Seconding cutsews, and blouses where the edges are frilled - pic related, the frills usually cover the waistline so if you have muffin top or a fully elastic waistband these will still look good. If it's a high-waisted skirt you can still tuck the blouse into the skirt.

For white shirts, wear a skin-tone cami underneath it, it's near-impossible to find white tops that aren't slightly sheer. You can also try pink or red cami, apparently people say the tones work, I've only done skintone.

I'm also going to add, if you have a lot of difficulties balancing the colours, or wrapping your head around issues with skirts, consider buying a vest or bustier that matches the skirt. Then you can treat the skirt+vest together and coord it exactly like a jsk (switching jsk, if that helps your brain). When you get tired of always coording with the vest/bustier, wear it with a blouse or buy another vest/bustier and get a new look out of it. Most of the burandos have past release bustiers/vests floating around secondhand, if you need them in a custom colour F+F can probably put together a decent one.
