Please help me find some nice cheap tops for a postnatal summer...

dc2 due in a few weeks, and I want to buy a couple of things to wear so that I don't get too depressed about the deflated Yorkshire pudding body!

I'm going to get some jeggings (thinking about these in indigo and black, if anyone has them are they good?) til I fit back in my skinnies and need two or three nice tops to wear with them.

I will be about a size 14 postbaby, only 5'3", with GIANT boobs (up to 32H already, sigh) and should be breastfeeding so need something that I can wear a vest under/cardigan over and that is easy to lift up and will cover my shocking tummy!

I quite like blouses, look horrid in shirts, and empire lines are NOT my friend. My favourite colours for tops are green, navy, black, grey, yellow and purple but I'm not really that fussy :)

Ideally I don't want to pay more than about £25 but could be persuaded for the right garment! I've had a bit of a browse online this morning but not found much, so hope some of you lot can help!

I'm in the same position as you, so no advice, but keeping an eye here for tips. I personally won't be wearing jeggings though as my legs have also expanded massively. I am thinnking scoop necked tops. I was going to see what they have in Gap at the moment as there is a 30% code around for this weekend, and in previous years have found cotton tops in either topshop or french connection which are a bit smocky (although possibly not very flattering with huge breastfeeding boobs).

M&S have some quite nice smocky tops, but the colours were a bit weird for me (orange, pale blue, not with my skin!). They've also got nice stripy scoop neck t shirts on offer, but my tummy won't be up to those until at least next summer :) There's a 30% off code for Gap online doing the rounds, I don't like their stuff for me but buy a lot of kids stuff from them, I deleted it as there was nothing I wanted but I bet someone will post it on S&B somewhere...

Thankfully my legs have remained the same, I am the sort of build that means I have to wear either tight top or tight bottoms or I look enormous :)
