It's also a case of just trying on and seeing how they pan out.

Personally I go for the shapes that I know work for me anyway, so scoop or v-neck would be good (I love Boden striped t-shirt with a scoop neck). I like crew necks, as long as they're not too high. Fitted works best for me, but I do have one relaxed fit in navy with paler blue stripes that gets worn with navy skinnies. So you get a more slimming column of colour. I love a contrast scarf with this outfit, to add a pop of colour and distract from my boobs.Danish Pastryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05123972992199553087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-7444300818181463122017-01-07T04:59:19.359-08:002017-01-07T04:59:19.359-08:00Would really love it if you could suggest how to w...Would really love it if you could suggest how to wear stripes when you have a larger bust, or is it a no-no ? marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04124512372564950761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-66245465684786022502017-01-07T04:44:51.324-08:002017-01-07T04:44:51.324-08:00I'm a short size 12 with ample boobage, and li...I'm a short size 12 with ample boobage, and like you I'm particular. I find if the main colour is navy, so I can wear navy trousers or dark jeans then I can get away with a more relaxed fit. If they're more colourful, then I tend to go more fitted. They have to be crew neck, no boat, turtle or polo necks in sight as these do nothing for my boobs!

Also tried Givenchy studded boots (US11!) but were too uncomfortable, and Chloe Susannahs (US9.5) - ditto. So a big fat fail on the fancy boots for me! Thinking about trying the Topshop "Givenchy-style" boots, but put off by all the reviews saying they're horribly painful. Any idea if that's true, or what the sizing is like?
