Still need help finding a top please - Disaster so far! Pg4

Postby zoeyboo » Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:49 pm

Hi Ladies,

I have recently bought some skinny black leather trousers (yes I know :giggle: midlife crisis?)
But I am struggling for things to wear them with, when it gets colder and I'm not going anywhere too special I think they'll look fab with a long chunky jumper ... but I want to wear them on a night out in a couple of weeks & am stuck for a top...

Would love to see suggestions please! Something a bit rock (without being cliche'd), not too high in the neck as I am big busted (unless it's sheer and I can show some clevage) oh & it must be long enough to cover the waistband etc but not necessarily my bum ... and I think I'd like to avoid black as I'd like to show off my new brunette hair, but that's not a must.

Oh & I'm not loaded, especially this month so highstreet cheapy please!

TIA! :hug:

What size are you, any colour you prefer or totally dislike?

10-12 ... I am a 30-32 in bra size but a G :roll: stupid fake looking boobs!
So if there is some stretch or it's loose fitting then a 10 should be fine.
I can't do buttons down the front I should have mentioned LOL, I really struggle with tops.
No colours I hate as such.

Ooo I like both of those!
The 2nd one is a bit casual for a night out ... but I may need it anyway :giggle:

I want this dress... thought I could wear it as a tunic, but sold out online :cry:

I'd go batwing type top with slash neck, loose fitting. Anything tight wouldn't work (not in my book anyway, but then I'd never wear black leather jeans either so what do I know :wink: )

You need to "downplay" the sexiness of the jeans with the top. ditto with shoes.

Zoey, next time I'm at work I'll see where has that dress in your size that's near you if you'd like?

Or go for a good fitting black vest or t shirt with something like [ur=http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/sheer-waterfall-jacket_233839385l]this[/url] on top - they have some nice ones in topshop but they are more pricy (£50 a pop). I got one last winter and it was great, wore it to death and still get compliments when I wear it - my mates christened it my "pulling top" :wink:
