Worth it, only on sale.
I love this top for work. I wear it under cardigans and blazers and it looks great. I bought it in the darker blue and the bali blue. Bali blue is basically aqua. It looks like an electric blue on my computer screen, but I like the actual color even better. The darker blue looks almost purple on my computer screen, but it is really just a vibrant cobalt in person. Either way, the hem at the bottom doesn't bother me. There is just barely enough room for my big hips in this shirt, so it does ride up from time to time. I do recommend wearing a cami under it, especially at the office. It looks great by itself or with statement jewelry. I'm very pleased with the conservative neckline.

Great everyday top!
Love this top. I like how it fits and is not clingy like other material. This is a top any woman can wear. Any shape or size. I like that it comes in a variety of colors.

Ok
Nice color, I got the red, though I wanted several others too but none in stock. Material feels nice but is very sheer. I need another layer underneath so my bra does not show through. Material also wrinkles easily. Fit is ok, these run a touch large. I wear a 4 typically and smalls from Limited ususally do fine, but this was a bit wide. Good length, able to tuck in or leave it out.
I bought this in-store in the Bali-blue because I absolutely loved the color, it's incredible. I was hoping to layer it under blazers and cardigans for the office, but the hem really just ruins the shirt for me. When I try to tuck the shirt in, the hem is visible. When I wear the shirt loose and not tucked in but with a blazer or something over it, there is just an odd visual focal point created by the hem. The only way I liked it was with loose with skinny jeans, at which point it's no longer useful as a shell for office-wear.

Too Thin, Odd Hem
I ordered this online because the colors looked great. When I got it, however, I was not happy with the fit. I ordered an XS, the size I usually wear here. It is HUGE. Much too large for me to feel like it's work appropriate. It's so large that it looks grubby and unkempt. If I could have sized down, I definitely would have, although I'm not sure one size less would have been good enough. I'm also not pleased with the hem. There is a panel that is about 2.5" thick around the hem. I think it's meant to make the shirt look more structured than just a simple two-panel, front-back design, but it's located just slightly above where I'd tuck the shirt into pants. It creates a really odd drape there that I don't like at all. Lastly, the material is very, very thin. It could be good for under a summer suit. Yet even for that purpose, I don't think it's worth the $15 special price -- and I certainly would never pay $40 for it! I will pass on this for sure.
I was so happy to find this "perfect" shirt for use under suit jackets! It's soft, comfortable (and easy care since it's polyester but looks more like silk) and should be durable. I am normally an XS-S and I got XS in this shirt since it's somewhat loose-fitting and I wanted it for suits for work. I loved it so much that I bought it in 3 colors! Very classy, looks expensive and fits perfectly.
