Old Navy Skirt

Sheri

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....skirts.jsp I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to wear on top of this skirt from Old Navy. I would like to wear it to work this summer. I am looking for something to dress it up (e.g. a jacket) for business casual type environment.

I have the skirt in navy/white (not shown)

Thanks,
Sheri

Suz has a few knit tube skirts that are somewhat similar and she has styled them very smartly... maybe place to start for ideas:

I wanted the blue/white chevron-effect one too but it sold out! However, I'm not sure about business casual stylings, because the fold-over waist reads quite casual to me. Maybe a denim or chambray shirt, or a white button-down, would do the trick - depends on your office and comfort level. On my body the issue would be how to make everything work around the hip area. I'm now eyeing the finer striped ones at the gap in lieu of this one.

Thanks! I think a white button down could work. We do get quite casual at work, esp in the summer, so the skirt should be fine.

That's a lovely skirt and it looks like it has a slight A Line? A draped top a bit like that which Alicat was wearing in her post today..

How's the fabric opacity on that skirt? I want to order it in a couple of colors for the spring/summer, but I'm concerned about some of the comments that the material's quite thin. I don't want it revealing panty lines, "bumps", etc. I just ordered a different ON skirt (similar but with a drawstring top), and it's a bit thin and clingy. I'm probably going to return it, but first I'll try it with some longer tops to see if it's okay. I did order a foldover jersey skirt from the Gap, which will arrive soon, but it doesn't come in all the bright colors.
