Right, I have a wedding to go to in October, evening reception, in Scotland (for weather considerations :)). I have a really nice pair of black wide legged trousers hanging unworn in my wardrobe and need a top half to go with it. Help me find something.

I am 5"1, Pale, Short bobbed dark brown almost black hair, busty(G Cup), probably hourglass shaped, I'm slimmest under my bust. I've just had a baby so still quite a little bit self concious about my tummy area.

Criteria
Size 16/18/20 I vary from shop to shop, bloody nightmare
Colourful ( I have a wardrobe full of black)
I'm BFing, top doesn't have to be friendly, but not too revealing as I'm likely to fall out of it.
At least top half of arms covered
I think I would prefer tunic style,
Must be under £60

I am a bag and shoe-a-holic so have pretty much every colour combination covered so don't need to worry about that.

Can you help?? Pretty please, :o

this?

GlaikitFizzog · 29/08/2011 11:47

Oooh, sorry I've not been back, real life called!! Thank you!

Faux I like the Blue one and the caramel belted one, but DHs kilt is Black and gold, maybe a bit matchy? I haven't checked out very before, will have nose round later!

Onelily, yep really like the Phase8 one. Miss Selfridge is one of the shops I can't buy in!! But that is really nice.

Noddy I REALLY like that very Me! But it's black! I'm fed up looking like I'm in mourning :o!

oo fauxfox - I was going to suggest the min velvet one - like this one too - www.mintvelvet.co.uk/lipstick-satin-cowl-neck-topmint-v/fcp-product/1371.

Not sure if both tops are a bit on the long side for wide trousers??

onelily · 29/08/2011 12:31

noddyholder--i so love that top..i am sure ordering that one..Do you have any idea whether its available in any different colours?

GlaikitFizzog · 29/08/2011 12:58

I love that colour tracy, but i would need a cardi or something to cover mt bingo wings upper arms!

Leaf print

fever black possibly too low necked?

good colour

TracyK · 29/08/2011 13:50

A wee bit of fake tan and a few tricep dips in the hour before the wedding - would be fine - or throw a pashmina round yourself I think those sleeves will be quite flattering.

GlaikitFizzog · 29/08/2011 14:20

Ooh like the Chandelier top Taps, but black! I could put a cami vest on underneath to catch any cleavage spillage! See this is why I have a wardrobe full of black stuff!! It's all there is out there!!

TracyK are you a clothing sales assistant!! You are selling it to me! I have a black or royal blue pashmina. Blue might clash too much.

Are you near a House of Frasers? Mint Velvet are stocked there - and you could try on in RL.

Unless you could get an exact match of red - I'd go for black pashmina. Try a tie rack or M&S - they have a full range of the spectrum pashmina type things. But tbh - I don't think you'd need it - the sleeves are flattering.

GlaikitFizzog · 29/08/2011 19:47

Hmm is Jenners HoF?? I may just have to bite the bullet and face the shops with DS in the pram!!

Jenners is House of Fraser

GlaikitFizzog · 30/08/2011 12:10

Damn you Tethersend I want the Kimono top! I have shoes and a bag that would match that perfectly!! DH would kill me if I spent that much on a top!
