What can I wear it with?

    I've noticed numerous threads with posters looking for advice on what to wear with pieces to make the most of them. I thought it would be a good idea to have one thread for specifically for this so we can share ideas and get inspiration from other posters :D (If it's ok with the mods ;))

    I ordered this floral corset from forever 21 and have absolutely no idea what to wear it with. I think it would be great for summer but want to avoid looking 'tarty; at all costs. I'm a size 8 and tall so I don't have to worry about cleavage spilling out. All tips appreciated!

    Good idea Sibylla!

    Bought this bag the other day, looking for nude/stone shoes to go with it... So excited! 491GL09541.jpg

    Sibllya,

    I would say just a pair of 3 quarter length puffy chinos, a hair of heels and a bun in the hair will make it that bit classy :D.

    That bag is gorgeous, I think it would look great with a pair of peeptoe heels like these
    from Asos.

    My friend has one just like it and it looks amazing with a plain block-colour high waisted skirt or shorts!

    Delivery is 6.00, 3-5 working days, I am expecting mine tomorrow! As far as I know you have to order online they don't accept phone bookings at the moment.

    Hey folks

    I have a dress very similar to this
    joan-holloway-blue-dress.jpg

    It's the same colour but just lacks the buttons down the front, same shape and all.

    Could I wear a pair of low red heels with it, do you think? And what kind of tights? :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 73 ✭✭imbroglio


    ^^gorgeous dress!

    Dunnes have a pair of low red heels for €12 that'd be perfect!

    :D I think those are the exact ones I have! Kinda swedey?

    The dress is amazing, cost me about 15 euro in Dunnes and makes me look like I am tall and have curves when I'm not and don't. :D

    Bumpety bump! I think it was a great idea by Sibylla to have a thread like this to keep a few of those "what to wear" questions all together, cos a lot of threads get lost where really good advice is given about certain bits of clothes!

    My question...what to wear with this that isn't a generic black top? :)

    I really love that skirt. If you ever shopped with MINA they always have unusual, gorgeous stock. I do agree with you wearing a plain vest with skirts gets really boring.

    Yes to the red heels. I would wear tights with a back seam! :)

    Dunno if this is a look you'd even consider but I just love these Batman t-shirts with the floral skirts. :)

    New Look, around 18 euro! :) Its actually shorts, but for the first time for any I've tried on, it easily passes for a skirt! That particular section in New Look has really good fitting playsuits and shorts :)

    Love the first top, thank you!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 740 ✭✭✭Sibylla


    Thank you, Must pop into new look they are very pretty and perfect for summer:):)

    The top is currently half price in MINA

    They're lovely! I think I'd put them with a cream or white chiffon-y blouse or flowy top of some description tucked in, something like this:

    Am tempted to get this blazer from Zara - just wondering what I could wear it with though?

    The cut of the blazer is very classic so you have endless options. For a casual look you could team it with flats and shorts. For work with black skinnies. For a more feminine look it would look gorgeous with a nice dress. You should definitely get it ;):D

    It would look great with a wrap dress like this

    bythewoods posted this top from Topshop, I think something in this style could be nice with it :)

    Hey all, I know there is a thread like this already but I can't seeem to find it so apologies.
    Anyway I bought this dress recently:
    DSC_0956.JPG

    and I need some advice on what colours to wear with it. Its fairly short on me, and I have no problem wearing it with bare legs/clear tights in nice weather.
    My problem is, if I want to wear it in cooler weather, what colour leggings/cardigan,should I wear with it? I've thought about white leggings but they seem a bit childish to me (Im 21) but maybe I'm wrong.
    Also, what shape of cardigan would look best? The shoulder/ruffle part is fairly wide. And what kind of shoes? I thought maybe wedges but again not sure what colour. sorry about all the questions.. :o
    Thanks! :)

    Some shoes from Asos- maybe navy leggings

    I recently bought a shirt in Penneys similar to this one,

    http://www.asos.com/River-Island/River-Island-Silk-Pocket-Shirt/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1563236&SearchQuery=blouses&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=200&sort=-1&clr=Cream

    Except it's a kinda burnt orange colour.

    Haven't a clue what to wear with it...anyone have any ideas?


  • Registered Users Posts: 713 ✭✭✭Cherry Blossom Girl


    Thanks Rosebush :-)
    Can one of the mods move this to the 'What can I wear with it?' thread please :-)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Indiego


    I bought this in Bershka yesterday (It was a steal at 15.99!)
    But, i dont really know what i should wear with it, i was thinking of either wedges or pumps (Im going to a garden party at the weekend, and was thinking of wearing it), but im not sure what i could wear over it to avoid looking overly bare :/
    Any advise?
    (By the way, it came with a cute little belt in the same colour, and its not actually as red as it looks in the picture, its more of a rusty orangy-red than a full on scarlet colour.)
    Thanks in advance :)
