Closet Staples - White Button Up

Closet staples. Those basic pieces that everyone has in their closet. But even though everyone has them, people are unique and have the beautiful ability to make them look completely different.

The white button up is wonderful because it is light enough for the summer, able to be layered during the winter, comfortable enough to just hang out with friends, and professional enough to be worn to work or a job interview.

Here are just two of my favorite summer pairings with my white button up. 


This is my white button up paired with a patterned Forever 21 which sits on my hips with the shirt tucked in. The necklace is this wonderful thick gold chained necklace with a bunch on different types of peppers and coins hanging down from the bottom. I love this necklace, its a little odd but, honestly, that is why I love it. I always roll the sleeves up during the summer to help fight the heat but also because I just love the way it looks! Recognize the shoes? The tan suede ones again. I love them the are perfect for the summer and also perfect for me because they don't have the biggest heel and for someone who isn't great at walking in heels these are absolutely perfect. 


A white button up paired with navy blue high waisted shorts? Honestly what could be prettier? And falling in with Rosie the Riveter lets also add a bandana to the mix. The clutch is actually a piece that I made and I will be doing a post on it later this week (recognize the fabric? ) And finally paired with a cute pair of ankle boots with a small heel. Heels seem to be turning into another part of my summer staples. I'm not great at walking in them so what better time to practice than over the summer?

So, in conclusion, add a white button up to your closet you won't be disappointed.
