The essential white button down

Read most any list of wardrobe essentials and it will likely include the classic white button down shirt. But is it really a must have?

Amidst my gray days and outfits, I interjected a pop of color. I love how this bright pink jacket paired with the black and white check pants. I've got more outfits planned with these pieces. Why is it that I can not wear something for months, and then suddenly I have 4 or 5 outfits in my head using that piece? Like this white shirt. I haven't worn my white button up in a long while, but now every outfit I come up with includes the white button up. I refuse to wear it five days in a row, so I'll have to come up with something else and wear it maybe once a week. Same for the pants. Suddenly two or three more outfits come to mind with them. Why can't I just as easily come up with a weeks work of outfits with different pieces? Why is it that the same pieces keep calling to us over and over at times?
 
I'll stop asking questions now.

If you work in a business professional or business casual environment, there are some basic pieces you need. With these you can add pops of color, pattern and texture with your completer pieces and accessories to build multiple outfits. It will also take the guess work out of "what to wear to work".  A white button up and some tan/khaki (neutral)  pants are two of those basics. A colored blazer  (or cardigan) and leopard belt are two examples of "pops".  Any black, navy, tan, or grey pants will suffice for a neutral. They don't have to be tan. I just happen to like how to red goes with these tan pants for something a little different than red and black.

When I get stumped for outfit ideas I turn to formulas like these. Two basics + two pops.  In this situation, my shoes are neutral but you could wear colored or patterned shoes as one of your pops.

Do you have a favorite formula or formulas for getting dressed?

You are not seeing anything here you have not seen many times before. All of these pieces have been worn many times, but not in this arrangement. I previously showed you nine ways I've worn the camel blazer. I thought it would be fun this time to take a look at how I've worn the leopard scarf. I'm sure there are more ways that just didn't make it to the blog, but here are four of them.

I pretty much copied this look from Lindsey at Thrift and Shout and that's what I meant to do when I pinned it. I went with a different necklace and my pants are different but still the same color family. I still get the most excited when I see something I can repeat from what's already in my closet. Seeing new stuff is great, but I like to use what I have.

 Here's a look back to how I wore these pants in the past.
