Gauzy White Button Down: 5 ways

August 17, 2020 /

I recently bought this shirt as I wanted to have a layer for sleeveless dresses for church but then realized it was quite versatile. I quickly thought about 5 different ways I could wear it. I found this on the clearance rack at TJMaxx for $12 and I love the cotton gauzy material as well as the loose fit and tie. It is a reminder to not look at size as it is XS but fits me well without being tight at all.

Over a Sleeveless Dress

I love this Target tiered dress but it is not appropriate for my church with the deep V and sleeveless sleeves. I cuffed the sleeves since it is still the middle of summer here and I added a half tee type tank for modesty. I chose some leopard accessories for a fun print. Each time I see this dress in pictures or walk down stairs, I love how it flows! So glad I bought it this summer. See it here!

With Olive Shorts for Summer

I decided to see how it would work with shorts and without a layer under. It works! I wore this last week but I think it will be cute too with the sleeves down in the fall.

 

The large brown buttons are really fun. I added my colorful Sanuk sandals and layered some of my favorite bracelets. The leather one with my name on it dates back to a souvenir from a middle school trip!

As a layer with Jeans

Just as it can be layered over a dress, the shirt can be layered over a tee or a tank. I then only tie the last button.

With a Skirt

I think this look would also work in the fall with booties or boots, and with a fall hat. I tucked the blouse in with this skirt but would leave it out with a pencil type skirt.

Colorful accessories keep the outfit fun. This shirt would work with any skirt in my closet I believe!

With Colored Joggers for Fall

Here is another fall look! I am missing my wedge sneakers and can’t wait to wear them again!

I am not sure how much I like this look as the joggers are not really slim fitting. I usually pair more form fitting things with baggier/looser bottoms and vice versa.

Do you have a piece such as this that can work with many other items in your closet? Can it be layered over or under things? Think about these questions when you add something new to your closet so that you get your money’s worth or cost per wear! I probably will create another post when the weather is cooler and show how this can work for cool weather. What a great find!
