Can I still wear tank tops over a white shirt? Should I wear a cute cardigan instead? Do you know anywhere that has a short sleeve white cardigan on sale?
A: It depends. I know that is not what you want to hear, but this is why. It depends on what type of tank you are wearing, where you are going and your body shape.

In the winter, putting a long sleeve shirt under another shore sleeved one is a great way to layer. In the summer it isn't as easy. Make sure you have a wider sleeve on the tank. Also you want to make sure that your outfits has a Barbie/hourglass figure or the illusion of one. You want to find the narrowest part (normally at about the rib cage) and show that off. You can do this by getting an empire waist (examples below) which hits right below the bust line and gives the impression of a longer leaner look.

(both of these shirts will work with a shirt under or a cardigan over. If you choose the cardigan, keep the cardigan fitted)

If you are going somewhere a little nicer I would suggest a ¾ sleeve cardigan. It doesn’t have to be white you can wear a pseudo-neutral such as tan, olive green, navy, etc. These colors work just as well and might compliment your skin tone a little better. If you decide that you want a white cardigan (everyone should have a nice white cardi in their wardrobe) here are a couple of suggestions.
This dress would be great witha v-neck cardi

Wedge sandals and a cardi will help this dress
look casual yet polished.
