I've bought this skirt from next, it's lovely and I'm hoping to wear it out for lunch today with my docs - but what can I wear on top?! I've put on a bit of weight and am bottom heavy size 14 at the moment! I'm thinking of buying this from Next - Black Satin Midi Skirt With Lace Trim Black satin skirt

thank you in advance!!!

I’d wear a knitted jumper on top, something chunky. In black.

Yep knitted jumper in black, cream, brown or burgundy

I'd wear a nice fluffy cream jumper with a statement necklace.

I have this? It's the only knitted jumper I really have 😩 I'm not very good at putting things together and my wardrobe is pretty limited

Yes, the cream one, with the skirt and DMs. That will look great.

Thanks folks!

Nice outfit! Agree the cream one, the skirt needs a shorter boxier shape top to go with it, the pink one is too long. Boxy T shirts will work with it in summer. DMs look 👌

Have a look at Andrea's fashion galaxy on YouTube. It's amazing what a corset and belt can do.

Thanks - I'll invest in some boxy tops to go with it. I bought the skirt thinking I could dress up or down with it on a trip away for my birthday in April - this thread has been helpful.
