A casual event at a restaurant like she described means both men and women will be wearing nice jeans. And that blouse is appropriate.

I think I wore that exact AT shirt (minus the subtle puff shoulder) to an office holiday party circa 2001 - so yes, it is appropriate. And mine was a law firm staff holiday party!

She said it was casual. And there is nothing sexy about that shirt.

I like the shirt, would look better with black pants as the lace makes it a little dressier than most jeans.

Would this be appropriate for a casual holiday dinner at work, paired with dark rinse jeans?
