AdorkableAnn Posted February 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hello everyone, I go on my first cruise as an adult this upcoming summer. I really want to get into the whole experience including the two formal nights, however I am and always have been a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. I found this beautiful skirt and bought it, now what would you guys suggest for a top to pair it with? I am busty and I prefer my arms upper arms covered. Thank you for any advice!!

I’m very conscientious of my upper arms right now because of muscle loss due to surgery and I’m loving the new open shoulder tops. Maybe something tropical looking?

awhfy Posted February 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The cold shoulder look would look great with that skirt also a tank with a sparkly jacket Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor_Sally Posted February 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I would look at several websites Macy's , Lord &Taylor , Dillards to see what they pair their dressy long skirts with .This may give you some great ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskanb Posted February 10, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Maybe look on Amazon for evening tops/blouses made by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancun01 Posted February 11, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 11, 2018 white or cream color blouse with full sleeves, or a tank with matching jacket. Beautiful skirt.

Agree! Seeing what they are putting with their dressy long skirts would be helpful to you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberSky Posted February 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I would do a plain black top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2018 There are MANY "evening" tops...something with a bit of sparkle! Gold, black, cream, even silver would be beautiful! Something that comes over the waist of the skirt, but not too long. Definitely look at dept. stores, either in person, or online and see what's out there!

ohnonotmeagain Posted March 27, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Really??? for a formal night...what would you wear with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelChick69 Posted April 11, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Really pretty skirt! I would go with an off the shoulder drapey top in either black or white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted April 12, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 12, 2018 $1.68 Walmart OP stated she wants her arms covered so a cami is the least likely option for her. She also said she's busty, and a fitted cami can be very unforgiving for large-busted girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted April 12, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The first thing I thought of when I saw the skirt was a a black lace top. Maybe something with a bell sleeve if you can find it...keeps arms covered yet isn't as "boring" as a fitted sleeve. A matte jersey top with some metallic thread in in would be cute too.

dd likes to cruise Posted April 12, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Try on some different top and blouses on from your closet. Don’t worry about color right now and just see what styles and shapes look good with it. Then go look in the golds, silver, blacks in the style that looks best.

Queen of Oakville Posted April 12, 2018 #17 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'd go with a glittery/sparkly/sequin tank in a gold or silver. If you want to cover your arms, add a shawl, blazer or sweater. You might even be able to find a glittery tank/sweater set. I'd try places like chico's or WHBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that and was about to post "hey don't worry, Queen of Oakville already found it for you...a black lace top with bell sleeves, just like I pictured in my mind!" And the thing about that particular top is that back home, or even on another night on the cruise, you could easily dress it down for a less formal night by pairing it with a pair of white jeans, white pants, dark wash jeans. You could also pair it with some dressy black pants for a monochromatic look. (I don't typically care for lace for myself, but after reading my suggestions above, I may have to go over to WHBM today and try this top on if my local store has it in stock, LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted April 13, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I would buy the first and second options fromWHBM and you have both nights covered. Both tops would also look good with a black or white skinny jean or Capri. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
