I understand that every woman has different needs for the go-to pieces in their closet & the wardrobe staples that work for me, might not work for everyone else.
That being said, I think there are a few universal pieces, that if you don't think you need them in your life, then I don't think you know about their potential.
Case in point : the white button down
Yes, this piece is synonymous with professional attire, but it is SO MUCH MORE!
A white button down is the blank slate of your closet - perfectly paired with pencil skirts, leather leggings, under sheath dresses. Tied, tucked, & layered over or under. This is one piece that can go from work, to date night, to play without even batting an eye.
feminine glam // effortless chic // modern cool // trendy edge // pretty classic // laid-back polished |
I wore a white button for the past few days - the same one - and no one even noticed because it is such a chameleon!
I can't wait to share my favorite white-button down looks with you!
Let me know, are you a white button down believer, or do I need to work extra hard on you??
My white button down believers - how do you rock this wardrobe staple?

I'm with you on the white button down. However I still haven't found one that fits me right. The ones I have tried are either to loose or to tight. So I am still on the look out for my perfect white button down.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Everyone should have a white button down top. I get so much use out of mine:)

lovely!i totally agree :) great pic choices.
ReplyDeleteI got a 'boyfriend' white button down from Gap around Christmas and just wore it this past weekend. The whole time I was asking myself why I hadn't worn it earlier. I have a stuffier one for work but this one is much more relaxed and I am so obsessed with it. I am already planning more outfits around it! I would love to see how you've been styling yours!
ReplyDeleteYou can wear a white button down a million different ways! I've been wearing mine a lot lately layered under a sweater.

I love the white button down, but have not been able to find a replacement for the one i used to own. Any suggestions for your favorite?!? I dont want to spend a ton of money but am willing to invest as it is something that can be worn in a ton of ways! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteButton downs are a true building block of any good wardrobe. I like the new polka dot variety.

This is the perfect staple FOR EVERYONE!
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these- one is more structured for business purposes, and the other is more for casual, weekend style. A must for every wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteBoth of my white button downs are J.Crew factory -

and this more structured one http://bit.ly/WUoieo ($39.50)
They fit great, most importantly they stay tucked!
Happy Shopping

My favorites are J.Crew Factory! I got a silky and structured work one (both in white), and then went back for the same styles in different colors! I am a button down addict!

Would you believe that I didn't own a white button down for the longest time? Usually they're too "stiff" for me, but I found one from Madewell that ended up working perfect with my wardrobe. You're right...it's a total staple!
ReplyDeletegreat post, love the different outfit ideas! I have been looking for the perfect button down for quite some time:)
