Top: Frame ‘Le Bowtie’| Shorts: Frame | Bag: Kate Spade Lietta ℅ | Shoes: Henri Lepore Dezert | Sunglasses: Celine
My closet is filled with a variety of white button downs, all in varying shapes, styles and fabrics. One may accuse me of having a bit of an obsession, but truth be told, they all serve a different purpose and I wear each and every one. One that was missing, and I didn’t even know it, was a white button down with a removable bow addition. What I love about this one is that it can be worn as a bow or a tie, immediately taking it from feminine to a bit more masculine. Of course if you’re a good DIY’er, this is probably something you can create at home. Just a thought! I finished the outfit off with this new jeweled beauty from Kate Spade, ‘the Lietta’ bag.
Side note, ever since I discovered how to bring new life to my old whites, I’ve bought some older and dingier white shirts back from the grave. Also, someone asked me if that post was sponsored and it most definitely was not. Just something I was excited to share!
