I like it best with the white T. Have you tried it with a crisp, white shirt? (My answer to everything, courtesy of Carolina Herrera.) The only thing I can think of is that the belt seems a bit narrow against the width of the top band. <br />Yes ... I have a beautiful Asian print blouse that just swallows me whole and looks dowdy on me, but cool on everyone I've seen wear it. I recently fished it out of the "toss" pile ... TWICE.

When I have something in my closet that I dislike, I give it to my Cousin and she always make it work.

And I think Glenda has a very good idea - try it. If it doesn't work for you still, then of course it's time to go separate ways - with things or people... And yes, I like you give things (or people) a million of "second chances". Sometimes, too many.

I spent money buying things to compliment it, tried half my wardrobe. Took me 11 outfits before one blogger friend styled it perfectly for me and before I found one outfit with the jacket myself. So in the end I made it, but gosh that was difficult. I thought the skirt looked rather nice in "The climb up the retaining wall and look in the distance". Loved your descriptions. I have a favourite one too: push up your hair with both hands.<br />GreetjeNo Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911263874197265010.post-27787495926717987892015-03-03T05:01:39.711+08:002015-03-03T05:01:39.711+08:00You have such beautiful style, so simple and weara...You have such beautiful style, so simple and wearable, and yet so stylish and outstanding <3<br />Oh, and I'm so jelous of this pictures, you must have really warm weather there.saTanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569167908659884729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911263874197265010.post-50916137951695511332015-03-03T04:44:50.016+08:002015-03-03T04:44:50.016+08:00Hi Elsie, with skirts that have an interesting wai...Hi Elsie, with skirts that have an interesting waistline, it is best to keep the top simple and preferably smooth. Try wearing a simple, white fitted tshirt or tank. And I emphasize fitted. That way your top is competing with the waistline. Keep the other pieces simple. The skirt is actually quite nice. I think you're trying to add too much to it.Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234209134434888157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911263874197265010.post-69087027709331627152015-03-02T22:44:30.332+08:002015-03-02T22:44:30.332+08:00Hello lovely!!
