Thanks for all the help guys.
I have to say I like Mo's suggestion very much having recently purchased this skirt from ASOS http://www.asos.com/au/Rare/Ra.....clr=Purple. Don't know how well purple would go with it but we'll see.
Modgrl - it is quite short on me, like a crop top - which is why I've probably finding it difficult to style. I've got high waisted skirts but they are in crazy colours like orange, haha.
