I'm one of those who likes the idea of button-down shirts but always feels ambivalent when I wear one. Mostly I feel like they sit uncomfortably on my neck. (Confession -- I have a sensitive neckline. It took years for me to be able to wear turtlenecks!)
One thing I liked about the two button-down sleeveless tops that I got from Ann Taylor Loft last week are that they don't actually button up to the neck.

I've been looking for something similar in long-sleeves to wear in the fall and winter. The only ones I've found are these at Eddie Bauer. The web site is a bit funky so this is the link to the shirts page. The shirt I like is the second one on the third row, in teal, long-sleeve wrinkle resistance stretch tunic.

What do y'all think about this style of button down? Have you seen similar shirts anywhere else?
