That White Shirt

I'm watching "The Change Up" on TV right now and can't help but notice Olivia Wilde's pretty office outfits---crisp white shirts and pencil skirts, galore! (she made those simple pieces look quite sexy in that movie---but then again, I kinda think she's one of those gals that can make a paper bag look sexy).

Her movie style kind of reminds me of today's outfit---a classic white shirt and navy blazer---but with the feminine touch of a lace skirt.  I can't believe I didn't have a perfect white shirt until recently.  It feels amazing to own a crisp white shirt that fits perfectly and goes with everything---I repeat, everything.  Ladies, if you haven't found your crisp white shirt yet, be on the lookout because I can see this shirt going down in versatility history. In fact, I wore the lilac version of it numerous times during our trip to Toronto.


 








Shirt & Blazer- Talula boyfriend shirt (Aritzia)
Skirt- Zara
Necklace- Banana Republic
Shoes- Nine West
Sometimes, simplicity is lovely.


...and, while I'm here---I'm going to share some upcoming sales from some Houston boutiques:
Through June 21, the Elaine Turner Semi Annual Shoe Sale will have the designer's looks for a steal. Then from June 22-29, you can get a matching handbag at the  Semi Annual Handbag Sale.




...and in more Houston news--- Houston boutique Tootsies is hosting a fundraiser benefiting Houston PetSet, a not-for-profit organization seeking to enrich the local community with animal-friendly activities and events. The event, taking place June 20th from 6-8 p.m.  is a kick-off party for the 10th annual Fierce and Fabulous Soiree that will take place on Friday, September 28. Tootsies will host an evening of light bites and shopping and guests will mix and mingle their way through summer styles while supporting a wonderful cause. All guests are asked to RSVP to info@houstonpetset.org and provide a suggested $20 donation.  Check it out if you love pets---and shopping!

Very classic, great for the office! I wish I worked in one ;(

I can't get enough lace skirts. I think I own...three! And counting...

My love for crisp white shirts is eclipsed by my loathIng of ironing. I think I need to buy like seven, and then just send them out to be laundered. Ha.

After every post, how do you manage to convince me I need to own every single item you blog about? :) You look great girl!

Love the skirt! I'm so bummed. I accidentally threw my Jcrew white button up into the dryer with my sheets and I think it shrank. Definitely feels a bit tighter than it did prior to being put in the dryer.

A classic white shirt may not seem like an important purchase to a lot of people but they don't realize that they are so incredibly versatile! I have a couple and will probably add different styles to my wardrobe as well :)

V, you look great. I always have difficulty with button-down shirts because of my bust (34F). My solution is to avoid button-down shirts altogether, but this post makes me want to try again! Does anyone have advice? Am I going to have to buy 1-2 sizes up and have the waist taken in?

Love this classic outfit and the skirt looks amazing on you.
BTW I just read your last status on Facebook about the crazy/creepy person and I am really sorry to hear about that story. People are just sick.
I am sure most of your readers will support you. Anyway, love your blog/youtube channel and your style (clothing and decor).
