Spice up Your Button Down

3:59 PM

Button down shirts are just one of those things that a girl should own, preferably in half a dozen different colors and patterns.  But sometimes it can start to feel tired and not exactly fashion-forward.  We're always a fan of a crisp white button down with a skinny jean for a laid back look or a striped silk number paired with a pencil skirt but sometimes you just need to try something new.  

Take your button down shirt to new heights while getting a lot more wear out of your strapless cocktail dresses while you're at it by layering your crisp menswear-inspired top under a fun, flirty cocktail dress.  While black and white is a surefire way to look chic and fresh, don't count out color - try a tiny swiss dot top with a swirly print strapless dress that hits above the knee.  

Layer Your Menswear Inspired Button Down with a Feminine Dress
Harper's Bazaar is on the same page as us - who says cocktail dresses should only come out once the sun goes gown?
We're loving this look simply because it lets you don you fancier dresses that seem to stay pushed to the back of your closet where they await special occasions.  Who wouldn't want to wear those beautiful gowns out in the daylight?  Just make sure you've got the right attitude to rock it - you're sure to turn some heads with this pairing!

If you're feeling particularly bold, consider pairing a crisp button-down with a strapless evening gown for an extra slash of fashion and character al la Julia Roberts.
