Whenever I read articles or books that talk about closet essentials, a white button up blouse is mentioned. I always felt like it was more of a mature item that I didn’t really need in my closet, but a few weeks ago I finally picked this one up at Old Navy and I’ve been wearing it like crazy. It’s the perfect layering piece, goes with everything, can instantly dress up or add class to an outfit, and is flattering on everyone. So I’m joining the masses and saying that this is a piece you must have in your closet.
Today I want to show you a few ways to wear it. Since I’m sharing six ways total, I’m splitting it up into two posts, so check back on Thursday to see three more ways to wear it!
First up, business casual. I get reader requests often, asking me to do more work appropriate attire, so this one is for you. Layer the button up under a structured blazer and pair it with pointed toe pumps and a classic style bag. If you want it completely work appropriate, swap the jeans out for a pair of patterned pixie pants!
First outfit is absolutely fantastic but that last one took my breath away 🙂 Skirt has the best pattern ever!

Amazing styling! I love all three looks! A classic white button up is a must for fall! I would add a faux fur jacket + black skinnies + booties!

Great post and tips. My favorite of these is the second, casual, styling. I love the contrast with the black leather pants and the combination with converse. Cannot wait for the next post to see the remaining outfits! 🙂
I can’t even pick a favourite look – the dressed up and leather leggings are SO cute! Love the tips! Xo, Sarah
Do you recommend sheinside? I’ve been scouting it out for awhile but havent taken the plunge on anything yet. I wasn’t sure if their clothes/ company were trustworthy?
Love this post! I struggle when it comes to white button downs, I love them but feel like they only make sense in the office. This post really shows a great variety of ways to wear one, love it!

Awesome. I just bought a white button up from Old Navy last week, which makes this post golden for me! Can’t wait to see the rest of the looks on Thursday!

Well.. How do you manage to post some many outfits in such a short time ?
I have to say I love most of them. I’d like to be able to tell you my fav’, but this is impossible. You’re lucky enough to be pretty in all of them 🙂

White button-up is definitely a staple! I wear mine with all kinds of outfits: chic, casual, etc. 🙂
