yes but make sure it's not a long t

the marks and spencer ones this year are V long (the organic cotton ones with the super shape last year I'm on about) so a no no unless you've got some that survived the winter without too much fading . ho hum

I have this tulip skirt taunting me from my wardrobe and am similarly stuck.

In the shop they had it with a vest top (in FEBRUARY!), and I tried on a white blouse, kind of frilly, but it looked all wrong.

I left without a top to go with it which was a grave mistake.

Like it. Mine is luminous. What about a plain black tank. ?

would this work? IME kookai tops very short and fitted in the body.

Actually it's a little short (and dark coloured) to wear in summer - I would feel safer with thick tights and boots - maybe a plain black polo neck would be fine.

Luminous? Isn't it black like in the picture you linked to ? Was that NOT you?

Nice top (and name) I predict.

I think that would look nice with a plainish fitted tulip.
