Buttoning up my button-downs

Posted by Chris at 12:00 pm

Hello my sweet little buttons,

I am most positive that you are already fully aware of my love for button-down shirts. (Case in point: here and here.) My closet is a home for at least 10 of these guys. Somebody needs to talk me out of acquiring more!

Well, bust my buttons! I've recently recruited yet one more into my team: Chambray Dolman Sleeve Top from ADAM by Adam Lippes.

Source: Style.com

This top first caught my eye when I was browsing the ADAM Spring 2010 collection on Style one fateful day a few months ago. I saved this very picture on my iPhone as inspiration and thought nothing of it thereafter. Needless to say, when I unexpectedly bumped into this wonderful creation in person, I was floored because I recognized it immediately. Yup, pretty darn sure the universe wanted me to have it. While it is a button-down shirt, the sleeves and cut are unlike anything else of the sort in my wardrobe. I love how it is relaxed but structured at the same time.

I tried to style it the same way as it was worn on the runway. I don't own slouchy white pants, so I did a skinny white jean. I can't wait to wear it in different ways.

Pardon the red light from the camera remote control..

Jeans: H&M
Chain: Aldo

I’m so inspired by your love of button down shirts. I really like this one by Adam – definitely because of the cut and sleeves. It’s a great sophisticated version of the trendy chambray shirts that are so popular right now.

OMG, I’m totally with you – button-down shirts are so addictive! Love how you’re wearing your new ADAM shirt! Isn’t Adam Lippes fantastic? I just bought my first ADAM piece – a cropped blazer. Did you pick your shirt up at the Bay?

Great button down shirt! I love how we can dress up/down button down shirts. Definitely a staple in every woman’s closet!

Re: my post of F21 knock-off shoes. God, I’m not planning on buying any of them The wedges and the black heels are so poorly made, you can even tell just by looking at the photos. And the clogs? I’m not a fan of clogs (except for Miu Miu suede&wooden clogs, which I think can pass as sandals with stacked heels! hahaha..) I can kiss F21 shoes goodbye :p

You look so cute! When you’ve grown tired of your button-ups you should put them up for sale! I love worn-in ones )
