So I bought a funky slouchy vest top yesterday in a gorgeous shade of cobalt blue but.....

[tulpe]

When I put it on this morning, layered over a white long sleeve tee and skinny jeans, I looked like I should be serving tea at the local WI. Or perhaps a school dinner lady. Not quite the epitome of funky mum look that I was trying to achieve .

Where did I go wrong? What would you wear it with?

Can't link to it as was in Top Shop sale (in store - they don't have them online). It is:

cobalt blue
drapey, bubble hem
finishes just past my bottom

I also tried with a belt around it but that looked worse. Is it the long sleeve tee which is the problem??

I was kind of thinking a slouchy, All Saints kind of vibe?

you need a black vest underneath. definately not a long sleave top.

and a cardi if it's cold.

Mrs Montano - you are right. Have tried all manner of tees beneath and nothing is working. Think another vest to layer beneath is the only way to go, with a cardi on top.

lol same here jajas

38 is too young to retire on a diet of long sleeved tees under tops that are perfectly nice alone or with a cardi over... Fact!

Jajas - ITA! Happens all the time to me too

Awww, thank Ewe (see what I did there.....)
