Lovely colour.

How about this lyocell ruched T shirt from Jigsaw with gold or silver jewellery in either the blue or cream depending on your colouring?

I think that the material is too fine on the Jigsaw one, it will clin to every lump.

I never think to look at Warehouse. I might see what Whistles have as well.

Hmm yes - I wear a camisole under my Jigsaw one - but they are wool so could be too hot on a night out.

Also saw this on Mint Velvet - subtle so could be dressed up and would also last into Summer (if we get one that is?)

Or this one?

It's a shirt (saw your other post) but could be dressed up for evening?

chocolateteabag · 24/02/2011 21:12

oooh or this All Saints top - if you really want something special (it's £140)?

kittya · 24/02/2011 21:31

H&M have a lovely t-shirt top with some small sparkley stud-type bits on it, loose fitting "band" along the bottom along the lines of the Coast one in Tilly's post (2nd one down). I bought one to go with my skinny jeans and got lots of compliments. I'm sorry - don't know if my link below will work:

it's on the 4th page along, £14.99. Hope you have a great night out!

leopard
tiger
with bow
as seen on Cristine Bleakley and a newsreader I can't remember her name though.
actually there's quite a few I could link to on the same page. I love Zara blouses with skinny jeans.

CDMforever · 25/02/2011 20:07

Tillyscoutsmum, I LOVE the Jasper Conran gold top - am going to try and track it down tom morning!!
Well Done!

Tillyscoutsmum · 25/02/2011 20:13

one more sleeveless with cover up options

kittya · 25/02/2011 23:28

The Jasper Conran one isnt in my size Sad How do Zara tops fit? Im a generous 14 on top. I havent got time to try on so can only order a couple on line. Thanks for the ideas, I will have a good look tomorrow night.

Tillyscoutsmum the gold top is lovely but the cover up looks like something from dancing on ice.

kittya · 27/02/2011 11:42

I will have a look in H and M today but, Ive really got off that place. My local one is like a jumble sale.

kittya · 28/02/2011 13:52

back to the drawing board today. I am working until the weekend. I will probably have to order online.
