I've broken my own shopping rules and bought something without knowing what I'd wear it with, Just because I really liked it.

I'd really appreciate some outfit ideas.

It’s very neutral - I can’t think of many things it wouldn’t go with!

Will look fine with cropped or oversize plain or printed t shirts.

Or an untucked oversized shirt.

Or neatly fitting or chunky knitwear.

Or a pinstriped jacket or huge linen blazer. Or a little cropped navy jacket or trench.

Boots, trainers, loafers, Birkenstocks or fisherman or other chunky sandals. Clogs, new style ballet flats …

Really, pretty much anything according to your tastes and preferences.

(A million posters will ask what you’ll wear underneath it - but I’m sure you have that figured out, or don’t care.)

Yours isn’t on the current website but if you look at this skirt:

UO show suggested outfits beneath it. And the entries for other similar skirts might help as well.

I would do:
Plain t-shirt/vest top/jumper
Band t-shirt
Mesh top
Bardot top
Floaty boho style tops

Pics for inspo!

@wordless thank you.(Neutral cycling shorts were ordered at the same time 😃)

I think I'm needing some Birkenstocks and a boxy cropped t-shirt to begin with.

Lots of great ideas so far.

By the way, you might want to ask MNHQ to edit your second photo, @FartingAgainstThunder.

Yes can see a WhatsApp message on your second photo OP

FartingAgainstThunder · 28/05/2024 14:02

Oh gosh, that must've popped up just as I clicked the screenshot.
Thanks guys!

Mumsnet have zapped the offending photo!
Thanks for alerting me to it, I'd never have noticed.

👍I only noticed myself on a second look.

Wanted to know what fabric your skirt is made from?

FartingAgainstThunder · 28/05/2024 18:06

I'm gonna guess it's the finest polyester money can buy...it's actually a dupe of the free people one that I got from Amazon 😁
I had the free people page open so screenshotting that was easier.
It's a really good dupe though, I've seen the real one and aside from a few stray threads I'd be hard pushed to tell them apart.

I'll check the fabric composition shortly (when I remember where I've put it)

I’d wear cream 3/4 leggings underneath it as it looks a bit see-through. Then pair it with plain flat leather sandals and a knitted top (sleeveless or long flared sleeves). I’d keep the colours neutral too (cream, brown or black).
