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.

    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 :)

    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! :-)

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

    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” … ;)

    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!

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