I''m hoping all the fashionable ladies can help me out... I''m looking for a shirt/blouse to wear to a holiday party with dark jeans and heels. The party is not formal so jeans are fine, but I want to glam it up a bit on top. I do not want sleeveless (in the Midwest), but would like something somewhat "sexy and festive". I Plan to wear dark-wash seven or paige jeans and high heels or boots.

Any suggestions?
 
You might want to check out Cache. They have lots of cute dressy tops. They also have a web site: Cache
 
Thanks for the ideas. Did anyone watch Desperate Housewives? I love the red shirt the woman fro Chicago was wearing (the one that dropped i on Catherine''s husband) It was a wrap top with a ruffled v-neck. Anyone seen anything like that?

I''ve seen some gorgeous wraps and gorgeous ruffles but don''t recall a wrap/ruffle top (I did try on a wrap ruffle dress at Macy''s).
 
Macys love the sheer arms

Dillards ruffle no wrap...but feminine

Ann Taylor ruffle no wrap...but they do have some pretty wraps...no ruffles

Hope those helped. Eat the canapes!! §
 
Victoria''s Secret''s website has some awesome holiday shirts/dresses also. I know lots of them are sleeveless (since it''s nearly 80 degrees here, that works for me) but they do have some nice tops with sleeves!

I love victoria''s secret, but am often disappointed with the quality of their blouses. Everything else-- Tshirts, jackets, jeans...all WONDERFUL. But be careful with those. I find their blouses are often overpriced, have very thin fabric, and are often "doctored" in the photos so they don''t fit the same way in person.

Cleopatra- do you have similar experiences with them?
 
Thanks for all the suggestions! I noticed the red NY&Co shirt in their window over the weekend. I still love the one I saw on Desperate Housewives last night and it''s shaped like other Diane Von Furstenberg shirts I have seen. I don''t want to spend that much, but would love to find something similar.

I know exactly what you mean Misysu! I actually ordered some "holiday party" shirts a couple of weeks ago and received them last Wednesday....I was very disappointed with one shirt and suprisingly satisfied with the other. They are totally hit or miss with me. Sometimes they can knock my socks off and sometimes, it''s just blah
I do feel as though their fabrics and quality are in complete glory on the website thanks to the magic of photoshop....in person, they are very disappointing and you realize that you were hosed on price and SHIPPING COSTS!!

Yes! What's this about Victoria's Secret charging you tax on your shipping and handling charges?! They totally hose you!

Hi Dancing Queen,

The red shirt from Desperate Housewives is actually a dress from Diane Von Furstenberg called the Volante Ruffle Wrap Dress. There is one on Ebay right now size 8 for $145.00...

Anthropologie has some great holiday tops right now too...

I loooooove that 2nd JCrew shirt!! ooooo....must check it out now.
 
Thanks ladies! That dress is the one! I guess I missed the dress part.

I looked at the J Crew tops, but quickly dismissed them with the sleeve length, but maybe I should consider the first one. It''s a beautiful color and interesting shape!
 
Oh have you seen this sweater? It has the requested ruffles!!! And it is shown with jeans!!! WhiteHBlackM And I love it!! Take a peek...oh go ahead! §
