I’ve really been loving this fully buttoned look lately. This is the third time I’ve featured an outfit incorporating this in the past week. A little obsessed? Maybe. It feels a little conservative, a little nerdy, and a little fancy pants. Just the right combination.
I had my concerns that attempting this look with a chambray shirt could go cowboy-chic really quickly. I knew I wanted to pair it with the Enchanting Three necklace from Le Mode. (By the way, how pretty is that green color?) Even though I had an inkling it would really add to the western feel, I was convinced it could still be a successful combination if I added some girly elements. This wool cardigan and these black heels dressed the look up just enough that it didn’t feel too costume-y.
Outfit Breakdown:
Cardigan: Gap (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Shirt: Gap (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Necklace: c/o Le Mode (Same.)
Jeans: Gap (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Heels: Ted Baker (Save. Spend. Splurge.)
Hair:
Side topsy turvy ponytail with a series of topsy turvys down the length of the ponytail.

I really like this outfit! I’m not usually big on the buttoned-up look, but this one seems to work for me – definitely not cowboy-ish at all!
Your necklace and shoes are SO lovely! Love the green color of the necklace with the gold details. And your loafer-esque heels are just adorable!
Great look all around!
Blessings & peace!

How pretty! Your cardigans looks so warm and cozy, I love your jeans and heels – and that polka dot chambray! Gorgeous!
Gorgeous and you definitely look great with the all the way buttoned up shirts. I don’t think I could pull it off like you.

For a second I was confused like how would that feel costume-y…Then it clicked. I think you are safe! You just cute, as usually. I can’t do the every button buttoned look. I feel claustrophobic!
I love the fully buttoned up look – I think it’s such a modern way to wear a blouse & it’s so chic! This polka dot top is super fun

I love the fully buttoned up look with the statement necklace. The heels totally make the look not western!
I love that necklace – it looks wonderful with that outfit too. I haven’t tried buttoning up all the way….maybe I’ll give ‘er a go! I’m also loving the hair – I’m totally stealing that look idea.
I love how you layered this: the cardigan over chambray looks so comfy while still being stylish! You’re right, that necklace color is beautiful. Very in since emerald is this year’s color! Great post!

This is totally something I would wear, and I’m obsessing over the hair. What a pretty twist (literally!) on the braid!
I love this so much. I may have to do some buttoned all the way up,action too cause you look so chic.
So pretty! I love your outdoor shots. Great job!
