I'm about to purchase a couple of pairs of leggings but don't know what to get to go with them.
I'm 36 and a size 8-10,about 5ft8.
Any suggestions, where do I begin ?????????

Ooh- I did see some nice long tops in the Next directory- quite multicoloured. I think Wallis have some too.

Oh I love that top, hadn't thought of looking in New Look. Will spend this evening surfing their website.
I shop anywhere really,it depends how much things cost. I just find it very difficult to think about things Ive got and then what to get to put together with them.
Love that shirt though, it'll look fab with leggings

I tried this on, would look good with leggings and some high shoe boots
something like this as a more evening look

Saw Tunic tops in Wallis- but nasty faux-silky material which will cling and not be flattering!

Just bought 2 fab tunics in Fatface .
One purple and grey (think it's called gamma twist) the other is blue/black/enerald green and is longer so could belt and wear with thick tights and boots as opposed to leggings.
Oh and a gorgeous long purple cardi!

I prefer dresses over leggings, to be honest, although I am not quite as slim as you!

Have bought a couple of gyspy style tops so far.
Where can I get a nice longish cardi from ?
