Ok fashionistas….

[KristinaM]

Your advice needed please. I?m going to a wedding in May and need to update the only decent outfit I have in my wardrobe that fits me post baby. It's a winter white jacket, softly tailored and black linen type fabric trousers. I have black shoes and black/white bag but I need a new top. The one I have is too wintery. What do you advise? It has to go over a nursing bra (you all know how glamorous they are ) so nothing strapless, halter neck or too flimsy please.

I forgot it's Mothers day next week!

My present must be a trip shopping I think!

If you're really, really strapped for cash, NewLook is good for a trendy top. Might be worth it to have a browse round TESCO or ASDA as well.

OOOh that kimono top is gorgeous!!! Suspect i would look like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle though. I can look terrible even in something that cost £120.

You guys have such good ideas though. Am tempted by that M&S cardi (never thought i would say that, even at my age). Can't remember when I last bought something from M&s except the Per Una range

[KristinaM]

One question - Trinny and Sus told me i shoudlnt wear wedges because i have skinny ankles and legs.

The one part of me that doesn't seem to be storing fat for Bf.....

I was surprised by M&S cardi too! I usually don't like their stuff, but thats FAB, I would get it in the mint colour.

Forget T&S if you have nice legs you can wear anything on your feet

If you are wearing trousers nobody will see your legs.

[Demented]

That is unless they are drainpipes, then maybe no to the wedges.

[KristinaM]

ROFL Demented - no they are not drainpipes - they are tasteful straight leg black linen trousers. Maybe called palazzo pants? I am so top heavy , if i wore drainpipes & wedges I would look like I was falling over

[Demented]

You'll look lovely!

Go for some strappy sandals then KM.

Go mad and get that Kimono top, I dare you. Just one thing don't tell me if you do because I will be rather jealous!

Another thing I have just thought of is that Topshop have their own personal shopper service now so you could go in and get some ideas.

[expatinscotland]

you can't go wrong w/palazzo style trousers! they are very flattering. and look very nice w/a wrap top.

[KristinaM]

Top Shop have personal shoppers for their elderly customers????

I would second a camisole/cardi-thing combination. I went to a wedding when LO was 10 weeks and had humungous breasts and the nursing bra problem. I found a camisole with thicker straps if that makes sense and got the matching cardi to go with it (in a very similar green to one in the link). It wasn't what I would normally go for but felt good and the cardi was helpful for more discrete feeding! I got my bits from East, quite expensive but DH treated me.

[KristinaM]

Thanks Pootlepod, have never tried East but will have a look when i am in town. Is it pseudo ethnic, a bit like Monsoon? Please tell me its cheaper?????
