My Favorite Striped Button Down
Outfit Details:
Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Shirt: J.Crew (similar)| Jeans: Mother | Shoes: Schutz (similar) | Bag: Strathberry | Lipstick: Sephora in Always Red
Sometimes I think there is nothing sexier or more appealing on a woman than a simple button down shirt. One of my favorites that I own is a striped version from J.Crew, which doesn’t seem to be available anymore but I found this one that is super similar.
In my opinion, the key to finding a great button down is making sure it has the perfect mix of structure and movement so that it’s not only tailored but also comfortable. I also like my shirts to be long enough so that I can do little front tuck, which helps create a nice silhouette, especially if the top is slightly oversized.

How To Layer with a Velvet Tank Top
Outfit Details:
Sunglasses: Sunday Somewhere (gift) | Coat: Top Shop for Nordstrom (sold out – similar) | Tank: Banana Republic (gift – similar and on sale) | Top: J.Crew (similar) | Jeans: L’Agence | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Etienne Aigner (gift) | Earrings: Hart
I love layering so I’ll take any excuse to do so! The trend of a tank over another top feels very 90s to me, which is also very reminiscent of something I might have worn back in 1994. :) To make it feel a bit more current, I added my favorite tassel earrings and faux fur jacket, but kept the rest of the look simple by wearing black jeans and nude heels.
