Nice lacey going out vest or top?

9 replies

I'm going out tomorrow night which is rare for me and need a 'going out' top to wear with some skinny jeans (prob dark purple ones that I already have).

I thought a nice cream lacey type top might be good. I ordered this from Miss Selfridge which has just arrived, and it just looks like I'm wearing net curtains! Not nice at all, and it's not very fitted (and I ordered two sizes for comparison) so looks too casual.

So, please can anyone help me to find a nicer alternative that I can order today and will arrive tomorrow? I could venture to the shops tomorrow morning if necessary. I have nothing in my wardrobe currently that looks right with my jeans! It doesn't have to be cream necessarily, but I can't really spend too much, hopefully no more than £30.

I'm 31, size 10-12 and 5ft 2 so nothing too long.

Thank you all!

This?

Thanks for the suggestion - I like it but think that it may also look a bit net curtainy on me! I'm sure if someone like Fearne Cotton wore it, it would look cool, but on me it would just look frumpy.

Maybe I need to re-think what I'm looking for, maybe a touch of lace rather than full on lace would be better!

I know what you mean re curtains. If you went for a colour instead of cream it might help that?

a bit more fitted?
if you like peplum

Thank you for all of the other suggestions!

I think the Dorothy Perkins one is my fave. I decided against ordering online as I find it too difficult to judge so I'm hitting the shops tomorrow morning to see what I can find. I'll report back if I succeed in my mission!

So, I had a look around the shops this morning and ended up with this from H&M in in white - very basic but gives me some money left over to buy drinks tonight Grin Don't worry I have a cardi and jacket to wear over it

I don't look anywhere near as hot as the model on the link though.
