I bought a really nice linen shirt in M&S, I also bought a nice light cottony knit jumper, in navy with thin green stripes but can't find that on the website
The shirt's lovely Kaz, I love linen tops, especially ones you can use as an open jacket like that one The jumper sounds lovely too

Yes I had it in mind to wear open like that too
Wish I could find a link to the knit, it's really nice. Also I bought 14s but nearly bought 16s as they looked smallish, but they fit ok so I am pleased on that score too I often need 16s for tops as I am bigger on the top than on the bottom, so this shows the weight I've lost

Even better Also, I've learned that it can actually look better to have the smaller size (not too small!) - as opposed to the one you think covers it all up Basically I guess you're not kidding anyone, and something that fits properly just looks better. Gok's been saying it for years but it's only recently he's convinced me

Yes, when you are pretty busty like me, but have a reasonable waistline it's a mistake to wear things too baggy, as you just look even bigger

Thanks Jo - wearing the new stripy top today, with a green pashmina I've had for ages folded over and tied like a long scarf - it looks nice

Oh I found a link to my jumper except mine is a navy background with apple green trim....no image available for that although IMO it is nicer than the coral
