Need a longline but smartish top, please

Has anyone seen any not that casual but not too frumpy longline tops in nude/black that would go with dark blue/black/grey skinnies and black leggings? Needs to be mid/top of thigh and about £30, will stretch to more if really fabulous.
I am a size 14, busty with broad shoulders and am 5ft 9", I am curvy (have a waist) and find that skimming tops flatter me best (voluminous just makes me look like a beachball on twigs), if that info is needed.

Off to do bedtime, thanks in advance.

To go with leggings? So we're talking bum-covering tunic - nearly a dress - not a top that only covers you top half? Or do you want to show off your bum

NO, really do not want my bum on show!

I like these long line T-shirts with prints on, but wonder if they are too young for me? Or not dressy enough?

The oli top is lovely. I'd look an absolute bugger in it though!

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2010 20:31

Too boring? Could be dressed up with jewellery.

TrillianAstra · 18/03/2010 20:32

Pretty top that the model is wearing without trousers, or twist top that I think would be better if it had a v-neck among the twistyness.

I like Sazz's 'comfy but smartish' cowl neck one.

Lizzylou · 18/03/2010 20:33

Sazz, love the pattern on that. but the bubble hem will make me look v wierdy and michelin manesque.

OOh, Trills, I like that.........

OOH, ooh, these are all fab, but, I want short sleeves, sorry, should have said, we may be dancing and it is end of April.
That is why I am not wearing a dress, which I'd prefer, because I don't think you can do opaques at the end of April, can you?

I like that vest top you said was plain, Trills, it's v nice....

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 18/03/2010 20:38

Oh, me too, Sazz!
That is fab!
Do you think it would be good over skinny jeans?
I don't mind patterns etc.
That is lovely!

I really like that one as well

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 18/03/2010 20:50

Oh no, I ike them all!!
I like that tie detail one, a V neck is good for big norks.
Would it be OK with grey skinnies and I have some wooden heeled sandals from way back which I think are now a la mode?
