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.

[TheHighwayCod]

do do you want long or short then>

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

[TheHighwayCod]

oh od on it iwll be too unfunky for you

[snowleopard]

Depends cod, I like some boden stuff.

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

[Gobbledigook]

What top fish?

[Gobbledigook]

Monsoon website have some nice tops

[snowleopard]

Yes let's see it anyway
have to start somewhere

[TheHighwayCod]

aqha this drapes really nicely
GG oyu haev sene it

[JackieNo]

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

[TheHighwayCod]

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

[Gobbledigook]

i tried this on yesterday

It's quite nice

[JackieNo]

Another one here ?

[TheHighwayCod]

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

[snowleopard]

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)

[TheHighwayCod]

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

[Gobbledigook]

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.

[TheHighwayCod]

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

[Gobbledigook]

i am very tempted by this one

[Gobbledigook]

pmsl cod!!

[TheHighwayCod]

get one for me while you are there [plase

[FrayedKnot]

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

[TheHighwayCod]

aha no its out of stock

[TheHighwayCod]

ah fk sister has one hthe same buit hte reddy one

[snowleopard]

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.

[JackieNo]

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

[TheHighwayCod]

i liek this please tell me tis VILE
