Please find me a lovely top to go with a pair of black kick flare trousers ...

[bluenosesaint]

...oh, and a pair of shoes to match would be good too

My dds Christening is this Sunday - i have pretty much decided that i want to wear black kickflare trousers (am still carrying baby weight and want to try and look a little slimmer - thought these would be best?) and need a top and some fabulous (but fairly comfy - maybe wedges??) shoes.

I would prefer a bit of a sleeve as i'm not fond of my upper arms and something that will flatter but not emphasise my rather large chest!

Am a size 16/18.

Am open to suggestions re colour (am brunette if hair colour matters)

Thanks in advance

Anyone?

This is pretty.

I can't find what I want to find online.

Wide leg trousers would be nicer IMO.

Like this maybe?

Yes white linen trousers would be nice. But maybe not practical, maybe navy linen?

Nice..

Ok, i love the blue calcutta top from monsoon and the blue beaded kaftan from debenhams - are these both ok with big boobs??

What colour trousers then if you shouldn't wear colour with black? I can't wear white, am far too big for that - i would be soooooo self-conscious

I would say black is ok, but do wideleg linen.

Maybe navy or beige, but you would need to try them on together.

what are your legs like? navy trousers with a blue top.

neither of the two that like have got my size is stock

back to the drawing board ...

I've got thighs like no-one else! ...and i don't mean that in a good way

This is why i wanted to stick to black originally - thought some miracle may occur to make me look slimmer

By kick flare do you mean bootleg? I think they could look a bit cheap if you are not careful.
Wide legs sound better, with a tunic style top.

this top
these trews
this scarf
or funky beads.

bluenose they are only out of stock online. shops will post to you or tell you where to go. if you have thighs then go with smurfy's wide trouser suggestion.

This is what i meant by kick flare ...if only they looked like that on me eh?

Ahh i didn't know they would post out fishie - thanks

C'mon then - show me some black wide leg trousers

really like those white ones maidemess - just don't think that i can wear white (any black ones like those anywhere?)

what, sort of vacant?

yes good trousers with an empire tunic top and big wedges.

LOL fishie - i'm sure i could do the vacant look at a push

Yeah - thats exactly what i was thinking!
