I recently bought this one from Amazon for $35- it was decent quality, flattering fit and I received many compliments. I just suggest double checking measurements vs. relying on the size chart whenever ordering from Amazon (though I probably didn't need to size up as much as I thought)

This one is pretty. I really like the navy.

I remembered I have a tulle skirt that I rarely have the occasion to wear, so now I'm bound and determined to find a top to go with it, that is fancy enough.

This is the skirt:


So far, I've probably bought 10 tops. Granted, I'm going to return all that don't work, but I'm feeling a bit crazy.

I also bought this skirt, because clearance:

I like the skirt a lot. I'd do with a graceful bateau or ballet neckline in a pale color that coordinates and then dress it up with jewelry.

I love the skirt. I feel like snugger top is what you need. A blouse will make you look larger than you are, at least that how I feel personally. The gold slim tank is awesome!

After buying about 15 tops (and returning almost all of them) I ended up buying a long chiffon dress and selling the skirt.
