white button down you can wear it a 0:20 multitude of ways it goes with you on 0:23 every single trip you're taking no 0:25 matter where you're headed it is your 0:27 full proof i don't know what to wear 0:30 today piece that you will grab again and 0:32 again and again and if you don't have 0:34 one yet now is the time i am wearing the 0:38 citizens of humanity brinkley now this 0:41 is their fabulous kayla silhouette so a 0:45 relaxed button-down but done in an 0:47 oxford fabrication the kayla is more of 0:50 a poplin this is an oxford if you're 0:53 wondering what oxford fabrication looks 0:55 like think of your dad's work shirt from 0:59 the 80s but washed down and 1:02 so yummy now i'm a huge fan of oxford 1:05 because it holds kind of a more relaxed 1:08 feel to it if you like a more crisp 1:10 version i go for the kayla if you want 1:12 something more relaxed i'd go for the 1:14 brinkley same silhouette what makes this 1:17 great oversized fit built-in extra set 1:20 of buttons so it does that roll for you 1:21 you don't need to have a must with it 1:23 slightly longer tail and a little bit 1:26 more voluminous back to capture that 1:29 fabulous kind of easy breezy silhouette 1:32 now speaking of easy breezy this is way 1:35 number one to wear this casual i treat 1:39 it like a jacket now i'm pairing it back 1:42 to the nolah tank from michael stars 1:44 this tank we've seen versions of it out 1:46 there in the market the reason the nola 1:48 is so fantastic 1:50 is because it has just a touch more 1:52 fabrication here and under the arms so 1:55 if you've tried this cutaway tank you 1:57 like the way it looks you think it's fun 1:58 paired back to jeans but you're finding 2:01 that it's too narrow across the bust 2:03 line or under the arm and you can't wear 2:05 your normal bra the nolah is the answer 2:08 it is so fantastic comes in multiple 2:10 colors and is so so comfortable true to 2:13 size now i'm wearing it underneath the 2:15 brinkley and then have it paired back to 2:17 a great pair of parkers now this is the 2:19 parker cuffed 2:21 just like the long but with that cuff 2:23 leg so you can unroll it and give 2:25 yourself even more length which i'm a 2:28 huge fan of i love that kind of more 2:30 bermuda length that's happening in 2:31 cutoffs but if you want it to be more 2:33 cash keep that cuff now on my tootsies i 2:37 have been waiting for these shoes to 2:39 come 2:40 these are arizona love and they could 2:42 not be more fun 2:45 kind of a sporty sandal but they've 2:46 wrapped all the straps in these fabulous 2:49 bandana prints there's also a beautiful 2:51 floral 2:52 it's a great way to wear a casual shoe 2:56 but way turn up the chic so if you're 2:59 looking at tabas and you feel like they 3:00 just feel a little too sporty 3:02 these are your answers 3:05 tons of options online they're such a 3:08 comfortable shoe i absolutely lived in 3:11 these last summer when i first found 3:13 them and i'm so excited we've got them 3:15 at every now 3:17 okay we're gonna take this white shirt 3:19 and we're gonna take it on a date coming 3:22 up look number two 3:24 this is undoubtedly my date night staple 3:28 i keep it super easy 3:30 it's what i gravitate to especially on 3:33 those nights when you've got 17 things 3:35 on the floor and you wonder why you 3:36 didn't just start with this in the first 3:37 place 3:38 great white button down great pair of 3:40 jeans simple heel 3:42 and a touch of gold now here's a secret 3:45 in making this top feel night out 3:47 appropriate number one i like it tucked 3:50 in i think it's important to show your 3:51 waist in this when you go oversized and 3:53 untucked i think it gets a little bit 3:56 relaxed a little bit too casual so 3:59 tucking it into a jean preferably 4:01 something a little bit higher waist 4:03 really accentuates your shape number two 4:06 how low can you go i keep my shirt 4:09 unbuttoned just a little bit further 4:11 than i normally would now a couple ways 4:13 around this you can wear your normal bra 4:15 with it and i often do like that kind of 4:18 trick where 4:19 maybe i'll do a little bit of fashion 4:22 tape in between the button that i open 4:24 and the bottom button so that i'm kind 4:26 of splitting the difference 4:27 other times i'll just do a little 4:29 fashion tape actually on the shirt and 4:31 on my skin to hold it in place 4:33 just keeping it easy but i want to keep 4:35 that neckline nice and open now talking 4:37 about the jewelry here we go 4:39 adding some serious statement gold i 4:42 think is so fun now you can layer up 4:44 which i think can be really fun or you 4:46 can do something really simple like this 4:48 great gold chain which i love it just 4:50 feels bold and easy and kind of 70s chic 4:54 sexy added a great little bracelet here 4:57 fun ring with a little pop of green and 5:00 then my heel now here's the deal about 5:03 the jean anything goes you can wear a 5:05 string you can wear a skinny you can 5:08 wear a boot this is a little bit of a 5:10 cross between that boot and that flare 5:12 this is that lila from citizens of 5:15 humanity now i think this jean runs true 5:17 to size it's got a tremendous amount of 5:19 stretch in it so i say go with your 5:22 normal size it's going to feel snug but 5:24 it will give with you and it makes it 5:26 really easy because of all that stretch 5:29 to tuck your shirt in i did a full roll 5:32 on this one again showing a little bit 5:34 more skin keeping that neckline nice and 5:37 open i'll grab a clutch and i am out the 5:39 door 5:40 in a flash now this feels really springy 5:42 and summery if i wanted to make this 5:44 work for fall or winter i just pair it 5:46 with a pair of black jeans 5:49 turn it up a little bit and you could do 5:51 a great pair of trousers 5:53 so easy and so fun okay we've got one 5:57 kind of in-betweener look coming up okay 6:01 last look this is my 6:03 go-to 6:04 just gotta get dressed want to look put 6:06 together 6:08 a couple great pieces and done all right 6:10 here it is one more time that brinkley 6:12 shirt one more way to style it so the
