florally top to wear with A line denim skirt

Please can anyone help me find such a thing?

I have an A line knee length (ish) denim skirt with buttons up the front, nothing fancy but very comfortable and just the right length on me. I'd like to get a couple of tops that are more than casual vest t shirts and I'd like them to have colour/pattern rather than be plain. I am size 8, 5ft 2 and a half (very important that half when you're only 5ft 2 ish). I like v necks rather then crew necks, I don't mind sleeveless (now that I had lazer treatment on my under arms!! Yippee!).

TIA

John Rocha at Debenhams have got loads of little tops with a pattern here. You might find something that suits, and they've got a petite range.

thanks Ashbury. I shall take a look.

Er, can I ask where you got the skirt from? Sounds exactly the sort of thing I've been looking for!

wow, thank you KurriKurri. I like the yellow Top Shop one and the John Lewis one (although it's a tad dark) and i love the Zara ones but they are all only available in large sizes. I might try getting to a Zara store though. I'm not so keen on the Monsoon ones but that might be because I went Monsoon crazy 2 or 3 summers ago and it's taking me a while to get over the overdose Smile.

stillfrazzled, the skirt if from Oasis. I got it about 2 months ago now though, they have a similar one on the website but not this particular one.

thanks UML. I like the Ditsy Bow one at the bottom. I have a Phase Eight near me, I'll go there tomorrow and see what it looks like for real.

That ditsy bow one is a lovely colour - let us know if it's nice in real life Smile

I love so many of those tops - but I would love to find things with a bit more sleeve (to hide my upper arms lol)

and cheaper :(

they didn't have that top in my small local one KurriKurri. It might have to wait until i can get to a John Lewis or something now or else I go for it and order on line. I'll decide later tonight Smile
