Point out something unusual she is wearing like a piece of jewellery or something.
What about the taboo surrounding "I like your top"? Sometimes the girl really is wearing an interesting top.

/.. start with a cheesy comic line to get a laugh.
Humour is a dangerous thing though, because funny things often involve suffering. Some people take jokes the wrong way. For instance, when a girl I vaguely knew and fancied walked past my place, I enquired if she was off to college, and when she said she didn't need to go in that day, I quipped "well I've got some housework needs doing" and although she laughed, I immediately regretted saying it. Would she think I was the sort of guy that subconsciously expects women to do all the housework? I should have avoided humour and just pursued the "let's get a coffee" route, I think.
Actually, that leads to a related subject. What sort of style of chat is best, when you want to go from just knowing someone, to dating them? Clearly, implying that they are fit only for housework is probably quite low on that list...
