The theme for this week’s Dressing Charlotte is about reworking the button down, a closet staple, into something fresh for spring. I realized on Sunday that button downs haven’t gotten much trend love in the past few seasons, and therefore my lonely button down has been stranded on a hanger for far too long.
And with the warmer temperatures coming soon (they are going to come, right?) a button down can be a perfect lightweight, long sleeve option. Below are three easy ways I will be sporting my oxford this season.
wear alone, but it pairs beautifully with the shirt underneath.
with the inset detail on this gray cardigan.
As for accessories with a button down? Stick to earrings, and let the scale match the collar of the shirt.
I just love the short sleeve magenta top over the oxford! Fun and fresh! Have a great day!
Oh, I love it with the ruffled cardigan! I wish I had a mannequin to play dress-up with!:)
@ Miss Less: I love the pink shirt combo, it’s actually the only way I wear that shirt now.
@ Blair: Charlotte is definitely a cool addition to the studio. She is pretty deceptive though, she has a slight hunchback, but you can never tell.
ditto for short over long. I like you for thinking ahead…

I love these creative combinations! Where is that button-up from? I really like the collar.
…just wondering if you plan to accessorize with any of your designs?
@ PVE: Yep, we must think ahead to nicer, warmer days. As for accessorizing with my designs, I think any of the medium scale earrings would be a great choice. I generally gravitate to these in my closet frequently: http://jesslc.com/CH91.htm.
@ Kaitlyn: The button up is from J.Crew actually. I got it on sale a year or so ago for $14.99! It was a great buy.
