What do I wear with this top?

LaCerbiatta · 24/05/2007 10:51

Bought this top from great plains, the grey one. It has pale yellow and green beads so I bought a green cami to wear underneath. What do I wear it with? It looks horrible with jeans, at least with the ones I have. Grey linen trousers? Will look like a uniform won't it?
Please help! have no idea

I'd wear it with light coloured trousers - either linen ones or cotton khaki-types

Dogsby · 24/05/2007 11:31

white trews?

MrsBadger · 24/05/2007 11:33

oh yes, or white
(I don't do white trous so always forget to recommend them)

Dogsby · 24/05/2007 11:34

i love em

wurlywurly · 24/05/2007 11:34

def light trews.

TheMaskedPoster · 24/05/2007 11:41

fab bargain tugamommy!

and agree with the white/light trews too

LaCerbiatta · 24/05/2007 11:44

Thanks girls. I love white trousers, they look really elegant. Will see how it looks.

Any other ideas? Do you think very light stone washed jeans could look good? Somehow I think white trousers will look ok but not perfect iyswim....

What is their sizing like? Am a 12-14 on the bottom (14 mainly in trousers - can usually get away with size 12 skirt and dresses) and a 12 on the top. Are they generous? Would a size 12 dress be ok or too small?

TIA - Sorry for the hijack!!!

LaCerbiatta · 24/05/2007 12:11

Sizes are small. I'm size 10 so according to their table ordered small (3 items) and they're all a little bit too small. They fit, but medium would've been perfect!

yes I agree re the sizing

the only things I am small in (tops wise) are the halter necks ..

If I was you - I would try and try things on first in a department store to get a gauge on how they fit first, and then you can order to your hearts content on the internet !

JonesTheSteam · 24/05/2007 12:15

Thanks tugamommy!

Love the top you bought by the way!!
Think light jeans would be nice with it(but I am not the paragon of style that Dogsby is)

JonesTheSteam · 24/05/2007 12:17

Don't think we have any Great Plains shops near me? There might be one in Howells in Cardiff, but I don't remember it at all.

TheMaskedPoster · 24/05/2007 12:19

any big department stores JTS?

like John Lewis or similar ... they usually have a section ... look here perhaps

JonesTheSteam · 24/05/2007 12:20

No - nearest John Lewis is over 30 miles away in Bristol.

Though they are building one in Cardiff soon, I believe.

JonesTheSteam · 24/05/2007 12:21

Howells is a House of Fraser - but if they have a Great Plains section it must be very small!!!

TheMaskedPoster · 24/05/2007 12:23

oh yes - sometimes only a couple of racks packed with various items - but it is good to try on etc ...

good luck anyway ...

I agree that light jeans would look nice with the top tugamommy - even a nice pair of cropped jeans too with wedges ... perhaps ?
