Cute outfit DC. You always look fab. What is your toe-nail polish? I like it. I just bought some flip flop fantasy from China glaze last night. Love the bright colors.

Thank you, you're gonna make me blush . The nail polish is by Orly, unfortunately the sticker with the color name came off. But, it's bright fluorescent pink!!

Perfect!

Thanks CJY, glad to see you since I haven't see you around these parts lately.

Has anyone tried any of the following? Want to place an order!

Featherweight cashmere shortsleeve cardigan
Cashmere boyfriend sweater (worried it might run huge - size down?)
Basket weave bow shorts

Reviews/pics please! Thanks!

I haven't tried in any of these, but wanted to offer some advice on the quality of J. Crew's cashmere - its not the best. They've had many quality issues over the past few years and still can seem to get it right. I don't think it's worth it, full price. Perhaps at a deep discount with 30% off

Is it okay to wear a cream/off white top with a colored skirt to a wedding?

What do you all think of this top with colored belt paired with my green sequin skirt?

or this Zara top in blue or white with a colored belt?

The skirt is a bold piece, I think it would look best with a silk tank or camisole. But, if you do decide to go with a peplum, the one from Zara looks best.

The skirt is gorgeous!

I prefer the top from Zara, in white. I wouldn't pair the texture of the Anthro top with the texture from the sequins.

Thanks DC-Cutie & Dorcast!

I'm getting frustrated with this skirt! I came come up with a lot of casual ways to style this, but I'm struggling with the wedding.

I posted the question on polyvore and
Someone suggested the Anthropologie peplum top, nude pumps, yellow belt.
Another suggested this $1200 Marni top(way over my budget), nude pumps, beaded necklace.

 

[DC-Cutie]

the Marni top and necklace = FABULOUS. But not with the skirt.

How about a fitted thin v-neck sweater (not sure if the wedding is indoors or outdoor) or the yellow or blue blythe shirt with the nude heels?

Or maybe this top (tucked in or out)

The wedding is indoor, and I'm always cold...so a sweater would work. What color?

I saw the idea here, with this sequin skirt:

maybe in yellow or blue (like a turquoise). I'm picking these colors based off the color wheel:

Do you know how this sweater fits?

it fits a little loose, not boyfriend loose, but not fitted.

the Merino sweaters are fitted. I just wish the V-neck band wasn't so wide:

http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/vnecksandhenleys/PRDOVR~46164/46164.jsp

with a statement necklace it could look perfect, I just don't know if it will look too casual. KWIM?

Do you know if J Crew carries the Merino in other colors in store?
I think I'll make a trip to my local JC store tomorrow to try on a few.

Thanks for you help!

I know they do in the fall/winter, not certain if they have them now. I did see a table full of sweaters, don't know if they were cashmere or merino.

Take your skirt to, somebody may be able to help style it up.

Wait: I just had a vision

Which turquoise blue?

The lighter aqua?
http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/vnecksandhenleys/PRDOVR~29660/29660.jsp

or lustrous blue?

Is it bad that I'm going to be of ZERO help, since I like both Leaning more toward the vivd aqua, though.

If you skintone is more pale, i'd go for the lustrus. if you've got some color, the aqua.

I'm usually pale, blonde hair....but I've been tanning so I have color.
I like both too!

Boxermon, check out this blogger and how she styled her sequin skirt. I think it looks really nice. I also think a Jcrew tippi sweater would look nice if you want something more fitted and add a nice necklace. I think the main thing is to let the skirt do the talking and keep everything else quite simple. But make sure you have a cute clutch. When is the wedding? I will keep thinking of ideas.

Here is another post on sequin skirts.

I like the 3rd option for you. A sexy sheer blouse would be nice.
