perfect dressy top for a metallic skirt

Help me find this:

Right. Lost 20lbs (yay)so no longer pushing from size 18+ and now veering below size 16. So I might be able to wear the lovely 'gilver' (silver/gold) sequin pencil skirt I optimistically bought a year ago (double yay) for parties without the enormo-tummy.

Don't want to 'double metallic' so I suppose black is the way to go (I have bright turquoise hair )

I am a 34G - so:
Cami tops - maybe- But straps wider than wide bra straps
BUSTY so NO high necks (ridiculous, never fit) and no low necks (eyepopping).
v necks suit the best.

I don't think I'm ready for anything tucking in, and no waist flashing (I've had twins and am crepey 🙀)
I don't mind sleeveless, puff sleeves, long sleeves

It would be nice to have some fabric with structure to it, with the quality in the fabric rather than the decoration. (like heavy satin or linen or even knitted).
I have endless types of tights and boots/heels to wear with it. I have great legs!

Thaaaanks😻

Maybe - but I have to wear a bra with straps - i don't mind that when it's casual but it looks messy for an event I think

It's a lovely skirt.

I would wear it with a cashmere jumper like this www.cefinn.com/products/lainey-cashmere-jumper-sand

I think black could make it look cheap

Next has some great pieces. I've bought these to go with a silver skirt. I think I'll keep the black (though it might look cheap 😂). Cream didn't work at all.

But that's a very ordinary jumper, try Marks or Uniqlo for similar

I would agree that you can probably find similar at John Lewis for less, but the cashmere really is lovely, and will last a lot longer than anything you'd buy from Uniqulo. Last time I bought anything from Cefinn I found a 20% discount code, which does make quite a difference.
