Flowery top for blue skirt?

Karin L H

I'be been thinking that I'd like a floral top to go with my light blue skirt(#1), for summer. But I didn't think it'd be this hard to find one! Don't know if it's Sweden that's not ready for summer yet, but I've barely found any top that I like, after looking online.

I wanted a floral, colourful, sleeveless top, preferably with some blue in it to go with the skirt. I have found one top online that I like (#2-3), what do you think? I like that it's loose, has a bit of a "vintage" feel, and the low back. But how well will it work with the skirt?

I also found a polka dot top, and loving polka dots I thought this might work as well?

Any top I buy will I be tucking, like in the picture with the coral top.

I appreciate any comments!

The floral top would look great with the blue skirt. I also think the polka dot top would work, perhaps with some black shoes to tie in the black?

If you're going to wear a simple cardigan to tie the look together, like you do in #1, I think either of the tanks will be cute. If you are going for a warm weather look without a layer - and I realize you said it's been hard to find something! - I might keep looking for a sleeveless top with more coverage from neck to shoulder, to balance the fullness of the skirt and to give a more finished polish to the look. When (if) you tuck it give it a little blouseyness to round out your top half, the way your cardigan gives some extra emphasis and oomph to the top.

The Find I've appended is not the color you were looking for (and heaven knows shipping charges from the US!), but I think this shape will give an elegant top for your skirt.

Does Boden ship to your area? I love their patterns, and they have a lot of knits as well as wovens that might tickle your palate.

I can't wait to see what you end up with or how you style the two tops you're eyeing.

I like both the floral and polka dot top with the blue skirt. One is soft and romantic, and the other bold and graphic. Room for both vibes.

I like them both for this skirt.

Thanks so much everyone for your thoughts!

Katy's, I have a new pair of black sandals that could work with the polka dot top!

Annabelle, I hope to be able to wear the top as it is, but knowing what Swedish summer is like I'm prepared to add a cardigan too for extra warmth. Thanks so much for adding another top - if I'd find one like that with the print I'm after that'd be great! I'll have a look at Boden before ordering anything, thanks so much for the idea!

Thanks Angie and Sveta! I'm leaning towards ordering the floral one... Will keep you updated!
