WIW : Is it a skirt or a top ;)

Deborah

Veteran

Hi Ladies,

Another couple of pics of my skirt but this time worn as a top. I was a little skeptical but the fit is quite good and I liked the softness the draped panel added to a harder edge black look.

Jacket / Peter Morrissey
Top / Zippy Skirts
Skinny Pants / Katies
Boots / Aldi

What do you think? I felt a little insecure wearing a strapless top but the band is quite firm and thankfully I did not fall victim to any wardrobe mulfunctions

Thanks for looking

Oooh I so like this. It's the perfect travel item. It looks really fab as a top. Can't believe it is a skirt. Was it comfortable?

Gorgeous! I love things that can be worn different ways like this.

Sally for the most part yes. Psychologically wearing a strapless top creates a bit of stress but if the skirt is the right size/fit... all good.

I think you look fly as usual.

So stylish! It looks super!

I'm pleased it stayed in place for you.

I really like it on you. It's fun and sweet. Are you comfortable wearing it on its own? This would be the deal breaker for me, if I wasn't. But from what I see, it looks splendid.

Thanks Jane

Krish, no I wouldn't wear it on it's own. But because it also offers such versatility as a skirt it's not a deal breaker

I like the way it looks. I would never have known it was a skirt. Great travel item.

Great outfit Deborah...there's a Canadian brand called Sympli that has pieces that can be worn multiple ways...v versatile and great for traveling (as others have already mentioned).

I hear what you say about feeling a little wary and unable to relax, I know I'd feel the same. But the skirt-top (is that a skop?) certainly looks fantastic in this outfit! As others have said, it would be a wonderfully versatile travel item -- fab for occasional use as a dining out top. Nice to see this skirt's multiple renditions.

Very cleaver to wear the skirt as a top. I think it looks great. I rather like the way the band cuts straight across.

Creative "strapless top". Nicely done.

Positively stunning Deb. This piece is going to be brilliant in your wardrobe.

Thanks so much ladies:). I don't know how often I will wear this as a top but it's a nice option to have xx

I love the silver pendant. The strapless top fills me with projected anxiety but you do look great.

Anna

Brilliant!

What Shevia said. I doubt any skirt-as-top would stay put on me, but this looks wonderful on you. No one would ever guess that your top was a skirt. I wonder if one as a top could be worn successfully with another worn as a skirt?

It looks great Deborah, and you'd never guess!
