endless hunt for a 'going out' top - can you help?

DerbyNottsLeicsNightNanny · 30/12/2012 22:40

Have been searching for a going out top to wear with black or blue skinnies for AGES! Dont go out very often so need something suitable for any time of year, thinking black but open to other colours too. Sparkle/bit of bling OK as long as not too OTT.

Not high necked (like so many tops are at the mo?), pref v neck or scoop neck. Pref sleeve of some kind rather than a strappy vest kind of thing.

I can spend up to around £100 but despite this budget I have really been struggling, I ordered a load of stuff from Mint Velvet but the necklines (all seemed to be high-ish round necks) just do nothing for me.

I am 34, size 8-10 (more 10 at the mo), 5' 3" not skinny, smallish boobs but decent cleavage with good/padded bra, broad-ish shoulders.

Any ideas??!?!?

I haven't seen anything specific for you but I'm a similar size and would go to Mango, oasis, warehouse or John Lewis.

There's a sequinned top on sale at M and S at the month. All 'dull' bronze/ gold sequins.

I was searching for exact same thing as op few weeks ago and ended up getting something ok in new look of all places!

Black, cowl scoop neck, nice back dearail, long with a bit of crystal detail on the shoulders

I got a leopard print see through blouse/tunic for my works do, from Wallis. Collarless, v neck, 3/4 sleeves I got loads of compliments. DH told me I looked like Kat from EE but apparently that was a compliment too Hmm.

I was surprised at how nice the Wallis stuff was, I'd never thought of looking there before.
