Help, i need xmas party advice

[anonandlikeit]

Help, please....
I have 4 days (& it's got to be online shopping) to get something to wear for the office xmas party.

Its in a hotel, needs to be dressy BUT i don't wear dresses.

So I'm looking for smart trousers & a top.

I'm a size 16, big boobs & belly... bum & hips are OK, Ideally would like shoulders covered.... bingo wings on a big bird, not good look!

Please please help, oh & I'm pushing 40 but don't want to look like my Mum, but also don't want to dress like a 16yr old either.

Thanks, you really may save the day!

What about this rather beautiful Zandra Rhodes design from M&S?

Zandra Rhodes blue

You can get it delivered within 24 hours for £4.95.

Thanks Florence, Like the style but i'm not really a floral girl.
Would sooner have sparkle than pattern i think??

You and me both!

This should look great on you:
Kaliko plum twist top

As should this:
Kaliko jersey wrap top

Thanks florence, i like the second one... definatly that salt of thing...not sure about the colour though?? maybe a bit too vibrant for me... I want to look good but not stand out so much IYKWIM.

sorry - sort of thing not salt

Hey this is good, like a personal shopper online! Thanks

If you like a bit of sparkle then this ASOS sequin top is available in a size 16 in the black.

Or what about a silky cami worn under a little shrug or cardi.

This Jasper Conran top is pretty. It's sold out in the 16 but thought I'd link to it as you might be able to wear either the 14 or 18 which are in stock.

Have you had a look at the Coast website? You could get your whole outfit on there. Although, the problem with head to toe Coast is that you probably won't be the only one in head to toe Coast. This red top is ever so pretty. Just wear a little cardi with the buttons open over the top. It's out of stock in the 16 but a 14 would be fine if you're wearing it undone.

Okay, I am trying to rise to the challenge!

I love this Isabella Oliver top - it's subtly sexy and great in grape:
Drape top

They do express delivery and you can get 20% of that price if you order before midnight.

Thanks Ladies, i'm loving those tops Amandoh, off to have a proper look for some trousers too.. already have heels so they should be good.
Florence, I love that top & looks great with jeans, just wish i had her waist Oh well off to be weighed tonight, so you never know.

Thanks again ladies you have given me inspiration

Anonandlikeit ~ Glad you liked them.

I'm off to be weighed tonight (WeightWatchers) too. Good luck at the scales!

Weightwatchers here too! How did you get on Amandoh?

I stayed the same Anon. However, I did lose 3lbs last week and 1.5lbs the week before and I only want to lose another 5 or 6lbs so not too cross with myself. I know I could have done more exercise this week but I've been lazy so all my own fault.

How did you get on tonight?

loving some of those tops...this could help me - im after a top of the same ilk!
