, maybe try for a long-sleeved top/t-shirt instead.

A fitted top with elbow length sleeves? Possibly low or scoop back, or not. I like your idea of colours; sage or pale yellow I think you said.

That could work, a bit like the Boden ballerina tops.

The consensus is plain and fitted, got it! I guess I’ll just have to suck in my belly😂Thanks everyone.
