Something you need in your wardrobe: a few variations of the classic button down shirt. (Or maybe you call it a button up, an oxford shirt, etc.)Â A fitted version, a slouchy boyfriend version, and something in between. Be it crisp white or baby blue, a shirt like this is an easy way to add a little classic American style to a pair of skinny jeans and flats.
Kansas City was blessed with a warm front last week; think 70° days and actual sunshine. A definite spring tease before the snow returned over the weekend, but I’ll take what I can get in terms of nice weather in late January. Warm weather meant venturing out jacket-less in a button down and ankle-length jeans. To finish the outfit: a pair of tortoiseshell flats (seriously love these; bring ’em baaaaaack, JCrew!), high ponytail, and a leather crossbody.
Shop the look:
A good high + low mix in your closet is smart. You can stock up on basics at stores like Target and Gap (which are improving on design + quality all the time), and pick up a few luxe pieces here and there, like this gorgeous almost-marsala-colored leather Saint Laurent bag. (Or notâ if designers aren’t your thing, that’s cool too. You don’t have to spend big bucks to be stylish.)
70 degree weather?! That would truly be amazing. Glad you saw the sun a bit before the snow returned. I think that YSL bag is beautiful – great mix of pieces!
Cute and chic! I can’t decide if the little cute Yves St laurent satchel is my favorite or the leopard flat…Gorgeous as usual!
