Next drape top. I love thee

[BrendaandEddie]

Ok looks kinda average workwear. However avoid the advise to size down and it looks great with a pleather skinny.

Brilliant draping is very flattering over the waist.the v gives a hint of cleavage in a nice way and its long enough.

And it's cheap.

it was the same shape, it's everywhere. still i may get one for mil for xmas

try it

That looks lovely, I may have to venture into next tomorrow, what sort of shoes would you wear with those sparkly trousers, I can't wear heels? :(

i like the flat ghillie style ones

Those do look nice actually, I struggle with flats that aren't boots or trainers, I'll give those a whirl too, thank you!

AHOY CAPTAIN. how did you get on? They are very thin on the ground indeed. I managed to get a 10 and 12 I'm going to put on eBay if you don't want them

the high waisted version was everywhere and I managed to ask an assistant for help who turned out to be just a member of the public

WHERE IS SHE - CALLING CAPTAIn

Alright, alright. I've been very busy today. Stupid bastarding work and analysing pupil progress data has got in the way of getting near a real life shop or getting on Mumsnet.
I haven't had a chance to look on here since 06:52!! Damn you real life intruding on v important matters.

I think a 12 may be too small Brenda. But I don't think I can get to a shop until Thursday. The horror. Stupid parents' evenings.

Sorry. I forget this is s&b and not the staffroom. No-one cares about pupil progress data and parents' evenings here.

I really like the next drape top. I think I may order it. Thanks OP.

Are the NL coated jeans stretchy in any way?
I have a couple of pairs of size 6 jeans from NL which fit me better than the size 8's due to their stretch but this doesn't apply to all new look trousers/jeans (or those from any other store for that matter! I'm in no way a true 6).

If they are stretchy may have to order just to see.

I like the look of the top. Is there enough 'give' in the drape to deal with a 6 months bump? I'm a 6 or 8 in most Next tops and I have maternity faux leather skinnies (yay!).

I have that drape top in black and grey - I figured I could wear a long sleeve top under the short sleeve version if wearing it to work when it's cold.

I also ordered this one in red and black but I can't make up my mind if it's going to annoy me

Would that Next top in the OP work for breastfeeding? Looks like it should to me. I'm looking for tops which I can feed in but which will also last me past feeding (and don't look like feeding tops!)

I dunno te breastfeeding. Or bumps. Nl trousers i sized up.

The long sleeve version came today. More TTS

TTS? Is it a good one? I'm shopping vicariously through you all til I can go late night shopping on Thursday!

Yup. The long sleeve one is less gapey drapey. But I only tried it on late last night.

(True to size)

Woo- I have just remembered there is a big Next nearby that stays open til 8pm. I might be able to get there later. And try on their leather look leggings (admittedly with the yucky side zip). I need to scratch this itch as planning this outfit is taking over too much of my time! The reality is probably going to be disappointing!

Lilipot15 possibly good for breastfeeding as it's only sewn at the top so the overlap could be pulled to the side

Thanks - I might go and have a look

Ooh this could be just the thing to wear with my blue glittery skirt to my works christmas party...

Yes. Think if you buy TTS would be good for bf
