Maybe something like these from Anne Fontaine:<br /><a href="http://www.annefontaine.com/the-white-shirt.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.annefontaine.com/the-white-shirt.html</a><br />Big-ish stand collar or winged french cuffs or some nice pleating at the yoke?<br />Carolina Herrara always rocks this look with a ladylike skirt. And crisp cotton would be bright white, businesslike, Florida-appropriate and yet casual and dressy at same time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1450576 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:46:43 +0000 Zibbets 1450576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds perfect, Ann.

I so appreciate you thinking of me!&nbsp;That's exactly what I'm looking for, but in white. The shoes arrived and they are definitely a cool white. So I've got an ivory silk top that I can wear with black pumps, that would be somewhat dressy, and then a more casual white top with my striped shoes for a little more casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1448317 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 23:13:48 +0000 Zibbets 1448317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, my new Garnet Hill catalog came today and I thought of you when I spotted this linen &amp; modal tee. I think any of the colors might work with your beautiful skirt. They also offer a tank and a cardigan in the same material.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.garnethill.com/elbow-sleeve-linen-26-modal-tee/378812">http://www.garnethill.com/elbo.....tee/378812</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444512 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 18:00:06 +0000 harmonica 1444512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous skirt and shoes! </p> <p>I'd keep it simple. The shoes and skirt are so beautiful that I'd like them to not be overwhelmed by other pieces. As others said, an ivory top that is simple and refined. If you want to add colour, you could do a fashionable clutch or an elegant&nbsp; silk scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444459 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:56:51 +0000 Anonymous 1444459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is off to a really good start, I think the ivory would look nice on you and can add a glow to the face at night that black does not.<br />I would have another layer though, as a precaution,&nbsp;and if a jacket is not your choice for now a silk knit cardigan would work very well and maybe even better. If you don't love to wear jewelry, maybe a non bulky, silk scarf could add color too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444435 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 15:01:07 +0000 Ann in New England 1444435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM, thanks for the ideas. I'm LOLing at the jewels...if you saw my jewelry box you'd ask where the jewelry was... But maybe a statement necklace of some sort wouldn't be a bad buy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444432 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:45:55 +0000 Ann in New England 1444432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, I think I would for a different occasion. I don't have a dressy jacket, and I don't want to spend that much for this. A dressy cardigan might work, though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444405 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:15:22 +0000 Elizabeth P 1444405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW to the skirt and shoes.&nbsp; </p> <p>Would you consider something sleeveless with a jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444399 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:07:03 +0000 AM 1444399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might go for black (fitted dressy sweater or blouse)&nbsp;and do colorful purse and jewels; or heavy up on metallic purse/ and jewels&nbsp;But I yes, take it shopping with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444398 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:06:16 +0000 Ann in New England 1444398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zibbets, metallic is a great thought, if it's subtle. I've been flipping back and forth to the link you posted. I think it's too slouchy, but I get where you're going. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444397 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:04:25 +0000 Ann in New England 1444397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all need to come shopping with me.<br /> Annabelle, I didn't even remember putting that crocodile twist top in my finds, and I'm not sure why I did, but I do like it. Too pricey, but that's certainly another direction I can go.</p> <p>Which is why I love this skirt. I don't go to many events that require full cocktail attire, so I love that this can be dressed up or down. (Plus it was a deal, but I would have bought it at full price).</p> <p>Unfrumped hit the nail on the head -- this is all about proportion. Something I am terrible at judging on myself.</p> <p>Annabelle, I was thinking the wrap top might be too much with the layers of the skirt. But perhaps I'm wrong. Will try one one, those are everywhere.</p> <p>Thanks, all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444393 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 13:53:31 +0000 unfrumped 1444393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry , phone put " gym" for intended glam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444392 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 13:52:10 +0000 unfrumped 1444392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, I agree, wear the skirt or take in a bag while shopping and try thing on directly.<br /> The less - dressy fine knit can work and you just add a necklace ( dressy but not too gym if event is such) and clutch.<br /> The skirt snd shoes are lovely so I agree that your " mission" for the toppiece is finding something simple and elegant with the right proportions - attesting neckline, the sleeves you need; doesn't have to be sparkly or dramatic. Bonus if you find something<br /> really fab, but nice &amp; simple are fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444364 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:26:27 +0000 Zibbets 1444364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, ivory would be lovely. You could also try metallic silver to go with the shoes. Something like this, perhaps:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dkny.com/women/shop-by-category/sweaters-and-cozies/metallic-long-sleeve-pullover/7867000049.html?siteID=gcdL_ATRVoE-lQ8A_KpN1vMQwZ7NenyVEg">http://www.dkny.com/women/shop.....er/7867000</a></p> <p>I would want it to be fairly fitted so as not to compete with your gorgeous&nbsp;skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444311 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 04:04:18 +0000 annabelle 1444311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ann, I just went into your Finds to see what you might enjoy, and... what about that crocodile twist top? (or something less pricey, if you are only wearing it occasionally!)&nbsp;That is gorgeous. The fabric leans dramatic but the shape is very simple, and that combination could go great with your skirt and shoes.</p> <p>Before I went to the Finds, I thought of an ivory&nbsp;wrap long sleeved blouse, to complement the softness of the skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.marissacollections.com/shop/ls-liam-silk-drape-top-bg10078.html?siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-2anK7LzSFP2z8vqJPcANiw">http://www.marissacollections......kR4-2anK7L</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-wrap-front-shirttail-blouse/3600898?origin=keywordsearch">http://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/.....wordsearch</a>&nbsp; </p> <p>Or, I don't know if your style would appeal to a more boxy top on top, to contrast with the skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/item10904678.aspx">http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/item10904678.aspx</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher/collection/ShopByCategory/Tops_and_Tees/Long_Sleeve/PRD_R4OLK-W2781M/Round+Neck+BoxTop+in+Airy+Organic+Linen.jsp?bmLocale=en_US">http://www.eileenfisher.com/Ei.....ve/PRD_R4O</a>&nbsp; is more casual&nbsp;</p> <p>this is fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444241 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 01:47:41 +0000 Ann in New England 1444241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annabelle, I love that! It might be a bit too dramatic for this occasion, but I am tempted ... However, that would be shopping for a life I don't lead. Gives me some other ideas, though, as you said. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444235 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 01:42:48 +0000 rachylou 1444235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really like that blouse for the skirt, Annabelle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444232 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 01:39:52 +0000 annabelle 1444232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a black chiffon knee length layered looking skirt with a sleeveless black silk top with ruffles. Thinking that black on black might be a bit overwhelming without the sleeveless structure component, I found this blouse that might look fantastic with the skirt and shoes, and with your hair and complexion. It might not be the exact right blouse, but a style for you to consider shopping around for a bit. </p> <p><a href="https://www.therealreal.com/products/women/tops/blouses/tuleh-silk-blouse-14?sid=ncvyyf" rel="nofollow">https://www.therealreal.com/pr.....sid=ncvyyf</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444219 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 01:15:39 +0000 Ann in New England 1444219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, found a few ivory tops that might work, but I think Imay need to venture out with the skirt and try some things on in the store. I do think Lisa's right in keeping it simple.

Hmmm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444199 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 00:19:40 +0000 Anonymous 1444199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ann! &nbsp;Pretty skirt, and shoes too. &nbsp;Why not go with something similar to what the model is wearing - an ivory or winter white fine gauge knit, &nbsp;silk shirt,&nbsp;or the same colour in an updated jacket (like a moto, or something on the cropped side to show off the skirt)? &nbsp; I'd keep the top fairly simple as the skirt and shoes carry enough detail for the whole outfit. &nbsp;Silver jewellery and you're done! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-shopstyle-this-skirt-please#post-1444188 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:38:34 +0000 Ann in New England 1444188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Occasion: awards dinner at a corporate conference. Dress at conference varies from casual to business casual, but this event usually features women in dresses that are more on the daytime side (rather than cocktail).</p> <p>Location: over-air-conditioned hotel ballroom in Florida</p> <p>Requirement: sleeves. I am always cold, and also have a skin condition that flares up from time to time that manifests first in my underarm area. So I keep that covered at work.</p> <p>I feel like I've pored over every online shopping site and I just can't find anything that feels right. I vary between a size medium and large.</p> <p>I also just ordered these shoes, so bonus points if I can wear them with the skirt.</p> <p>Thanks.<br /> Thanks. </p>
