An Essential Button-down Blouse

Nothing says back to work (or school) like a crisp white button-down…

… And in an oversized silhouette, natch. The last hurrah of summer has been jam-packed with pizza, rosé, late nights and the like, so I’m thankful for this breezy little blouse today… How was your Labor Day Weekend?

(Before I forget: Did you hit any good sales? I finally pulled the trigger on this gorgeous blush moto jacket. Couldn’t say no with such a steep discount!)

Much like a brand new month (or season), the white button-down is a perpetual closet staple with the sartorial benefits of a blank slate.

If you’re a serial snoozer like I am, trust: Make sure you’ve got a button-down blouse in your style arsenal.

There isn’t much that this fashion must-have doesn’t wear well with, so I opted to keep it classic, tucking mine into black skinny jeans; accessorizing with a sleek black clutch and an edgy pair of pumps.

  3. Love a good, comfy, go-with-everything white shirt! Definitely a wardrobe staple. Drooling over that blush colored moto jacket! Can’t wait to see how you wear it.
