I love a clean and crisp stripped button up. It has that “I mean business” feel for the work week, but also a classic feminine feel for the weekend. That’s why this one was an absolute no-brainer. No, really, I was walking out of J Crew (admittedly I was only there to “return something”) and the shirt was just screaming “I’m perfect for you.” I snatched it up and without trying it on purchased it… and I couldn’t have been happier (I actually think I wore it three times in one week…. #sorryimnotsorry). For this day time ensemble I couldn’t help but play with the juxtaposition of a clean fitting top and a chunky oversized knit… I couldn’t resist the combination.

And, can I just say how much I adore these fabulous statement earrings from Benevolent Jewels? I have to take a minute here to talk about their cause for the next several months. It’s all about bully prevention… and as a therapist this cause tugs on my heart strings… and my wallet (how could I not support this?). If you’re in the market for a stunning statement piece, make sure you shop for a cause at Benevolent (and enjoy 20% off with code ibi20).
