Sparkly Xmas top!

Hoping you lovely people can inspire me or help me find a nice top for Xmas day. I don't want to get fully dressed up with heels and a dress etc, but fancy wearing a top with some sparkle or festiveness with jeans.
I've realised I have no dressy tops at all, just lots of everyday t-shirts! I don't have a huge budget - it's not worth it for occasional use, but not sure where to start looking. I'm a size 6-8, with a 30G bust! Would prefer sleeves, shirt or otherwise rather than strappy. Any pointers gratefully received, thank you!

Can I just say I was chatting on the phone with my mother today, she said she is bringing a Nice Sparkly Top for Christmas Day, she is 83. :o

I shall be wearing my Elf dress though so maybe not the same fashion goals! :o

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow 😆 I'm wearing Xmas jumpers, dresses and elf hats etc almost everyday, so I'm with you on your choices - just not for Xmas day! I'm 40, so a Nice Sparkly Top will do me just fine, thank you! 😉

H&M had a nice looking silver sequin tshirt in the window when I walked past today. Looked boxy, but slightly cropped (ie stopping at the top of jeans waistband).

I really like the Whistles sparkly jumpers

I've bought 3 sequinned mini dresses on eBay this week. Three. Sequinned. MINI dresses. I'm 50. I think it's a midlife crisis. 😆 Luckily it's only cost me £40 in total. One of them is a brand-new Sosander one that I've liked for ages and usually costs £89!

I'll update with photos when if they arrive.

Monsoon often have a few sparkly tops at this time of year! I haVe one I dig out every Christmas!

Tesco had a simple short sleeved pale gold sequin top - looked really festive. Didn't notice the price, but can't be too expensive in Tesco.

Another vote for Tesco. They had some lovely sparkly tops and dresses in. Next had some sequinned short sleeves in today but they were very oversized. Not sure how small they go down to

M&S have some nice ones.

Zara have lots in. Also I just bought this from oasis which was a bargain as an extra 15% off if you buy on the app
