this top. Is it sexy or tedious?

[ReallyReally]

here with bright red pencil skirt? I have medium boobage, and a tummy I think could benefit from a bit of medicinal rouching, and I have a gorgeous black and red necklace

I fear tediousness, am torn between something insanely boho and this, which I am hoping is grown-up sexy, for casual evening

any advice welcome

[BloodyStranglingwithBling]

i like it.

But... I'm not terribly stylish. So putting my 2p in, while being happy to have people tell me I'm wrong.

[balismum]

gorgeous. and good price reduction too.

[Anna8888]

I think it is boring.

East is for old ladies

[ReallyReally]

no it is not v exciting I accept - however skirt is v exciting - it is RED VELVET what's not to be excited by. Someone on an earlier thread, when I was talking about getting it shortened, suggested a lovely top but I feared it may upstage the fantastic velvetty fantasticness of the skirt

I like things that I can get wear out of. Also I like reductions! I am playing safe I guess... oh I'm going to wait and see what it looks like

thanks everyone

it's not sexy it is sensible

[ReallyReally]

well I have looked and looked and can't find anything else suitable that will go with my skirt. DID I TELL YOU ABOUT MY SKIRT?!!

[lou33]

sorry i wasnt meaning to sound rude

the skirt sounds v nice

[TskullsScreaming]

I think it's a really nice everyday top (especially like the grey). Good price too.

Ok for casual evening but I wouldn't say especially sexy.

You need something like this

or

this

If you have a sexy clingy velevt skirt go all the way with a cling top too, leave out or tuck in skirt if you can.

High shoes too.

[VASTlargeginandbloodymary]

Gah River island link did not work, will try again

this one

[VASTlargeginandbloodymary]

Poo

Go in to Women, scroll down for tops, pick smart blouses\shirts and it is the satin frill one.

[TskullsScreaming]

Ah well now you've described the skirt I think maybe yes a plainer top would be a good idea. A red velvet pencil skirt sounds v sexy. You wouldn't need much embelleshment of that. Do you have a link?

Why not send for the jumper anyway and see. You have lovely high shoes too, I hope?

[VASTlargeginandbloodymary]

Good grief LL that first one looks like half a mermaids body

Like the vlack sparkly cardi though.

I think go bling too, what shoes are you wearing?

[ReallyReally]

yeesss... if only I were tall and slim! I don't think I can pull off that much bling tbh. I want to be a bit strokeable I think. I've ordered another top off East which is a chiffony thing with a tank top body, in black, but they don't have my size (12) so unless their sizes come up big or small I'll be sending the 10 and the 14 straight back

I need to buy shoes. But I think we are talking New Look shoes rather than anything pricey. I have about 5p to my name . I'd like something high, but not too high. I have t walk everywhere, and I live up a hill

[VASTlargeginandbloodymary]

Oooh shoe challenge.

LOL at LL linking a top she wouldnt wear herself

You are tall are you not LL? SOH on my postnatal thread is in love with that farcking Tweed jacket, she has asked us all to club together and get it for her Xmas pressie.

[ReallyReally]

gosh

[notyummy]

I second/third all the 'bit boring' votes I'm afraid. Looks nice enough for during the day or wearing to work, but not if you want to look fab in the evening. Loving some of the suggestions though....and a size 12 is perfectly slim lady; don't do yourself down!

[CountessDracula]

Really dull sorry

[notyummy]

Wow blinks, some of those tops are LOVELY.
