    Website for "sparkly" tops?

    Just wondering if anybody has a good website to buy "fancy" tops for formal night. I have a long black skirt, want a sparkly fancy thing for on top of it. I tried ebay, really didn't see anything there. I HATE to shop, but would like a new top without having to go to the mall......Thanks all!!

    Actually I have bought a bunch of stuff for our next cruise on line. I found some really great stuff. I got a few things from jcpenny.com, but the thing to do is, go to google and type in 'sparkly tops clothes' and you will wind up with a bunch of sites to try. I hate actually going to the mall too, I got some pretty good deals and when I got the clothes they fit and I loved them.

    Sequen skirts and tops - DH made me put them aside a couple of years ago.

    Since we usually are on ships from 14 - 21 days, I take along a lot of formal wear. Well - DH took about half of my sequen outfits and weighed them. OUCH - 25 pounds!! And since we have to fly - that's too much weight even spread over 4 suitcases.

    So I have managed to find some sparkly tops that light weight in various stores.

    In addition to Google, they now have a shopping site called Froogle. It doesn't list every place available, but it does let you sort by PRICE.

    Thanks!! However, I have joined a gym (Curves), lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks, and hope to lose 10 more before we leave!! I am 6 foot 1, so that makes it hard, I need to make sure the top comes down low enough. Trust me, you do NOT want to see my belly!!

    I hate shopping, too, so I buy all of that fancy stuff at http://www.carabella.com/ because:

    1) it is cheap
    2) it is made of that thick stuff that never wrinkles
    3) it is made of thick stuff that can be worn for years without falling apart
    4) the thick stuff stretches so everything always fits

    I'm tall, 5'9", but not as tall as you. Too bad they don't have clothes in tall sizes there, but nevertheless, I think you might get something cheap that you like.
