I bought this skirt but didn't like the matching top. Problem is nothing seems to go with it!
So far I've tried:
Stretchy waistcoats in cream and light pink.
Black vest top.
White vest top.
White top with lacy bits.
One of those tops that laces up at the front.

Nothing looks right!

I'm a size 16-18, big boobs. Prefer sleeveless, short sleeves at a push.

Help!

Try a slinky black cami top, or a satin black fitted cami top

it's gorgeous. Wish I had somewhere fancy to go and wear that. The top with it looks perfect, what a shame you don't like it. Where did you get it?

The skirt/print isn't very nice, that's the real issue. However, if you love it, then you need a simple top, so no lace, no lace/tie fronts. A sleeveless bateau neckline or even something one-shouldered or off-the-shoulder. Alternatively, something high at the front, deep swoop at the back.

Colour wise, black and white isn't going to work, you need to pick out one of the colours in the skirt. I'd go dark chocolate brown or even burgundy. A dark sludge green could work too, ditto a nude/caramel colour.

I do like it, which is why I bought it.

Like the idea of chocolate brown, might see if I can get a satiny cami.

It's Quiz, I got it at the concession in New Look.
I've just ordered the top online to try on. I'm not keen on strapless bras which is why I didn't buy it.
