We've been invited to a 21st which I gather is rather low-key in the dress department, held out in a shed on a farm, no heels etc. I figure I'm fairly safe with jeans, but I need a top. Seriously I don't have a 'dressy casual' top to wear with my jeans. Clearly I have not been out in a long time and I don't wish to appear like the daggy, mumsy thirty something among all the teeny boppers.

I looked at Just Jeans and Witchery but there was nothing there that really floated my boat, so I'm welcome to ideas. I like the whole top and scarf thing the young ones have going on at the moment but not sure how to execute it. Anyway, whatever I end up doing will have to be online as I live rural and not planning on driving 100's of km for a top. Diva, I know .

Help anyone?

WOW I never even knew Bardot was online! Thanks girls will check out those links. I'd be a 10-12 top. Large breasted unfortunately (and not in a perky bouncy no bra kind of way....) which makes some tops hard!

Sounds like I'm a similar shape to you OP. I can generally find something flattering at French Connection.
