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.

Oh you’re so cute in this outfit, so … girly!

5 OmnisLucis { 05.27.09 at 2:18 am }

i love the combination of the masculin shirt and the platform shoes. i wear my boyfriend’s collegiate sweatshirts and baseball cap, which resulted in him getting me gymshorts and a tee from his campus store (i graduated from a different college!).

hope you had a fun long wkend :)

6 Kate { 05.27.09 at 2:21 am }

8 maria johns { 05.27.09 at 2:43 am }

great comfy casual look and the heels are the perfect feminine touch! I just picked up two plaid shirts too!

This is such a different look for you and I love it!

10 Jill { 05.27.09 at 4:10 am }

13 Carla { 05.27.09 at 4:53 am }

You look so happy Emily :)

14 Karen { 05.27.09 at 5:19 am }

LOVE the shirt, jeans and heels combo on you. Very Olsen.

I need to shop a bit more in my boyfriend’s wardrobe too but I’ll probably feel guilty at the ratio of my stuff to his! :-)

15 Maria { 05.27.09 at 5:29 am }

Well you look absolutely naturally gorgeous in that shirt tbh!
You could be a model, your look is so flawlessly natural! x

16 Dee { 05.27.09 at 5:43 am }

I love your whole outfit! It looks extremely comfortable!

17 Mariane Saraiva { 05.27.09 at 5:56 am }

i loved your blog

18 sharon rose { 05.27.09 at 6:02 am }

Hi there-the shirt looks gorgeous on you, wil your boyfriend get it back, LOL? I’m in boyfriend style mood on my latest post too!

19 sharon rose { 05.27.09 at 6:02 am }

Hi there-the shirt looks gorgeous on you, will your boyfriend get it back, LOL? I’m in boyfriend style mood on my latest post too!

20 Vivian { 05.27.09 at 6:04 am }

boyfriend button-downs are definitely so comfortable, and a staple for every wardrobe. you look so great!

21 Helen { 05.27.09 at 6:20 am }

You’ve styled it to fit perfectly! I always associate boyfriend-styles with extra bagginess, but tucking the shirt into the front of your jeans gives it a flattering, great shape. Also loving the dark, dark wash of these jeans with the Wrangler shirt. I think this is what they’re referring to when they talk about the beautiful “girl next-door” … ;)

22 Sal { 05.27.09 at 6:23 am }

Don’t EVER give that one back!

23 Thao { 05.27.09 at 6:33 am }

Adorable! And so comfy.

24 PS~Erin { 05.27.09 at 6:38 am }

Oh, and it looks so nice and comfy (and you pull it off so perfectly)!

25 Paulette Ink. { 05.27.09 at 6:40 am }

Great look…I’m a sucker for comfy button-downs any day of the week. :)

26 chicfaced { 05.27.09 at 6:45 am }

your boyfriend has great taste in shirts that look awesome on you! :)

27 Talk Pretty To Me { 05.27.09 at 6:47 am }

Very cute! I do love boys button downs a lot. Love the jeans/heels/plaid combo a lot!

28 underfunded heiress { 05.27.09 at 6:48 am }

Comfy! What brand are those jeans? They look like a great pair of skinnies.

29 Lauren From Texas { 05.27.09 at 7:01 am }

I steal my husband’s clothes all the time. :) You look great!

30 Lexie { 05.27.09 at 7:01 am }

i did my laundry last night and realized i have three of my boyfriend’s plain white v-necks! oops!

31 little house on Green { 05.27.09 at 7:07 am }

Yay, you went to my hometown! Isn’t it lovely there?

I love that look, so cute. And those shoes are fantastic!!!!!

32 Sher { 05.27.09 at 7:13 am }

So simple and comfy, I love it:)

33 Lauren { 05.27.09 at 7:27 am }

Great outfit :)

34 Katy { 05.27.09 at 7:29 am }

Oh, Seychelles makes the best heels!

Love the shirt…I have some beat-up old button-downs of my dad’s that I usually only wear as around-the-house comfie shirts, but I like the way you’ve styled this! Might have to try it!

35 Montse { 05.27.09 at 7:33 am }

That’s a cool outfit. Simple but cool!
Have a nice day darling! XOXO

36 freeteyme { 05.27.09 at 7:40 am }

love the plaid shirt with the skinny jeans!

37 Cari { 05.27.09 at 7:53 am }

Love your heels! You’re lucky that your bf’s clothes fit you so well! I’d be swimming. xo Cari http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com

38 Absolutely Not Martha { 05.27.09 at 7:54 am }

beautiful look on you…but definitely not androgynous.

39 Paige { 05.27.09 at 7:55 am }

precious! i love the skinny plaid shirts elizabeth and james does too – they have the cutest back buttons!

40 Snapshot Fashion { 05.27.09 at 8:02 am }

love it!!!

41 southern hostess { 05.27.09 at 8:03 am }

This shirt looks like it was made for you!

42 Kristina { 05.27.09 at 8:09 am }

I definitely would not look like that in my husband’s shirt!

43 cindy khor { 05.27.09 at 8:16 am }

a casual and relaxing outfit but still contains feminity in it, i would say the heels add some bonus points to the outfit..

44 Carissa { 05.27.09 at 8:18 am }

that shirt does look super comfy but cute at the same time! but I have to say, I am in love with your jeans in this photo!

45 Kristine { 05.27.09 at 8:28 am }

Love the outfit! I have those sandals, too! Just found your blog recently and I just adore it!

46 Ms Glitzy { 05.27.09 at 8:28 am }

you look really good in anything u wear!

47 Rachel { 05.27.09 at 8:36 am }

My husband is a lot taller and bigger than me for me to wear his shirts… darn. But, you look adorable!

48 Jade { 05.27.09 at 8:38 am }

I love the shoes! I love that my husbands a big guy, the only down side all his shirts are HUGE! haha I’ll just have to start shopping the mens section…

49 tiff { 05.27.09 at 8:51 am }

Adorable, as usual.

50 boubou { 05.27.09 at 8:59 am }

51 Pretty Little World { 05.27.09 at 9:37 am }

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

52 Helen { 05.27.09 at 9:44 am }

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.

53 Wanderlusting { 05.27.09 at 10:07 am }

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!

54 Miss L { 05.27.09 at 10:11 am }

How come you look so cool?

55 michelle { 05.27.09 at 10:11 am }

i love the heavy chain bracelet with that shirt

56 Megan { 05.27.09 at 10:11 am }

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!

57 Diabolina { 05.27.09 at 10:13 am }

Perfect relaxed look.

58 Micaela { 05.27.09 at 10:21 am }

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

59 elaine { 05.27.09 at 10:23 am }

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!

60 Meream { 05.27.09 at 10:33 am }

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

61 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 05.27.09 at 10:37 am }

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

62 Amber { 05.27.09 at 11:03 am }

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.

63 Cafe Fashionista { 05.27.09 at 11:33 am }

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

64 leeselooks { 05.27.09 at 12:29 pm }

perfectly cool.

i ALWAYS steal my boy’s shirts.

you simply radiate.

65 The Lil Bee { 05.27.09 at 12:49 pm }

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

66 Erica { 05.27.09 at 1:09 pm }

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!

67 Jen { 05.27.09 at 1:54 pm }

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!

68 Julia { 05.27.09 at 1:58 pm }

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

69 Shannon { 05.27.09 at 3:00 pm }

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

70 Gracinha { 05.27.09 at 3:06 pm }

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

71 Kim { 05.27.09 at 3:25 pm }

I love the outfit especially the heels :)

72 steph { 05.27.09 at 3:48 pm }

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! =)

73 Chloe { 05.27.09 at 3:56 pm }

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

74 The Style Rules { 05.27.09 at 4:08 pm }

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

75 stacy di { 05.27.09 at 4:19 pm }

super cute! love it with the heels!

76 Budget Babe { 05.27.09 at 4:49 pm }

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

77 hanako66 { 05.27.09 at 5:27 pm }

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

78 S.Elisabeth { 05.27.09 at 6:49 pm }

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

79 Dog-Eared { 05.27.09 at 10:55 pm }

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

you wear the style well :)

80 Julia { 05.28.09 at 12:17 am }

very very cute – suits you!

81 tiffany { 05.28.09 at 1:23 am }

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!

82 carlotta { 05.28.09 at 1:27 am }

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

83 Shannon { 05.28.09 at 5:01 am }

I love boy clothes. What brand are your jeans?

84 Melissa { 05.28.09 at 5:59 am }

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

85 Nicole Marie { 05.28.09 at 7:47 am }

guys clothes are so much more comfortable its ridiculous!

86 Haute Whimsy { 05.28.09 at 12:27 pm }

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 :)

87 Loupita { 05.28.09 at 2:32 pm }

Love this outfit. Very casual yet glam.

88 Melanie { 05.29.09 at 6:26 am }

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

89 Kristin { 05.29.09 at 10:43 pm }

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.

90 jamieofalltrades { 05.31.09 at 9:32 pm }

Very cute!

91 mai-vi { 10.25.09 at 8:03 am }

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!

92 syndy { 10.08.10 at 8:50 am }
