Help - top needed to go with skinny jeans for meal out in London!

16 replies

DorsetLass · 04/03/2013 22:26

Please can someone direct me to a top that will go well with skinny jeansand heals, not be too clingy (as large meal planned and wobbly tum in need of hiding!) and is not too expensive? It seems like I have not worn anything nice in months - and we are meeting lots of friends in London for supper on sat. I am 5ft 7, size 10/12 and do need to to take moderate size (d cup) boobs.

Thanks!!!

Friends rave about Phase Eight - they have really nice smart tops which look fab with skinnies and are great at skimming over wobbly bits.

Not sure of the print of this but I do rate Warehouse silk tops highly, and it's a good shape for wearing under a blazer.

Or this

I love this from phase eight.

It looks really nice with skinny jeggings.

MadAboutHotChoc · 05/03/2013 19:09

Plenty of choice here:

How about this one? I tried it on in the shop and the fringe bit is quite fun and covers the tummy completely.

The only reason I didn't get it is because my friend and I both wanted it so we decided to leave it.

Yes - the fringe one is v nice irl.

Will try again tomorrow aftetnoon when - safely left it too late to order online. Thank you for all your help!! X

Ah dear. It's always the same when you go looking for things to buy. I only ever see things I like when I don't have any money!

Do you have a Debenhams near you? They've got a big sale on at the minute.

cream top-top shop, much prettier in the flesh.
