Boyfriends and Button-downs
Urban Outfitters Blouse and Shorts, Forever 21 Headband, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Jewelry, Foley + Corinna Bag, Prada Heels
I’ve always loved the idea of owning an oversized button-down that I could just as easily wear to bed as to brunch the next day with some skinny jeans and flats. I’ve stolen several out of my boyfriend’s closet over the years, only to find them too long in the arms and far too boxy. I bought this one at Urban Outfitters and am utterly obsessed with its relaxed fit and soft fabric and it could certainly double as a nightie if I wasn’t worried about wrinkling it beyond belief.

Amazing!!! Love it!
Love this color palette. <333
love this outfit! and love your headband!
just came across your blog and love it! is that the MK men’s chronograph watch? i’ve been debating if it’s too big for my wrist, but it looks great!
love the pastel and tan combo…oversized bags are such a great statement accessory! Love how the outfit resists the tendency towards ‘prissy’ that pale pink leans towards…booties tend to help with that! Nice!
beautiful pictures… I love the softness of the whole look!

Beautiful! I am also obsessed with loose button-downs. My favorite is a peach-colored silk top from J. Crew. I love your shorts–they remind me of those darling Chloe shorts with the scalloped trim that I’ll never be able to afford. Agh!

I love your bag! And of course you always look chic and cute!
yes!!! i always find the same prob with boyfriend shirts! just too big and ill-fitting for a female frame. this looks lovely on you!
I simply love the Prada heels! They might be my favorites of yours.

Is that shirt still available to buy on Urban Oufitters? I would love to add something like this to my wardrobe. You look beautiful.

I just bought those shorts in black! I wear them all the time with everything! Urban has the best merchandise that they’ve had in a while.
It’s definitely a very feminine version of a men’s button down, but I like it and I can image that it goes perfectly with just everything. But my big love on the outfit are the shoes. Your wear them in a lot of pictures and they just perfect!!!
I love this outfit. I would totally wear this! I especially love the shorts!

gorgeous – love how relaxed and summery you look!
I’ve been loving blousy shirts like this lately, because they can be worn a gazillion ways! Your outfit has a romantic quality to it, and the makeup is perfect. Soft and luminous. So pretty Emily!

Is that the BDG breezy button down shirt? I love those, I’ve been wanting one forever.
What a sweet outfit! So light and floaty looking!
http://alwaysfashionablyearly.blogspot.com/
I’ve always loved this look, I just wish my body-type lived it back
Thanks, Emily. A white shirt of mine has endured several on and off hanger moments only to be passed up for others, I couldn’t figure out the proportions. Now I know exactly what to do, the higher waister short shorts and a heel were what was missing! Perfect.
This looks so comfortably chic, great look for the end of summer!
I love this outfit!
The shorts and shoes are my favorite.
check out my blog, I just started it in July.
It’s called Opened Drawers.

I love the outfit, but I really can’t get over those Prada heels. You have the best taste in shoes!
I love the headpiece! It is the perfect contrast to your light colored outfit. The scenery of this photo shoot is excellent too.
xo Marcie
I love the idea of a sheer boyfriend button down, I think it would go a long way to diffuse the manly cut of the shirt.
wow love the outfit. The top looks so comfy yet fashioable to go out in which is totally a plus. Can’t wait to see more of that top with other pieces of clothing!!
You are the picture of elegance and have a kind of mystery and mystique about you that is just so captivating.
If I may ask, what color are your nails?
Those shoes are my favorite of you collection!

i love all of this- that shirt is amazing- there is a similar one i found at Express but it was expensive for express even tho its silk…have to keep my eyes peeled for a sale!

i know what you mean about men’s tops looking boxy. this seems like a brilliant fit though. love the soft, natural feel to this outfit.

I love the relaxed fit of the button down, it reminds me of the one Leighton Meester just wore on the set of “Gossip Girl”
Very pretty. =)

I have that shirt, and I wear it to pieces! It’s the perfect fit. I love it!
tres chic!
i also adore the ones they have at old navy. very soft, comfy, and (best of all) reasonably priced.
Oh I love this outfit Emily! It’s so cute and girly

I love the whole outfit! -UO is a wonderful place to find great combinations.. love the Prada’s!! so cute!
Amazing. Very feminine look, perfectly clean colours, great accessories.
adore this unlikely combination and the scenery is idyllic!
Emily, I’m in love with your Prada heels! I’m more of a shoe-girl than anything else and those are simply to melt over..
The shorts in this outfit are great, i’m loving anything in a nude shade right now x
http://www.fashionbookmark.blogspot.com
I’ve just recently fell in love with button downs… I love yours and the whole outfit in general. The soft colors are so sweet and feminine and I love how they’re all basically nude.

I love the way the shorts wrap around your waist
and how soft and feminine the look is.
OK, so you look amazing in everything , but this is definitely THE palette for you. Love the dramatic contrast of dark nails, too. Lovely as usual!
you are beautiful!!
It’s the headband I adore.
Love this look. Im about to buy a shirt like that myself.
I love this shirt, too. It just makes me sad that it’s sold at UO. I’ve boycotted them for the last year for the shit they’ve pulled some some of their marketing tactics, and went over the top with the “eat less” shirt, that I’ve stopped shopping there full stop.
Do you have any recommendations for similar shirts but sold elsewhere?
XX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
mmm…girl where’d you get all of that?
ha
noo seriously…
where did you get those SHORTS!?
i’ve been looking everywhere for cute shorts like that
and have had noo luck!
I love your blog and was wondering what kind of camera you use?
Thanks so much!
