Ever heard the saying “invest in basic pieces”? So you get the piece but you seem to be styling it the same way over and over. You could be just staring at the piece wondering new ways to style it or you are trying to pack minimal for a trip.
Here are 5 different ways to style the basic piece of a sleeveless white button down.
Shirt ; Shorts ; Purse ; Shoes ; Lipstick (C211 Rosewood)
The first one is with flowy shorts. These shorts are a staple in the summer as they are always comfy and come in great patterns to style down the shirt.

No matter the style that you are trying to go for, this piece can fit in somewhere. Basic pieces are great, but sometimes you can get stuck on how to style it differently. It is also great to know that if you need to reduce your packing and can only bring a few shirts, then you have options. The accessories can always be inner changed with the others.
