Talk party tops to me please!

[snowleopard]

I need something to wear to parties, nights out etc over the christmas season - not that it's going to be a social whirl, just a few nights out, but I have nothing. I need a trinny and susannah style kick up the arse style challenge - I'm living in long-sleeved t-shirt tops because I alternately work at home or SAHM with DS every day. I love clothes, but my style is so casual and I'd like to look "dressed up" for once. Any ideas on styles or particular items to get me thinking - oh MN style mavens?

I generally go for quite funky/outre things eg I like retro prints and bright colours, I'm happy to consider sequinny things and so on - but just don't know where I am with drapey styles or anything other than a plain cut, and don't know what looks good.

I'm size 14-ish, tall with small norks.

do do you want long or short then>

if ou liek plain can i recommend the one i got ( unusually) from bOden

oh od on it iwll be too unfunky for you

Depends cod, I like some boden stuff.

I have a long (and now flabsome) torso so nothing too skimpily short.

What top fish?

Monsoon website have some nice tops

Yes let's see it anyway
have to start somewhere

aqha this drapes really nicely
GG oyu haev sene it

How about something like this - something that someone with small norks can wear that I couldn't.

go d tis so nice in rl
there a lionk that gets you 15% ioff somwhere too}

i tried this on yesterday

It's quite nice

Another one here ?

but agree if norks are small then you MUST be more adventruous

Oooh, surprising myself but actually I like all of these. Cod, in RL is that top long enough to cover the tum - and does "fluid" fabric cling to bumps? (I mean flab bumps, not lovely lady lumps)

do you want skiimpy or not
imo one eneds tow sorts of tops

What kind of fabric is it cod? Silky or jersey?

The purple is really nice but out of 8. Could try a 10 but their tops come out big I think. Green could be nice too.

no my tummy is like a topogrpahical map of the peak district.
it drapes
Johnny says so himslef

i am very tempted by this one

pmsl cod!!

get one for me while you are there [plase

Got a georgeous floaty tunic top from Principles - I am same size with medium norks...

here

Will probably wear over narrow jeans with heels

The colours look better in RL - it is quite sheer. You would need to be tall to wear it.

In fact they have some oterh lovely tops too.

HTH

aha no its out of stock

ah fk sister has one hthe same buit hte reddy one

skimpy as in revealing at the shoulder/neck/nork end is ok. but not short and muffin-revealing.

Johhny says all sorts of things Cod, I hope you're wise to his schemes.

Thanks all this is helping loads, keep them coming...

Oh and cod please elaborate on the 2 types of tops, as I have no clue.

And if you're really not scared of sequins, how about this

i liek this please tell me tis VILE
