Button-Down Wednesday

Okay, really, it could be button-down any day. But I agree with the writers over at ShopBop, that this is a great casual Spring look. Here’s what she writes:

In the summer, most of my Saturday afternoons are spent on a sunny coffee shop patio with a cup and a book. An oversized chambray button-down thrown on over a print skirt is just the kind of effortless style this laid-back activity deserves.

I, of course, would wear this to work, but hey, that’s what happens at Midwest start-ups.

Large prints seem to be a big trend for Spring. I’m especially loving the yellow and pink dress with those shoes! Ah, it’s always the shoes.

I just loved this photo and Sartorialist’s description:

I love how Milanese gentlemen move like they are the star of their own film.

A visual seduction.

I’m pretty sure that’s how we should decide to dress each day – with swagger, intrigue and seduction.
