A hint of evening glamour!

Themasterandmargaritas · 22/05/2009 19:02

We live a very social life, with lots of things going on in the evening, some more formal, some less. The formal I can handle and the totally relaxed night out is very easy.

I am struggling with the inbetween times, when I need a hint of glamour but not too OTT. Can you point me in the direction of the right kind of tops that I could use to dress up a pair of black trousers? I have quite a few tunics so I would love something, I don't know, sexier perhaps?

I am a size 8 and nork-less.

Bustier/corset tops come instantly to mind. They look the best of the smaller of chest, and can look really nice with black trousers (and a lovely necklace).

And this is really nice

And I think this is totally beautiful

I too am size 8 and small of norks and I tried and liked this I think bandeau style works well
something like this if you've toned arms
this with skinnies
cute
corset type

Oh the Coast top and the two Ted Baker ones are lovely!

Themasterandmargaritas · 23/05/2009 05:40

Great suggestions thanks! I love both the Ted Baker ones and the Miss S halterneck top is divine.

Black and white together don't really work for me, neither does the corset/bandeau type, I just look like I have a scrawny chicken neck.

Any more suggestions?
