I love this skirt

Is it awful? And how can I style it, being apple shaped? I have giant boobs, no waist and my stomach always sticks out, no matter what size I am. Is there a way for me to wear the skirt and not look terrible?

I really like the shape of that blouse from oska. >£200 for a very casual thing though.. I’ll have a look for a discount code or wait until they have a sale on 😃

Have a look at Uniqlo J W Anderson collaboration - similar style.

Sorry I withdrew my post. I would wear something short and boxy stopping just below waist. This sort of shape

Is it awful? It's not great, @DriveSelfNuts .

It isn’t my style at all, sort of boho and the back angle looks really shapeless and drab.
i think it would look okay with a fitted vest top in the summer if it’s your style?

Black vest top and flat sandals in summer.
I really like the 2 monsoon blouses suggested by PhaedraTwo from monsoon.

Thank you everyone.

I think I need to look for some inspiration, maybe on instagram. I’ve lost some weight and I’m down to 12/14 depending on brand. I’d love to have a sharp clean wardrobe for work (don’t need much as only 2 days a week in the office) and to keep my beloved boho for outside of work. Years of wearing what I was able to fit into rather than what I like mean that I have lost any sense of style. And despite the weight loss, I still have the apple shaped stomach and struggling to cover it up.

I really like the skirt, OP, and like a pp would wear it with a black fitted vest top and sandals.
