MsLuna, I am always super happy to get a look that is leg lengthening! I am going to need to look through my footwear to see what else works. I do think I have neutral heeled sandals that will work........how long before I can wear them is a big question though. Probably May!

#1 for summer and #9 for now. Great skirt!

Like lisap, I think the black tank looks great with the skirt. I’d suggest a simple black or white top, then adding a few dramatic and personal accessories—belt, necklace, scarf or earrings.
The red buffalo check jacket and the boots with the skirt reminds me of some of the new-wave cowboy looks people wear in Houston during Go Texan Day and rodeo season. A little bit heritage, a little bit urbane. Maybe a lighter weight top that has a New England flair?

I was confused and thought it was a dress at first. LOL I think it looks fantastic! #1 and #9 are my favorites.

Thank you Shevia, Colette and Rachylou. I will definitely wear this with a sleeveless top. I have much better looking black tops than the one in the pic, which will make me happier to wear.

Ladypainter, your ideas are good ones. I can easily wear maximal jewelry and add a belt to a simple top. I can do New England flair, too! I had to laugh about the new wave cowboy look.....I should have put on my red cowboy boots with the plaid jacket. If I ever get invited to Go Texan Day I will be ready!

I know I already commented; but I just looked at the pics again and wanted to say I like 1 and 9 the best too, with 8 as third runner up. Wonder how it would look with a simple black turtleneck?

Thank you, Jussie! A black turtleneck does look amazing with the skirt and ankle boots! I think this is how I will wear the skirt first......I am going to need the opaque tights, so it will be all black. I might brighten the look with my tan suede booties, but not sure I like the wider ankle on them as much as the slimmer black booties. I will be adding maximal jewlery and a patterned scarf.

You could make a cowlneck almost look good with it

I like it best with the booties and bare legs. Of course my eye always goes to shoes. They seem to have more heft with it. I like red and black- could you try the red blazer and black booties? Also would be good with a red cowl neck, black tights, black booties, red jewellery.
My kids used to call me "Darth Mummy" after the Sith lords because I liked red and black so much, when The Phantom Menace came out.

Jenni, thank you, your suggestions are good ones. I have a slightly fitted red sweater I am going to try the skirt, tights and booties with. I do have some red jewelry. I am thinking that the fab Burberry scarf Angie posted would be gorgeous with the skirt. If only it were in my budget.
