thought i'd wear with jeans and heels.. Its not over the top, but has a bit of embellishment so it looks 'glitzy' enough for xmas parties etc imo....

Love it.

Yes very much - It'll look lovely dressed up and down. Maybe red lipstick...

I'd like something like that. I don't think that particular style would suit me though. Do you or anyone have other ideas/solutions?
I'm tall and wouldn't mind showing a touch of cleavage!

I've also just bought this snake print blouse not sure the quality will be up to much, but with jeans and heels again I thought ok for parties....plus you can undo buttons to show some cleavage saythatagain!

Thanks but I'm waaaaay too boring for something like snake print. I'm thinking more like black with a touch of black on the side!

madammecholet · 05/11/2011 11:29

Its quite an understated one saythatagain....maybe you should step outside your comfort zone and try it? Grin As long as you play everything else down, the 1 item of animal print can look v expensive imo.

Why would you look awful BarbaraMillicentRoberts? I have breasticles and am not slight of frame, but think this will still be good on me.....

Lovely.

madammecholet · 10/11/2011 16:25

Just an update, the black top arrived today and tis ver ver gorgeous! Although on the small side it fits snugly to your torso and then the arms are all balloony which I love.

Good buy for £29 imo..

The snake print one on the other hand is too big, so am exchanging for smaller size. Both great party tops though..
