cb at sea Posted April 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Anything with some "sparkle" would be nice. I wouldn't wear a blouse, since the pants are sort of loose and flow-y...I think something with a bit of "glitz" , sleeveless, would look great! Being 55 doesn't mean you have to "conform" to some age appropriate way of dressing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insel Posted April 16, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Very nice pants! I wore something like them a few years ago, not as fancy though. I wore a white silk tank top and a short green sweater in an open crochet pattern, basically because I'm always cold at night. Have a wonderful cruise!

TnMama Posted April 17, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2009 You can never go wrong with RED. a flowy,toule, red top with a ruffled bodice I think would look GREAT with those pants. Im suprised that youre having trouble finding something,with Prom season and all. You could always look on EBAY. THats where I got my dress..... On a personal note, where is NR Blackpool? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted April 17, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I can't really get a good look at the pic with the flash off the bright hanging thing. I think the pants are flowy with a piece of draped fabric across the waist with dangly silver strands, right :confused: If so, I'd opt for simple, the pants have enough detail. A fitted tank or capped sleeve stop with a sheen, perhaps in satin. Take the pants with you while you're shopping, to take out the guess work. I've never seen pants like these, it would be interesting to see a pic on a person or a mannequin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
