Help me find a sparkly top

morningtoncrescent62 · 06/10/2024 16:56

I need some sparkle in my life! I'm looking for a sparkly - preferably gold or rose gold - top that I can wear with my usual black trousers for a bit of a change. Silver or other colours also acceptable so long as they sparkle, the sparklier the better. I'd ideally like three-quarter length sleeves, shorter if necessary but nothing too strappy or revealing. For context, I'm in my 60s, average height, apple-shaped, size 14-16.

This is DEFINITELY something I'd be browsing Vinted for! If you have brands you know and love, and are familiar with the sizing for, there's an abundance of sparkly tops on there because people tend to wear once or not at all and sell on dead cheap. Even if you want new, it might still be worth doing to get an idea of what to put into Google, if you spot something you like on there and want to buy similar new.

EBay are also good for this.

Was going to say ebay, I got 2 on there trying to sell as I've gone up a size

I've never bit the bullet and signed up for either eBay or Vinted. Maybe I should.

Definitely Vinted! There are loads on there at the moment as everyone is having a pre-Christmas wardrobe purge so all the sparkly clothes are being listed. Move quickly if you see one you like though, as I missed out on a gorgeous sparkly green top from Next at a bargain price because I hesitated.

River island is usually great for sparkles!

Wallis have a lot of sequin tops in the sale at the moment.
