Warm office, petite office appropriate tops….sigh

If your 5ft nothing and small….what tops are you wearing to an overly warm office?

Need something short sleeved, non clingy and smarter than a t shirt. Also something that doesn’t have balloon sleeves (comedy at my height) and doesn’t have acres of fabric to tuck in…..anything oversized or billowy doesn’t work….
And nothing too pale in colour (they’re almost always see through).

Have checked all my usuals (New Look, Mango, H&M etc) but nothing seems to fit the bill. Next, M&S, Hobbs, Whistles etc just don’t fit me.

I have this top from Shein in 2 colours for work, it looks really smart but is essentially a tshirt so very comfy and not too warm

They are a bit oversized but not to a comedy level. I’m 5 ft 4 but with a very short torso and these reach my high hips and can be tucked in or left out.

I think I've tried this on - was way too boxy and big on me.
