Help! I need an evening top!

I need an evening top! I’m postpartum, my boobs are pancakes, and I’m a size 10. While I’ve sorted my daytime clothes, I have no clothes for evening wear. I live in London and recently went out for cocktails at a small local cocktail bar. All the women there were doing that London thing of not looking overly dressed up, jeans and tops mostly, but their tops! Nothing embellished or OTT. So simple and hung so beautifully and just so effortless looking 😩 help meeeee I cannot find these tops anywhere? I’d rather not wear a shirt, or a cami top/vest top. All these tops they wore seemed dark too, black or navy. Did I mention help me?!

I’m a size 10, post kid, pancake boobed Londoner too and don’t really own “going out tops” and this has got me thinking why:
It might not be for you but have you thought about flipping the problem around and making the bottom half the focal point of the outfit? So you might wear a well cut but very simple boxy top/knitwear/blazer over a more interesting skirt/trousers/dress with some statement (and I don’t automatically mean bejewelled) shoes. I think this is what I do. I put some effort into jewellery to balance it out. I don’t want to sound cocky, but I do get compliments.
