Many many thanks for all your help everyone!
Isn't Mumsnet a wonderful thing?

woo-hoo!

which colour in the end?

It's grey which I thought was beigeon first brief gaze. It's lovely.
unfortunately, huge norks make it strain a bit so I might try another branch for a bigger size.
I actually bought quite a few nice tops. I have been converted. Primark is brilliant, although a lot of the nice stuff was in really small sizes. Methinks it is probably best to go a lot to get the best pickings. It's a pity I'm so lazy. shopping for me is a leisurely affair which involves Starbucks and large cakes. I should really go on a diet.
