First Timer - night out in a few weeks - need help!!

Hoping you stylish ladies can help!

I'm off out in a few weeks for my first night out since having DD (6 months today).

My 3 hot, single and child-free cousins are coming over from Ireland and we're going out for cocktails in a bar and then will prob end up in FAB Cafe (an indie/rock/retro club-there's a few here oop north)

Given the venues I don't want to be too dressed up and would prefer to look like the hot/smokey-eyed/low cut top+jeans+converse rock chick I was before DD!

I'm 28, size 14, 5'4 with dark hair, blue eyes and typical Irish fair skin and freckles! Pics on profile

Have good norks-38c (with help of good bra-6 months of bf'ing have changed em slightly!), ok arms and decent if short pins but have very wobbly tummy which I want to disguise as much as poss.

I've got a pair of high-ish waisted jeans from next like these (without the crease)

www.next.co.uk/shopping/women/nextjeanshop/7/2

which look good with heels and flatter my belly so a top to go with would be ideal

Am also open to a whole new outfit if anyone finds anything nice

I would describe my style as boho/rocky//50's/wee bit hippyish. Definitely NOT girlie girlie/boob tube/dance around your handbag and drink breezers!

Don't want black.....love jewel shades and colour in general

Apologies for lenght and ta in advance

Have you had a look at sites like Collectif? Lots of lovely 50s/rockabilly type stuff to be had, very nork-friendly

DP just came home with the top and it's................................

ACE!!

Tried it on with the jeans and heels and it looks fab, flatters my curves and gives me great cleavage! DP say I look like a sexy 50's goddess! (well he kinda has to say that doesn't he?)

And the best part? Only 7 quid! Compared to the frumptastic one from ASOS which was £45

Case closed - thanks all!
