What tops do you wear if you have a bit of a tummy?

[Poppysball]

I’m size 5’3, size 12 and have put on a bit of weight lately. I have had a bit of a stressful time and have done no exercise and been eating too much crap.
My clothes all feel tight but rhe next size up is too big.

I’d like to buy a few tops to wear while I try and shift the weight around my middle but I don’t know what to buy.
Yesterday I went shopping and tried a few things. They were either really baggy and unflattering and made me look frumpy and even bigger or they were clingy and emphasised my tummy.

Please can anyone of a similar size & shape tell me what they wear that looks good? I just want to have a few things that I feel ok in.

Following for ideas.

lots of colours and patterns?

I can't find the one I want to link to at Gap but it's a loose Viscose style fitted so it fits on the hips. It has a curved hem and I think that helps it to look a flattering shape as the line rises towards the hips.

No real help but that shape is really flattering!

High waisted wise legged trousers with tops tucked in? I'm currently about 7lb heavier than I'd like, I'm going with not giving a fuck as a look until I lose the extra lbs.
