I've got a significant birthday soon let's pretend I'm going to be 30, and a party to go with it.

I've bought these trousers in teal, which I love: www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Clearance/Womens-Trousers-Jeans/Trousers/WM343/Womens-Wow-Bistro-Crop.html But I'm lost about what to wear as a top?

I'm a vibrant autumn, so want to avoid the obvious black. I'm size 10, and a bit pear-y.

Why did you buy them if you had no idea what to wear with them! I JUST DONT GET THIS

redredread · 17/10/2014 22:23

bettymoody because they are gorgeous, and because I needed to start the outfit somewhere. I have got tops I can wear, but I'd prefer to wear something I really like

I would take them with you and go shopping. Take armfuls of tops into the changing rooms and try them on with the trousers.

Have you sorted your shoes?

I think something silvery grey or soft gold would look lovely with those. Try Wallis

I think cream top, waistband skimming boxy top or maybe sonething with a petty collar - again cream

What will you be doing and where?

Thanks all. I found this on the Wallis website: gold top, which I'm going to order to try. Thanks medented - Wallis wasn't on my radar (even though I used to have a Saturday job there)

I have bistro crops and that top might be too long. I tend to wear mine with fitted jumpers that reach just below the waistband or tops like this in the cream might work.

BETTYMOODY is living up to her name.......

Thanks lucked. I love that top, but it's not available in my size.
