I get desperate when top shopping and just go with whatever fits and doesn't look too ugh on me. I hate top shopping! </p> <p>One skirt is a-line, and one is pencil shaped, is that right? I know I always prefer more fitted tops with a-line skirts to balance out the volume on the bottom half. I don't have much experience with pencil skirts but imagine that you can go with more volume up top there.</p> <p>One top I have found that works with both my aline and pencil skirt is a knit top with a waist band. I got this from Target last year. Have you tried on something similar with your skirts?</p> <p>Here's the top with pencil skirt: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4422174750/in/set-72157608225256166/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/y.....225256166/</a><br /> Bad me never took a pic of it with my a-line skirt, but I wore it essentially like this (this is a banded top as well although its' difficult to see because it's so dark: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4427817359/in/set-72157608225256166/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/y.....225256166/</a></p> <p>Anyway I'm no expert, that's just my rambly thoughts. I'll be interested to hear what others suggest though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135474 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:22:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 135474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How would you feel in a dressier version of your graphic tees, or a stripe top to wear with your wool and denim skirt?</p> <p>I hope the little one is feeling better and sleeping soundly soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135438 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:52:52 +0000 Anonymous 135438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about a cascading cardigan or a cardigan with ruched sleeves to wear with your skirts and a tee or turtleneck underneath?<br /> I hope your little one is feeling better and that no one else catches"the bug" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135417 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:15:37 +0000 anne 135417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me again (I am up with a vomity child in the middle of the night)</p> <p>Just wanted to add that I am not really fond of buttondowns on myself (Can look great on others). I think it is my lack of bust to fill them out. Also I guess I was thinking of something that will take these skirts which I purchased 2 (the denim) and 6 years ago (the other two) and make them look "this year".</p> <p>Thanks again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135406 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:16:21 +0000 anne 135406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kristine, here is a link to the wool skirt<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7016.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7016.jpg</a></p> <p>Our winters are not cold by US standards. Wouldn't often go below 10 (50) in the daytime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135403 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:51:01 +0000 Kristine 135403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, your denim and wool skirt pictures both show the same photo. How about a classic white button down (oxford) shirt? I think the style would look nice on you and it'd be very versatile. Do you have a cold winter? The pink skirt looks a little springy for cool weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135367 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:28:32 +0000 anne 135367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just bumping this before I go to bed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-skirt-top-for-this-winter#post-135273 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 05:31:20 +0000 anne 135273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In this post<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/musings-on-fashion-on-a-limited-budget" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ted-budget</a></p> <p>I said I'd ask some questions about specific items. Here is the first.</p> <p>I like skirts, but don't think I need to add any to my wardrobe this winter. But I'd like a new skirt top that would update the look.</p> <p>What I have in my mind as ideal would be a winter white turtleneck with ruched sleeve. But if I can't find one, or it doesn't work in practice, what type of tops would work with these skirts?<br /> denim <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7659.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7659.jpg</a><br /> charcoals wool <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_7659.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_7659.jpg</a><br /> pink tarten <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/100_5467.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_5467.jpg</a> (that is an old pic from when I first joined YLF, was post partum and probably 10 pounds more than now) </p>
