Help! Have skirt - need top for date this Friday

[BlameItOnTheBogey]

Have booked babysitter for the first time in yonks for this Friday and H and I are going on a date. I feel a bit out of shape (mummy tummy) at the moment and really want to dress up and feel good about myself. I have a great black lace skirt somewhat like this one but no clue what to wear with it. Please can someone help?

I don't want white shirt as will feel like a waitress and I still have baby tummy so nothing too clingy. I am otherwise relatively slim.

Please, please help!

Thanks.

Ow c'mon - somebody must be able to help [bogey wonders if pj top will do]

I would look for a silky, slinky blouse or top to wear in a jewel colour (purple or deep pink) or even black. Tucked in of course - will hide rather than exaggerate a mummy tummy (which often happens with tunics). I will do a proper search later but am mning when I should be attending to extremely important PTA matters...... . Take a look at somewhere like Top SHop or Miss Selfridge.

Or how about some slinky black knitwear? Fine knit merino, deep v-neck kind of thing? Try French Connection, Top Shop, Whistles or House of Fraser.

Really have to do this work now and not be distracted by clothing issues.......

OK great - thanks for the reply. I'm trying to adjust my style and find something that works but am so clueless now that my shape has changed.

Slinky blouse it is then - off to google and see if I can find something. Thanks for reply.
