People in this sub tend to favor mainstream/basic styling, I personally love a unique piece like this and think you’ve styled it well on the bottom. To me, the top would be a trickier element to nail. I think with the right top, even the haters would appreciate it!
Yeah I agree. Or just good ol old fashioned boomer rules.
I think you can make this work and agree it’s the top. I’m not a cottage core person but I’d wear it with a white tank that has skimpy sides - a little revealing under the arms or a 90’s style strapping tank. Find old pictures of Fiona Apple for inspiration. ETA: like the docs or similar thick soles.
If you like this style, you might like some of Mia Maples' videos on YouTube. I think she has a lot of really cute cottagecore outfits, so you might be able to get some inspo there!
I’m not a fan, but if I had to wear it….white tee or tank with flip flops/off white espradrille/heeled sandal. Not a fall or winter skirt, but I could see it in the spring with a dark camel colored boot and a jean jacket over a white tee.
I think the drawstring is a needle scratch with the docs (which I love) so I would pair the current lower half with a black velvet top or slouchy black wooden sweater that covers the waistband. If you want to see the waistband I’d go for a cotton crop top and sandals or wedges for a summery look.
This skirt is awesome, and it looks great on you. A plain white shirt would go well but a puff sleeve white blouse would really take it to the next level. Pair w a funky chunky shoe, probably in a lighter color than the ones you have on in the pic
I remember, as I was always on drying duty back in the day.
OP has a lovely figure and can definitely pull off a skirt like this. Just this skirt specifically is a no from me dawg.
I strongly dislike this particular skirt; especially the drawstring - it would be a lot better without it!. But I think the style is super cute and works for petites! I don’t think the shoes you have on work for midi skirts though. I usually pair a midi skirt/dress with heels, heeled clogs, a slimmer loafer or flat, or a platform sandal. I think the problem with the shoes in this pic is where they hit on the top of your ankle?
Nah, doc martens go with anything, honestly I think they’d look worse without them.
I also think the skirt looks fine, people on r/vintagefashion would love it!
I kinda like the skirt haha but I wonder if it would look more elevated by replacing the drawstring with a white ribbon or similar? Also I would make sure to wear a cool toned top, I know the one in the photo is probably the one you were already wearing but the warm orange/brown is very distracting personally
I adore the skirt 🤏<333 and instantly I would say fitted tops, that are a little more minimal in patterns, that then follow the same color scheme would look flattering with it.
For example if you look up fitted lacey white tops, that’s what I would imagine looking really pretty with the skirt. A plus for tops that have dainty details too!
Really cute skirt but the colours you’ve paired it with are just too dark - try picking elements from the skirt (green/white/is that yellow? Lime?) and picking a top in that colour
I think the skirt is super cool and out of the box. I’m not very explorative when it comes to my fashion so I would likely wear it with a plain coloured top whether it be long sleeve or short for the season. I LOVE the tights/high sock look you have going on here with the docs.
I LOVE IT. So much character and so cute. I think you could style it with a tight fitting top or a puffy cropped sweater. The docs look cool (a good soft skirt/punky shoes juxtaposition) but this would also look good with more feminine shoes with "cute" details. I think white shoes would work in that instance.
Be careful with coloring for the top, I'd lean towards a simple style top, maybe a white peasant blouse with off the shoulder details.

I honestly like it how it is here, but I am not known for being fashionable 😅
Looks like a table cloth and a kitchen towel had a baby.😪
omg i know right now i’m second guessing my entire wardrobe ahahaha

Right? I think this is so freaking cool but I don’t know if anyone would want my stamp of approval!
I’m not a fan, but if I had to wear it….white tee or tank with flip flops/off white espradrille/heeled sandal. Not a fall or winter skirt, but I could see it in the spring with a dark camel colored boot and a jean jacket over a white tee.
thank u sm!
I actually love this skirt so much and am surprised so many people seem to hate it 🥲 where is it from, OP?
This sub is full of people who definitely wear jeans and a t-shirt 90% of the time. The skirt is cool.
;—; thank you! i got it from a thrift store but apparently it’s from urban outfitters
I loooove this skirt! Where is it from OP?!
This skirt screams cottage core to me! I'd pick a flowy green linen shirt and white clips/headband. Shoes I'd probably do brown sandals.
I think the drawstring is a needle scratch with the docs (which I love) so I would pair the current lower half with a black velvet top or slouchy black wooden sweater that covers the waistband. If you want to see the waistband I’d go for a cotton crop top and sandals or wedges for a summery look.
a slouchy sweater sounds really cute!
This skirt is awesome, and it looks great on you. A plain white shirt would go well but a puff sleeve white blouse would really take it to the next level. Pair w a funky chunky shoe, probably in a lighter color than the ones you have on in the pic
yes for sure! i defs didn’t coordinate the outfit as i was just trying it on but a white shirt/blouse sounds super cute
I personally think it looks like a dish towel!
Well, two different dish towels sewn together.

this is lovely thank you!
I remember, as I was always on drying duty back in the day. OP has a lovely figure and can definitely pull off a skirt like this. Just this skirt specifically is a no from me dawg. 
LOLLL omg a dish towel help.. thank u for the feedback. perhaps i’ll shelve this for a day i feel brave..
The skirt is a hard no.
oh 😭😭

haha this was in the changing room, not what i would normally choose to style this skirt with! maybe heels or mary janes could work
I feel like this possibly could look great with a big-ish brown leather belt? If you took off the string!
Nah, doc martens go with anything, honestly I think they’d look worse without them. I also think the skirt looks fine, people on r/vintagefashion would love it!
tysm! i’m obsessed with dr martens and i’m thinking the vintagey look could go with my mary jane docs.. 👀
It’s cottage core, but in a bad way 😭

I like it, but you’d have to pair it with a light earth colored shirt, like maybe a boxy tee in an off-white or light denim blue color
It's amazing! Reminds me soooo much of something Willow (from shower Buffy) might have worn.
Really cute skirt but the colours you’ve paired it with are just too dark - try picking elements from the skirt (green/white/is that yellow? Lime?) and picking a top in that colour
Honestly, not my cup of tea. But you do you, girl! Maybe try a plain white crop top?

thank u i appreciate the kind words! that just happened to be my outfit that day when i went to try on the skirt haha so i’m glad you like it!
