this with navy opaque tights, heels, and navy bag!

Am 2 weeks since giving birth and despair of being able to wear something like this again!

Or you could just go with standard jeans, dressy top and heels combo?

I am 6/8 and 28E so petite and curvy. I would wear a. cowl necked top with skinny jeans and heels. Hope that helps!

Thank you .. I think I'm going to wear jeans and a top combo. I don't go out often and wasn't sure if I was on the right track .

Lol! My teens were a nightmare. Its scary how many pervs are out there. My 20s, I wore stuff that accentuated the curves. Lovely if you're a star but not for us mere mortals. Its only in my 30s that I discovered cowl necks and learned to dress in flattering clothes that didn't put it all on display.*

I'm 38 and its very difficult to not look like Jessica rabbit . I have similar sized boobs but a small waist and curvy bum . I find it hard not to look mutton as everything I put on looks tarty without trying. I had ALOT off attention as a teen as I was more of a size 6 but its died down a bit now Smile

I know exactly what you mean about looking tarty without trying. I learned the hard way in my 20s that rolo necks, ribbed scooped necks and even wrap tops/dresses are not my friends. Also I am 5'2" and top half is short so anything tucked in accentuates the boobs. Anything too long though overwhelms me. Everytime I buy something I am balancing out the fact that I am booby with the fact that I am short. I have (after many years of working) finally got an office look that works for me, which is basically wool or crepe dresses with a nipped in waist. The cowl neck and trouser look works for me on a night out but I don't have a "look" for casual or smart casual. If you have figured it out let me know! Grin
