A button down adds just enough crispness that I don’t feel completely sloppy, and I also don’t feel the need to layer. A bold piece of jewelry and interesting flats are usually all the embellishment the outfit really needs. The other nice thing about button downs is that they are easily dressed up as well, so they can pull double duty.

I found this military detail blouse recently at Express, it’s still available here. It also comes in a nice stripe that I was sorely tempted by, but I eventually settled on one in navy and the other in black. I wore the black one last week during the dress week challenge. I just got another coupon in the mail, so I may still go back for the white one too, hee.

On a side note, I’d really like to pick up a pair of bootcut jeans, since I wear my Citizens of Humanity straightleg “Elson” jeans so much, I’d like some variety. Citizens of Humanity makes a fabulous, high rise bootcut jean called the “Amber,” but I’m on a bit of a budget crunch right now. Anyone have suggestions for decent, higher rise, bootcut jeans around $50 while I save up for the Citizens?

The top is from Express, the jeans are Citizens of Humanity, shoes are Me Too and bracelet is J. Crew.
