I think I am on my fifth dotted blouse. I wear them under cardigans and blazers. I wear them with colored trousers and simple pencil skirts. Here are a few options in different price points that are perfect for your professional (or Zoom) wardrobe.

Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!
And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
How would you style a shirt like the top one, where it’s sheer? Do you do a nude or black cami underneath?
Black cami.
Which raises another question–where do people like to get camis from? I liked a few I found at Nordstrom Rack but haven’t seen those again. Any suggestions?
I’ve switched from spaghetti strap camisoles to tank style with 1 inch straps. Skinny straps inevitably get tangled in my bra straps or show multiple straps beneath sheer tops like these. One slightly thicker strap is a cleaner look to me.
My current faves are shapewear tanks that I’ve sized up in. I like that they’re made not to ride up or show lines and that clothing doesn’t catch on the fabric. If you size up you’ll still get those benefits without the sausage casing feeling. Mine are Spanx, but it seems like most brands have something comparable.
In the colder months I use Uniqlo heattech tanks for layering like this. Agree with Cait, tank style works better than spaghetti strap, especially under sheer. For warmer months I just use a basic Gap cotton tank. Uniqlo makes a cooling line. The fabric is nice and lightweight but the one I ordered I found the neckline too low.
Nordstrom makes a nice cami under the Halogen brand name. I wear them every day.
Banana Republic now has a line of True Hues undergarments. No black, but nude in an extended line of colors. I prefer nude bras and/or camis as they disappear under sheerer tops.
