Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you tried the top with a bottom that was slightly less high rise? To me, what is less flattering is that the hem of the top coincides exactly with the waistband of the skirt. It might be more interesting if you could differentiate the demarcation more (either with a higher rise or a lower rise). Right now, from the front, it almost looks as if the blouse is tucked.

Interesting point, Gigi. Maybe that's why I was so unsure of it after I saw this photo. I think the effect in person is better because when I move, it's obvious that it's not tucked in, since it stands out from my body quite a bit.

I like it! Beautiful architectural shape and perfect with higher waisted items or a simple dress. Would it work with the new Everlane tee dress beneath?

love the architectural shape, the high-low hem and the curved back hem vs the straight front hem.

i would wear with a white tank under if headed for work. if strictly for play, then have at it!

KILLER

Best with a higher waisted bottom for work, but SHOW that cute midriff for leisure time.

Love it, especially the lower back hem. The side view is fab. If you have a solid color tube skirt with a high waist, that might look even better (without the button placket of the jean skirt). It could work over some jumpsuits too.

I just saw your comment from weeks ago, about a bit of sun allergy. This happens to me too, the first sunny/hot day every year. My dermatologist says possibly because of birth control pills. A little Aveeno hydrocortisone clears it right up. You are not alone!

Also, nice to see that midriffs are Angie-approved for leisure time!
