Right - need ideas for a top to wear for dd's baptism next week

I've bought this skirt and love it, and will wear it with long brown leather boots, but am having problems finding (or even deciding) on a top to wear with it.

I'm a size 18-20 up top at the moment, as I'm bf.

Any ideas?

Cod? Other style icons?

you need a brown wrap cardi with a cami underneath and a chunky amber pendant

next!

Agree with MrsB! If you don't have the pendant it can be a present to you for the baptism.

ok, so where can I find a brown wrap cardi?

Hmmmm .... amber pendant, I have a credit note from our local jeweller!

Sorry just realised your skirt is mustard colour, taupe no good, but the cardi comes in cream too whihc would work, perhaps with a choc brown cami underneath?

ejt1764 · 21/03/2008 21:39

skirt is more a burnt orange colour so the taupe or ivory one would go nicely - thanks pannacotta

that one was nice, Mrs Badger ...

Oh good, that kind of style is good if you need to feed as all teh fabric provides good cover.
Hope you find a pretty pendant too.
There are some lovely ones on here, think MrsB linked me to Pia before...
