I’m continuing with the week of requests because last week was a short one, and there are still some fun queries to answer (and if you haven’t answered this question yet, please do so in the comments). A reader named Marisa wrote in to say that she’d like to see a post on “Work-appropriate tops to wear under blazers—preferably things that add a little color and personality without getting too Madonna “Express Yourself” (although I love that look—just not for work.)” I like the boldness and ease of this red choice.

This is a tiny bit more Little House on the Prairie than I typically go, but I think all those pretty colors would look great peeking out from under a jacket.

A very feminine—yet still nicely streamlined—option.

This smocked top has a lower neckline than other tops like it, which is a bit more flattering.

Such a very pretty blue.

A black and white floral would be a nice, graphic touch.

This has an eensy star print, which I love.

Another pretty floral, and one that would be especially good with a navy blazer, I’m thinking.

This reminds me of a Maria Cornejo top I wear endlessly (and that I paid a lot more for).

The notion of a brown floral sounds kind of unappealing, and yet this could not be a whole lot cuter.

This, at first glance, might seem too casual and hippie girl for work, but it’s made of silk, which polishes things up a bit.

True, this is on the pricey side, but I love the idea of the stripes peeking out at the cuff.

A lace top that isn’t too fussy is a good thing.

Yet again another floral, this one bright and poppy as can be.

Don’t dismiss this cami as too bare—it’ll be under a jacket and nobody will be the wiser (if you still can’t quite imagine that, here’s a similar tee).

Just a vivid, gorgeous green—an underrated color, if you ask me.

I like the way collarless shirts look with blazers, and this is just so good.

And finally: you can’t beat a good blue stripe.
