Please help me style this skirt, I haven't worn it yet!

[faithfultoGeorgeMichael]

I am 2 inches shorter than the model, have to wear flat shoes.
Size 8. I want too wear it as much as possible :) I bought it as it is beautiful and cannot find ways to wear it. Thanks for any help!
It looks white on my screen but it is very pale pink.

Off topic but I LOVE that top, reminds me of Loewe style.

OP, I think it would be easier to style if it was white as I would suggest a black vest top or waistcoat style top.

I struggle with pink near my face myself, I woud definitely go more fitted on top to counteract the flowiness.

Just don't wear it with Tabis like on the picture!

How about this?

@frumpydump I just saw your thread which got lots of lovely contributions - you said you have no sense of style, so people with experience/knowledge offered help. Your post here is like me posting "no one except you gives a shit what you look like" on your thread. Just pointless and mean.

Ok you don't like it. No problem, but it is made by a very well respected and loved designer and it's hardly a wacky or bizarre piece is it? A long pale skirt for spring/summer?

You were probably just hot and grumpy but then you keep coming back and doubling down, just stop! Be glad you got some help on your thread, like I am here. And stop sniping in S&B, it's not the place for it, AIBU is elsewhere!!

S&B is for the @EleanorMc67 of MN to help those less able browsers live voraciously through her searches - long may it last!

It really wouldn't.

I have skirts in a similar shape although not as pale and I pretty them up further with cardigans or tops from Palava

@Notsosweetcaroline Brown is a great call, I have lots of brown tops and never entered my head!

@PhaedraTwo lovely knitwear - I am off to search vinted!

What a nasty comment. I noted there was a very similar comment on your own thread about a dress you own, but which is now deleted.

I hope no one reports your comment so we can all see it. Oh and this skirt is much nicer than your dress.

Ah nonmerci99 I now understand your (now deleted) comment on frumpydump's thread

Yeah I was just taking the piss as she’s been so nasty here, surprised she can be so rude but I can’t be sarcastic in reply to that?!

Came for a pic of the skirt, stayed for frumpydump getting her arse handed to her 🤌

I like @frumpydump 's dress (on her thread), it is baffling thou, the colour is pretty much identical to my skirt! It's also long - albeit a dress and with added polka dots! Really quite similar imo but what do I know..... 😂

The navy Cos top I posted (and own!) also comes in brown ;-)

That’s a lovely skirt. I wear a lot of those sorts of skirt. I would go for a contrasting colour in a bold print in something like a light green. It also would need a belt:

Op I’m wearing this today in navy, on me it’s about 4 inches from the top of my foot so much longer than the model and the skirt appears much wider, than it appears on her, so a similar vibe to your skirt.

you can see a T-shirt top works well with it, so I’d also say a close fitting T-shirt would also work and be very flattering.

@frumpydump , I just read your thread and I’m really stunned you came on here and decided to attack. Especially in the dress you were in yesterday, which is a little more out there than the ops style. and that by your own admission you struggle with style.

it wasn’t nice, I think I’d apologise. You wanted people to be nice to you then didn’t extend the same kindness.

White t shirt, beige trainers.

Disagree with pp, if the skirt is pale, don't go pale head to toe unless its tonal, otherwise the skirt will get lost.

There was a poster not long ago who was similar. Very strange!

Well aren't you a peach @frumpydump !

Love the skirt OP - emjoy wearing it.

I’d just wear it with a cream vest. It needs to be bodycon to balance the fullness of the skirt. And a belt, not keen on the elasticated waist.

😂😂😂😂

Hark at the woman that posted that hideously unflattering monstrosity on her own thread yesterday 😂😂😂😂

I think a skirt like that is very versatile. Depending on the look you are going for- knitwear, cropped or thin to tuck in. I have a Vivienne Westwood cardigan in a dark grey which I think would be perfect (also picked up on vinted). A shirt could be really cool- either a cropped one or a wrap over style. Simple t-shirt (Uniqlo cropped are ideal for those of us with short bodied!). A bodysuit if you want to be more dressy. She’s actually just launched a collab with Uniqlo which I haven’t perused yet but might be worth a look.

If you are feeling flush I think this could be very cool with a pale pink skirt kindredofireland.com/collections/linen-blouses/products/rugby-shirt-limelight.

Your link is broken but I think you mean this. Kindred has its linen tutu shown with other blouses which would also work. I think a full top can work too

Yes thank you Phaedra. I’m hoping they bring back the red and pink colourway in this rugby shirt this year.
