How to Wear; light blue button-down

Good Morning! So all last night I was thinking about columns to do and I love the idea of of taking a piece that most people have and styling it with different outfits! So here goes: How to wear a light blue button-down!

1. This outfit kind of gives off a Working-20-something year old-in-Manhattan vibe. It could be cute for a nice lunch with a friend or client on the weekend, but the loafers make it a bit too casual for the office. It's practical and professional, without being boring. The light blue and playful Lilly pattern add the bright-springy feel while the many tones of brown and gold keep it classic and luxurious (I know, having every shade of brown in an outfit can go wrong, quick. But in this case it works!) The pearls are just a nice little touch to complete this fun and adorable ensemble.





2. This outfit is the perfect welcome to autumn. This Kate Spade-esque ensemble would get all the attention walking down the street. The light blue offsets the warm tones of the bag and vest (Don't pretend you haven't thought about buying this super-trendy J.crew herringbone vest, if you don't already have it!) The cute coffee tumbler adds some fun to this fall uniform that will keep you getting compliments all day long.


3. Ahh... the summer uniform. A linen top, chino shorts and sandals. But this uniform is anything but standard. The bright green and light blue compliment each other instead of clash (which lots of bright colors tend to do). The anchor necklace and messenger bag give off the nautical vibe without being too loud about it. Just grab your iced tea and head off to almost any occasion in this cute yet casual summer outfit!

 
4. And here we've come back to fall. While the other fall ootd had a girlie vibe, this one has a classic prep-school, almost equestrian essence. With the touches of plaid and big pearl necklace, this outfit is a twist on the classic school girl uniform. With khaki pants instead of a skirt and a leather top-handle bag instead of a boring backpack, this outfit adds fun to the standard university vibe.

I hope you enjoyed my first How to Wear column! Thanks for reading and come back soon
