anyone seen anything nice? I have lost some weight and need a few more tops - casual ones for toddler group/work, and something with a bit o'glitter for the pub. Not tunics though. And easily available from the High Street, as I've got a whole child-free day for shopping on Monday.

Zara have some nice brightly coloured silk blouses - I saw a royal blue one which would look great with skinnies, perfect for the pub I'd say.

What's the difference between a tunic and just a long top?

Ooh, I love that jumper from Oliver Bonas too. Do you have it, hettie? If so, how long is it? I'm quite tall - 5' 8"ish. Do you think it would be long enough to cover my backside?

Hello. I have that jumper and it covers my bum and I'm 5'10" with a long back. I love it! Am currently 3 weeks post c-section and living in leggings while my scar heals and this jumper makes me feel normal again when I wear it.

I just got 5 Blush of these in different colours from Zara, I love them! I've been wearing them with a close-fitting long sleeve top underneath, a big scarf, skinnies and boots. They're loose, but not so loose that you look shapeless iyswim? I'm 6 feet tall and they just come to the bottom of my saggy bum!

Lurex Tabard Knitted Tunic from Mint Velvet £59 (also from J Lewis).
Has a tiny bit of sparkle, but ok for daywear. Long and bum covering (I'm 5'10).

Sorry on my phone, can't do links

I couldn't decide whether to buy it at 30% off, it looked good with skinny jeans on the Boden model.

that Zara one looks perfect - might get a couple of colours if they've got them in stock. Am 5'9 and long in the trunk, so should be a good fit.

I've also got the top that accessorizequeen linked to. It's lovely, nice and drapey, and the sleeves are a decent length - I hate it when full length sleeves look like they've fallen out with your wrists Hmm. I would have bought other colours (I have it in the blue) but none of them would flatter me. Probably a good thing!

forgot to say thanks all!
Boden stripey looks quite promising too

Sorry, not sure what happened to the Boden jumper link! It's lovely and soft, flattering in a not clingy but still makes you look slim kind of way, and washes really well. I've just ordered one in another colour, which is not me at all!

Are those Zara tips very loose ? Or has she just got a big size on? I'm looking for similar but I need fitted as I'm short .

Has anyone found that their Zara linen tshirts become mis shapen after washing? I loved mine but it looks hideous now.
