what a stupid question that was

I would say Blouse tucked or untucked depending on the hem or any other top that sits nicely over it.

Beauregard · 06/02/2008 11:51

Oh and belt to cinch your waist.

bozza · 06/02/2008 11:52

maybe one of those crinkly blouse type shirts. Presumably tucked in not a good option if waist band just below norks. TBH there are not many tops around atm that look good with skirts. I even had a thread about it a while back.

I honestly don't think large boobs sitting on top of a high waisted skirt will look that good. Sorry, thats a bit blunt, but unless you have a very small waist & flat tum you should steer clear of high waisters.

tiredemma · 06/02/2008 11:54

where did you get it from? Im looking for one and I am a shortarse (like your good self)

where is it from (is it a petite?)

rantinghousewife · 06/02/2008 11:56

I have a flat tum but a short trunk and I could never get away with a high waisted skirt, so I don't think the flat tum is the thing to worry about tbh.

Something with flowing sleeves

no its not petite (new look dont do petite) but its a nice length (sit just below knee) if you have heel s on (which of course you would)

im 5'1"

OP posts:

Or a white shirt (depending on colour of skirt)

skirt is black, fimbo, with wide patent belt

emma its from new look - they have tons

OP posts:
tiredemma · 06/02/2008 11:59

Im only 4'11" so will look like a twat no doubt.

The recent addition to my wardrobe made me look like Cilla battersby. I imagine a pencil skirt will be no different

I truly HATE being vertically challenged
