Is this outfit salvagable?

I have a black skirt with a navy top. The waistband is narrow and so I can't tuck it in to look good. I think I need a belt. Event is tonight. Stressed. Please advise if there is anything I can do to bring this together.

You look great! How about adding some fun accessories and accents -- something in leopard or other animal print perhaps (belt, bag and or shoes)? Metallic accents would also be fun and fabulous. So would a little neck bling.

I think you have the start of a great outfit. I like the sheer sleeves, and the skirt fits you like a dream. I agree, this outfit for evening wants a thin, contrasting belt and possibly a statement necklace.

I really like it. You look lovely! I went to an event this past weekend and there were lots of outfits like this--accessorized with chunky jewelry.

I do not want to wear jewelry because I am going to an antique show and I like to try on all the priceless things they have for sale.

What kind of belt? Over the top of tuck the top in and belt the mess?

It fits you beautifully and that's half the battle! I agree with the others, just some jewelry, a nice pair of shoes and you are all set.

A good foundation. You need fab shoes, a fun bag, bling and polished make-up.

If you don't want to wear jewelry, then fab shoes & bag and a third layer? I always like to pull an outfit together with a nice jacket or cardigan (then maybe you can wear the belt over the cardigan).

You've gotten great advice. I just wanted to pipe in and say that you look lovely. I love the sheer sleeves of your blouse.
Perhaps some elegant dark hose to complement.

Looks good. Fab shoes and bag. Maybe a scarf that you could later put in or tie onto your bag while trying on jewelry.

I solved my dilemma. I went to Macy's and found a belt on the clearance rack for $12. I took off the stupid buckle and attached invisible clips. You may not be able to tell but the belt is sparkly. Pictures to follow.

OH NO.

It doesn't look as good as I'd hoped. Now what?

I'm not sure what you're seeing that you don't like? Is it a proportion issue? A fit issue? Color issue? I think you're well on your way to a nice outfit.

You might scooch the top up so that it blouses a bit more above the belt.

This is the outfit...

I pulled out the top a bit (not shown) and it looks much better, thanks!
