Boyfriend Button-down

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.

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. How come you look so cool?

  5. i love the heavy chain bracelet with that shirt

  6. 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!

  7. Perfect relaxed look.

  8. Cute! May need to get my boyfriend some shirts like that.. so I can steal them.

  9. 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!

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

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

  12. 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.

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

  14. perfectly cool.

    i ALWAYS steal my boy’s shirts.

    you simply radiate.

  15. 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

  16. i have the same jeans! that shirt looks fabulous on you– i wouldn’t of known it was your boyfriend’s if you didn’t say so!

  17. 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!

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

  19. Love this outfit and love your site! What jeans are you wearing?

  20. I like tjis outfit – the perfect combination with the heels :)

  21. I love the outfit especially the heels :)

  22. 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! =)

  23. i like your shirt, i have been looking for this kind for a while, you look great in it, doll!

  24. perfect outfit for the memorial day weekend! i just love BF’s cozy clothes :)

  25. super cute! love it with the heels!

  26. That shirt’s a keeper! The boyfriend too!! :)

  27. you are cute as a button! sounds like a lovely weekend:)

  28. Cutee! I love boy’s shirts. I have a flannel one like this and I wore it half the winter, so comfy!

  29. yes, my boy has a very well-curated collection of worn-in flannels.

    you wear the style well :)

  30. very very cute – suits you!

  31. 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!

  32. perfect, chic & easy love it!! check my blog for your award http://carlotta-myway.blogspot.com/2009/05/awards.html

  33. I love boy clothes. What brand are your jeans?

  34. Those shots are beautiful. they remind me of the fall!

  35. guys clothes are so much more comfortable its ridiculous!

  36. 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 :)

  37. Love this outfit. Very casual yet glam.

  38. I love wearing men’s button down shirts! Soo comfy! Love these photos!

  39. 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.

  40. Very cute!

  41. i got the EXACT same seychelles heels last night at neiman marcus last call for $28!! when i saw them, i had a feeling you had them too :P i don’t think i’ve even seen this post, but these heels totally looked like your style – i guess i was right!

  42. if youre on house arrest, why are you in a field?
