help me find a skirt!
Permalink Closed

the day before my wedding we are having a rehearsal in the morning and then a brunch following it. the restaurant is on the casual side, but it's a dressy occasion, so i am planning to wear a nice top with a skirt. i bought this top to wear and i love it, but i can't find a skirt to wear with it -


Diane von Furstenberg 'Gedra' Top


sorry for the giant photo, but it's the best way to see the colors of the top.


i'm looking for something knee length, preferable a-line in shape. the event is in mid-september, so i'd prefer nothing heavy like tweed. i'm not sure what color to go with - originally i was thinking cream would be nice, but i can't find any cream skirts. shame on me for waiting this long to look for something - now all of the fall merch is out in store. :(


anyone have any suggestions for a skirt to pair with this for a semi-dressy morning occasion? you all always have such great suggestions! :) thank you!

I think cream would look lovely- a classic, simple skirt.  You're right, though, it's hard to find cream stuff still in the stores!  None of these seem quite right to me, but maybe they will IRL!


From Talbots (color listed as "Vanilla Cream"- don't know what it will look like IRL):



J Crew:



Land's End (this comes in a cream color called "sterling"):


Ruffled Bias-cut Skirt


 


Land's End (overstock section):


Sateen Skirt


Ralph Lauren (don't know how "cream" this color is, but worth a shot!):



Lauren Moffat at Bluefly:



Espirit at Nordstrom (might be too casual?):



 


Ralph Lauren Black Label- Wrong material and way expensive, but it's just so lovely I had to post:



Gosh, this is really hard!  I feel like Ann Taylor or Ann Taylor Loft should have just the thing, but I can't find anything on those sites... maybe a brick and mortar store? I'll keep my eye out!
