How I Wore It: The White Button-Down Top

 Over the last week I've remixed my Express white button-down 5 different ways, and over the span of ARTBF it's been a staple item in my work wardrobe.  The White Button-Down Top (hereafter referred to as "WBD") is the quintessential piece of business-casual clothing.  Tucked in, tied up or tails out, it's always appropriate and always in style.

Five Ways to Wear the WBD

Nautical Notions:  The WBD is the perfect piece for a preppy picnic on the river.  Pair with bright heels, a classic color palette, a voluminous skirt and gold jewelry for an all-American good girl ensemble.

Professional Partier:  Worn with a vest and floral skirt, the WBD can transition easily from the office to an evening out.  Layer on the chunky jewelry, slip on your cutest wedges, grab a clutch and you're ready for happy hour before the clock hits 5.

Sophisticated Scholar: Make it your business to look good by layering a colorful blazer over your WBD and finish the look with a pencil skirt, statement belt and pumps for a professionally stylish ensemble.

Floral Frockery:  Wear your WBD underneath a floral sheath or jumper for an ensemble with wholesome appeal.  Accessorize like a grown-up with a statement necklace tucked under your collar and sky-high heels.

Funky Friday:  The WBD doesn't always have to be dressy.  Use it in a pulled-together look with denim and a printed cardigan and accessorize eclectically with scarves and charm jewelry.
