Un-Fancy

Outfits: Summer, summer outfits

white button up + jean cutoffs + birkenstocks

Capsule #3 / Outfit 8

Say hello to my summer uniform for day-to-day stuff. White button up + cutoffs + Birkenstocks. Most of the time, I don’t even bother with the bracelets or clutch, but occasionally I’ll add them when I want to move 10 points up the style scale.

This shirt was a risky buy for me this summer. I had been on the lookout for the perfect soft white button up when I spotted a girl rocking this one. I kindly asked her where she found it and she kindly told me. So I beelined to Urban Outfitters to grab it because certainly everyone else had realized how perfect it was too + I had to get there before they bought out the stock. Obviously.

Upon finding it in store though, I realized it was a very fragile shirt. To the point I was afraid I was going to rip off a sleeve with one wrong reach. Or I could see myself pulling it out of the wash only to find it had disintegrated into lint balls.

Despite the red flags, I bought it anyway.

But I’m so glad I did. Surprisingly, it’s turned out to be one tough shirt. I’ve purposely not been easy on it. I’ve worn it on multiple road trips, lounged around the house in it, cleaned the kitchen in it a few times, washed + dried it repeatedly — and it’s going strong! I’m impressed.

    Finding the perfect white button up is so difficult. The more durable ones are too stiff and look unflattering, while the nicer fitting ones tend to be flimsy and see through (I can’t stand see through shirts). My favourite white shirts are by Cloth & Stone and they are so soft, but yet sturdy.
    Love this outfit! I am so enjoying reading your blog.

    I love that white shirt! I’m actually on the hunt as well for the perfect button down. Does this wrinkle easily? That’s my biggest complaint because I sit in an office all day :/ Love this whole outfit!

      Hi Gretchen! It does wrinkle rather easily — or maybe I’m just terrible about hanging up my clothes. :) But in my opinion, it’s definitely more of a casual shirt than an office appropriate shirt. xo Caroline

    I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect white button-down shirt – just curious – is this see-through? Do you have to wear a shirt under it?

      Hi Jenny! It’s not see-through, which was one of the reasons I snatched it up so quickly. I do have to wear a nude colored bra, because the material is thin, but I don’t have to wear a shirt underneath it. :) xo Caroline
