Boyfriend Button-down

May 27th, 2009

Boyfriend’s button-down, BDG Jeans, Vintage Bracelet and Ring, Seychelles Heels

One of the few advantages of sharing a closet with my boyfriend is the abundance of perfectly lived-in shirts. They’re the quickest way to create an androgynous ensemble and about five times more comfortable than anything I own. I pretty much lived in this Wrangler one the entire weekend, which included a spontaneous road trip to Santa Barbara, lots of barbecued food and way too many cups of coffee.

I really like this combination – the right jeans and the right casual shirt paired together can look so chic!

This is such a nice outfit! My boyfriend has a nice levis shirt that I want to wear but he won’t let me cos it’s his favourite…meanie.

Love the shoes – my bf has some cool dress shirts but everything else is a bit too rockstar for me tee hee. Sounds like a great weekend!

So true, there is nothing more comfortable than a boy’s lived-in, old shirt. You make it look chic with those heels-love it!

I agree….I borrow my husband’s shirts all the time. it’s so easy and oversized tees are in style now too so the more better!

If I wear my boyfriend’s shirt, I’d drown. I’m just too tiny.

Aren’t those soft shirts the best? This looks so sweet on you.

I kind of love that you’re wearing heels in the mountains, that’s pure style right there. My hubby has a few vintage shirts that I love, though they’d be down to my knees if I tried.

I love that button-down. Honestly, my favorite tops for girls are those that were made for guys. Weird, right?

That is the perfect shirt. I bet it would look adorable with rolled up white shorts, too. Love it. Glad you liked my PFG post:) Seriously…the white jean madness needs to stop!! xo

I love this look. The heels make it so much more feminine + sexy. None of my bf’s shirts fit on my unfortunately. They’re wayyy too big. And Santa Barbara is actually SUNNY today; it’s been gloomy all week. I’m jealous of LA weather right now. I’m still wearing sweaters!

Okay, now the next question is: how long does he let you wear his perfectly broken in button-down

Love the outfit! I wish my boyfriend had lived in shirts like that – sometimes I think he has a better wardrobe than I do! I’m not sure if he has any flannel I can wear – but a lot of formal button-ups. The only thing about that is that they’re a little TOO big, doesn’t look s as cute as it does on you! =)

Cutee! I love boy’s shirts. I have a flannel one like this and I wore it half the winter, so comfy!
http://dogearedit.blogspot.com Dog-Eared
yes, my boy has a very well-curated collection of worn-in flannels.
you wear the style well

very very cute – suits you!

very cute! but i think that the only way this works is if your boyfriend is somewhat the same size as you (obviously not the same but you know what I mean) because I tried to do that with my husband’s shirt but I ended up just looking like a little kid wearing her dad’s shirt! I was swimming in it!

I have to second Krista’s comment way up there … is your boyfriend your photographer for all of your pics? I always notice the professional quality on your posts. I think I remember being especially impressed by how well the mirror pic turned out in your smokey-eye post

I, of course, adore Seychelles. Don’t you find them to be very comfortable? I do. I’m loving the plaid boyfriend shirt too. I’m just loving your entire outfit.
