NAS Trina Turk outfit, p. 21

Marlene1

I love the Trina Turk outfit (cardigan, blouse, pencil skirt) on p. 21 of the NAS catalog. I love the way the pieces work together and I think they could be split up and work with a variety of other separates. Angie looked great in the cardigan.

My question: I am really short-waisted and skirt looks very high-waisted. Do you think the skirt would work on a short-waisted racy rectangle? I generally do not tuck. Thanks for the help.

I don't remember the outfit, but I don't believe that you have to tuck something just because it is high-waisted. I never tuck but I still wear lots of high waisted skirts. This Polyvore image by Imogen gives a great visual that I have found to be very accurate. Unless you're one of the few short-waisted people who has a defined waist (which you probably don't since you are a rectangle), I would not tuck.

I am also a rectangle that is slightly shortwaisted. I don't think I could get away with wearing the skirt with a tucked shirt (since it does look high-waisted), but I think you could get away with wearing a banded top or something similar, untucked. Is there any way for you to try it? Or you could order the outfit and return the skirt if it doesn't work

Hi Marlene and thank you for the compliment. What is your height and will you wear heels ?

I am 5 feet, 5 inches, slim but no waist, and I would wear heels with the outfit - probably mary janes with a heel.

Maya, Thanks for posting the polyvore link - seeing is believing, and that image makes it really clear. I hope that there will be clearer views of the individual pieces of that outfit when the sale is posted.

Thanks, Marlene. Wearing the cardi over the tucked-in top is the missing variable. That’s what will make the look work if you’re short-waisted. I hope that makes sense.
