need help designing a look (feel free to post photos of something you put together)

I recently reached CP160 and want to craft a set of light armor (julianos) for my altmer warden. I have looked at every google image of ancestor silk armor until I'm going crazy

I'm looking for some ideas. I do not want a full length dress. I do a lot of quests and farming and I don't see my character walking around brambles in a full length skirt! I don't like the piece of fabric that hangs down just in front. I would not mind it if it kind of blends in to the sides or is part of a short skirt or tunic. I like the assassins league style with the pants because it looks like something someone might actually wear for adventuring but the down side is the hand print on the chest and that I'd have to have someone craft it for me.
I guess my top contender right now is the khajiit shirt, maybe khajiit pants (or some basic tight leather or tight canvas looking pants) some calf covering lace up boots (ideas?)? I don't like the khajiit stile boots or gloves and I'm kind of ambivalent on the shoulders.

sorry this is a bit rambling, I'm really hoping to hear some ideas or see some pics of any ideas. TIA!!!!

I debated posting this in general instead of crafting, if I should move it there please let me know.

This is my warden. I used the Draugr light top and Mazzatun legs, arms and shoes.

The hat I got from a crown crate and found it matched the outfit. The belt and shoulders are Ysgramor. Anyway I think she looks great and I have gotten several whispers asking me what costume I am wearing

How about Abah's Watch light chest?

Order of the Hour and Grim Harlequin are the Motifs you need to look at.

Ignore the stats, I didn't feel like cropping an old picture, but this is my Julianos setup.

Chest and legs are Xivkyn (the chest may be medium, but the light jerkin is very similar), "gloves" are Mazzatun, shoes I think are Abah's Watch, and I honestly don't remember what the belt was... but I tend to not care about belts because they're so tiny.

Xivkyn is my favorite style, I make almost every crafted chest in it. But always the jerkins. Not a big robe person. It does have the flap of fabric in front, though.

I will buy Grim Harlequin if/when it comes out for Witches Festival. I am not sure if it would be worth it to find a crafter to make it for me at this point since it isn't much longer to go. I really like Order of the Hour pants, shirt is ok, wonder how it would pair with Khajiit shirt, but no sandals
