Shoes & Skirts ... Oh My!

Hey Everyone,

Okay, I am looking for some fashion pieces and advice.

1. I do not want to call this a rut, but maybe it is. I love camis! Now, I am obsessed with camis with lace on the bottom and/or the top of the cami. However, I used to wear them without anything over top of them (i.e. cardigan, jacket, shrug etc.), but now that I am in my early 20's (23 on Monday) I have gotten out of the odd teen-phase (not that my style was anything special, trendy etc., but jeans, tees, sweatshirts, & work boots - I used to own a horse and was constantly at the barn working - you get the idea). Now, I wear them only with a cardigan, jacket, shrug etc. over top of them. However, I feel as though I am only comfortable in these now. I am "scared" for lack of a better word, to try other tops. I have a small "pooch" on my tummy which cannot be flattened, because I have a lot of scar tissue from past surgeries.

Any suggestions for other tops to wear with jeans, skirts etc. to hide my pooch, but also flatter my small, feminine frame (I'm 5'3, 111, 36 B bust) ?

2. Any suggestions of what pair with flowy, floral skirts, and pencil skirts that are not in the above question?

3. Also, I have a physical disability, so I walk with a gait. Therefore, I cannot wear heels any higher than 3/4 - 1/2 inch. However. I hate round-toed shoes. I really want a great pair of flats, but have yet to find any.

Any suggestions?

4. I am looking for a floral pencil skirt. Or a pencil skirt that is a color other than black - something fun, bold etc.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
