I dont know where to shop or what to buy....

[MNTotoro]

I had my style/colours done afew months ago by Colour Me Beautiful (I am cool & warm, and a soft inverted triangle)

It was really useful but since I've done it I cant seem to find anything to buy. I desperately need some new tops for Autumn and I cant see anything that I like AND would suit me.

Feeling a little lost....

Should point out I am 5'2 and have huuuge norks, so am also limited in that way.

Bravissimo do clothes that fit over the large of nork, if that's any good!

Had forgotten about Bravissimo. Used to shop then when I was working. Will take a look.

Couldn't find anything. Just spent ages on John Lewis website and still cant see anything.

Think I need to hibernate for the autumn/winter

What kind of style/colours do you like Toturo? Have you seen anything you vaguely like and then link to that?
I have spent a while looking for tops lately and huge of nork too so perhaps we can help each other.

Hi AQ

I quite like Empire line tops. Plainish - not patternered although the odd embellishment is fine.

Always v-neck.

Previously I have liked John Rocha, Red Herring, Wallis, (some) Next.

And colour-wise tend to go for (any) blue, red, green, orange. Brights, not muted.

Will have a look through my bookmarks tonight and see if there's anything that fits the bill. Presumably you've checked all of those shops and nothing?

Yep :)

Is this anywhere near? Red, empire line, plain.
white stuff v neck t??

AQ - The first top is lovely but the colour is a bit dull. I go for more postbox reds :)

The second top is lovely too but again the colour isnt quite right. Will look at the whitestuff website now though.

BTW, what clothes are you after?

Hmm, I think the colours at present are fairly muted, grey the colour of the season as far as I can tell. Shall keep my eye out for you!
I need an entire new wardrobe, I don't know where to start but losing several stone would probably help before I bought anything! Sigh...

I like this one which is similar to the one you mentioned www.whitestuff.com/SS-REUNION-TEE-P27615/ sadly, it is out of stock in my size.

Thanks AQ - I know your right about the colours. I just cant wear grey tops at all though. I'll look for muted greens and blues I think.

I eed to lose about a stone too. Sigh.

I think you'd look good in muted colours too, would you consider smallish pattern? I don't think grey suits many people, it never has me.
Have you checked John Lewis for that top, they stock White Stuff (House of Fraser might too, not sure).

Hey I thought you wanted l/s tops! Try Fatface for similar s/s tops maybe?

Haha - happy with s/s tops too.

Would consider small pattern, but not big.

I often where muted blues and greens so no biggie with the colours.

Will check John Lewis.

I quite like this but it is much busier pattern than I would normally go for. Would I look like a heifer in it? www.johnlewis.com/88009/Style.aspx

Also, what is white stuff siaing like?

I just noticed they dont do it in a size 16 so dont worry.

It think it's lovely, wouldn't describe it as busy by any means, perhaps keep looking for something like it? Monsoon usually do a lot of mock wrap tops. not sure about this but bright?

AQ -I have a top that is almost identical to that one in an emerald green. It is lovely, from Laura Ashley.

I will check out Monsoon and L Ashkly today.

Ph, it was Laura ashley? It is my top - just in new colour

That is quite amusing Toturo! Have you found anything you fancy yet?

Hi AQ

In the interests of my sanity I have ordered a few bits from (sssshhh) asda direct. It cost me about £40 for 4 tops and a pair of jeggings. They arent empire line but they're simple tops in colours I like (pale blue, black, and an orangey colour).

I'm going to wait until the Autumn/Winter stuff comes in and then review properly.
