7 Ways To Style A Button-Up Shirt

The classic button-up blouse is an incredibly versatile item to have in your wardrobe.

If you buy a solid, neutral color (such as chambray, grey, white or black), you can dress it up or down a number of ways. It also is an important tool to use for layering.

Here are SEVEN ways to style your standard button-up blouse.

1. Find a longer blouse (one that is past your hips and covers your butt) and wear with a bright pair of skinny jeans.

2. Wear it buttoned up over a dress or skirt, using a skinny belt to accentuate your waist.

3. Wear over a dress and tie the shirt at your waist. I think this looks exceptionally good with colorful flannels and makes a great alternative to a sweatshirt.

4. Wear with a cardigan and roll the sleeves over to make it 3/4 sleeve length. This is a basic way to quickly dress up a pair of jeans.

5. Wear under a short sleeved sweater or shirt.

6. Tuck into skirt and belt it. This is my personal fave.

7. Wear it with shorts over a tank or lightweight t-shirt and loosely tuck into waistband. And don’t forget to add a statement necklace!

Happy Fashion Friday!

Fashion Friday

Dear Friends,

I am on my last couple days of vacation and completely lost track of what day it is.

This happens sometimes when there is no daily schedule to go by.

In this case, Friday completely snuck up on me and I have nothing prepared for you.

No profound realizations, tips or golden nuggets of fashion wisdom.

But I DO have pictures of my outfits from the week, so I will leave you with that.

Please forgive my neglect.

I am going into mourning that my beautiful three weeks of vacation are coming to an end and I will have to once again resume normal life.

I will immediately start thinking of something super snazzy for you to read next week. Hope you had a wonderful and memorable week!

Have a great weekend!

Love,

Rena aka The Girl With The Smile 🙂

What Would Zooey Deschanel Wear?

Posted on

I am a huge fan of Zooey Deschanel.

She is incredibly adorable with her big blue eyes and full bangs.

(Tangent: We just watched Elf last week and it’s hard to believe that THAT girl is Zooey. Blonde is not a good look on her.)

And I am in love with every single thing she wears on New Girl.

Well…my friend, Jen, just told me about a website devoted entirely to Zooey Deschanel’s clothes.

Check out What Would Zooey Deschanel Wear.

It has pages of her outfits and the best thing is it shows you where you can buy the same or similar clothing and some things are completely affordable!

There is also a website completely devoted to Taylor Swift! My two favorite ladies! How did they know?! 🙂
