look behind you - the art of allure

It's Friday, time to let your hair down, go out, dress up, play.  Usually this means we get to see a plethora of micro mini's & tighter than tight dresses that leave nothing to the imagination - enough already! Why not create an element of sensual intrigue. Slightly sheer fabrics & lace panels give a tantalising glimpse of what lies beneath but done in a demure blouse or silhouette hugging dress to the knees, gives you a more sophisticated look....  sophisticated but sexy.

Make a dramatic exit - outfits with the attention grabbing detail at the back are one of the hottest things right now.  You may look modest from the front but turn around to reveal an open back or deep V and every eye will follow you.  One of my favourite outfits is a pair of slim fit, slightly cropped pants, statement heels and (depending on the weather) either a Marlene Birger knit that's got a back slit from the bottom up (it swings slightly in a most seductive manner) or a not too sheer blouse that follows the same pattern - couple of buttons at the top and the lower back drapes provocatively.

The definition of allure is to be highly, often subtly attractive. So much nicer than overly obvious - don't you think?
