What top and shoes/boots to go with this skirt?

I’ve just bought this skirt in Oxfam, I really like it. It has a sort of gold thread running through the net. I’m short and a sort of hourglass-on-speed figure (massive boobs, defined waist and a sticky out arse). I am also unable to wear heels of any kind except block heels of the cowboy-boot variety due to an enormous bunion.

I was thinking literally some brown cowboy-style boots I already have and a roll or funnel neck dark brown sweater, but I’m open to any other suggestions.

am guessing the pic will take a while to load.

Oh - and if folk are in agreement about the sweater idea, do they have any recommendations? I’m open to spending up to about £80-100

I like your idea of styling, but a grey argyle could also work.

What you suggest sounds ok

I dont think a roll neck is going to flatter you (short hourglass massive boobs), I think you'll be all boob. Go for something with a neckline - v or scoop.

I can sometimes get away with a roll or funnel neck, although I always prefer the necklines you suggest - just not for this skirt?

I like that a lot actually, thanks

Agree with pp, anything high necked will be v unflattering.
I have a similar skirt in a slightly different colour. I wear it with DMs or trainers and a crew neck jumper or t-shirt usually.

I would pair with a cashmere round neck or even a cardi.

I think your boots would be fine.

Definitely not a funnel neck with larger boobs. Lower cut crew neck long sleeved tshirt or a boat /slash neck tee which will give a 50’s vibe.

I’d wear this with a slouchy off-shoulder jumper and some brown suede ankle boots.

I think a wrap around ballet style cardi and dr martens
