In this outfit, the sheer top is completely superfluous from a coverage point of view, and yet it brings a softness to the structured button-down and gives it a playful, lingerie sort of look. This is a great way to add a feminine touch to a even a conservative, corporate-worthy outfit. For more examples of sheer tops layered over button-downs, check out this post and this one.
Button-down: thrifted

Thanks for responding to my inquiry concerning summer layering. Today's submission is one of my favorite ensembles from your collection, particularly the pieces from Let's Pretend (4/15/09) and Well Read (7/17/08). All are perfect for the workplace in NYC.
Love that look - works really well with the belt.
i've never thought to wear a sheer top over a button down before. cool idea! and i LOVE LOVE LOVE those green pants!
Hah! I've never thought to do sheer over a button-down. What a fantastic look.
Sheer on me always looks slightly slutty (it's the boobs, *sigh*).
However, I am in love with your green jeans! I want them!
I am absolutely loving this look on you. Possibly my favourite of the year (and that is saying something as I have loved every outfit you have created!).
