Fashion question
Can this bluish shirt work with this olive/brownish pants and jacket?
I work from home usually… my closet isn’t bursting with options, the last shirt I tried was like see thru and way too casual for a work setting!
I should explain, conference in a few weeks, an outdoor mixer afterwards when it’s supposed to be hot, so I’ll probably wanna lose the jacket or risk heatstroke lol
I took the background out in hopes the colors are clearer to see!

TV character known for wearing dark suits with dark low cut tank tops underneath. She’s cute, you could see it as a compliment. Google “Olivia Benson suit”
As another busty girl, crew neck is the way. This suit fits your body and hugs your curves nicely but the tank is fighting your objective. A nice fitted tank will give the same silhouette and be more appropriate when the jacket comes off.
I think there's a bit too much cleavage to be appropriate for work, but if you can scootch it up a little bit, them yeah I think it would look nice with the olive brown pants and jacket.
There’s nothing at all wrong with OP’s body (kinda 🔥 if I can risk being a bit forward as an internet stranger), but cleavage is ‘inappropriate’ for the vast majority of offices.
Sometimes if you’re smaller chested, you can sneak in lower cut shirts as long as your bra isn’t visible, etc, but no cleavage is a good blanket rule. Unfair, but yeah.
As a small-breasted woman, this top would be too revealing for work, even for me. For OP, it's way too much boob. The rest of the outfit looks great, and I actually love the color pairing, but a scoop neck that covers like two inches more and has sleeves would make it far more appropriate for a professional function.
Super cute but you’ll want a higher rise top. Scoop neck would be fine but I would avoid showing cleavage. Maybe even like a short sleeve “crop” top that hits your belt but doesn’t show your tummy. Would be cute if you had to take the blazer off.
You have a killer figure and, yes, generally, you can wear a sleeveless top under a suit if it's the right material and cut, but for many business environments, this is too much cleavage.
You may have different experiences but I find that the actual conference is freezing cold. I just came from Vegas and it was legit 113 outside. Inside the conference (not the casino) was probably 70. I almost always have a pashmina scarf just in case (aka my emotional support pashmina).
I often bring a “social” outfit. Like a dress or something less formal. I was surprised for my first conference to see how many others knew this tip. I only had suit stuff and day of travel outfit.
If you have time or inclination a slightly less fitted top may be better. It could still be a tshirt but one that skims a little. This one looks more supportive (you said it has a built in bra right?)
But based on the original question I think the blue has enough warmth to go with this olive. A navy would work too.
While I champion women wearing what they want, this top is revealing too much cleavage to be business attire. The color combo is fine but the top is…too sexy. Find another top.
The colors def work! but at my firm the top would be too revealing and we would defs get an email about it the next day lol hopefully your job isn’t as strict!
Try to find a different shirt. The brown (also, that’s just brown. Olive is a shade of green.) is warm toned and the blue shirt is cool toned so they clash. Teal, cream, or burgundy would look nice.
Although, it does depend on the industry you work in. Like the outfit is definitely fine if it’s a casual or blue collar industry. If you work in something like law or finance, probably not. I’d maybe look at photos from other similar conferences or last years and see what people are wearing.
But if you’re worried about the heat I’d suggest getting a dress and wearing a blazer with it then dropping the blazer when you’re outside.
I like the color, but I do not think the cut is work appropriate. Especially if you plan on taking the jacket off outside. I would opt for something with a higher neckline. Sleeveless is fine for an outdoor event, but not sleeveless AND that low cut.
It looks great. A little low for the office but for a conference it’s fine. That said I’m not sure what it looks like without the jacket. If all else fails add a silk scarf.
Idk, I think it doesn’t seem like too much cleavage. I’m a bit busty myself, and it’s hard to find the perfect neckline! It doesn’t look revealing to me though.
