Is this work appropriate?

Do you think that this top   worn under this cardi


octavia sweater would be work appropriate?  I just worry about enough coverage under the cardi?  I love the lilac color of the cami, but I just wish it were cap sleeved and had an upper back to it. 


Oh, I teach in a community college.

Hmmm...IMO...I think that would be best for after hours...drinks and dinner with a fabulous pair of jeans.  I just don't think it says professional to me. Sorry.  Probably everyone else will disagree with me....I just tend to think that if you are in a teaching position you should err on the conservative side.

With the cardi on, yes, I think it's work appropriate. I would think differently if it had spaghetti straps or if it was low-cut, but it passes both of those tests. IMO, this is one of very few satin camis that doesn't look like lingerie.....

Probably trying them on together is the best way to tell if you'll be comfortable wearing it to work!

I don't know if I like the straight neckline of the cardi under that cami...it might look off? I think you really need to try it on to see if it would be appropriate or not.

I personally don't think it would be, but that's JMO.

For your particular work situation, I don't think that it's appropriate.  I also don't really think that the necklines would work very well together. I like the color combo, though!

Not work appropriate.  Besides, those two tops don't work together.  Thanks for posting a pic of that cami though!  I have been wanting cami's without a low show-it-all cut.
