UPDATE: What better way to spend your Sunday than styling up some new 'fits? This story was originally published on January 11.
You wore it on your first job interview …and then your second. It's the perfect under-the-sweater blouse for layering. And okay, it might make for a really cute sleep shirt, too. But, the classic white button-down can get so much more wear than you think.
This basic is back (although y'all know it never really left) in three fresh new ways worth obsessing over. The best part? You can wear this old faithful every day of the week without being deemed an outfit repeater. Just be sure to schedule laundry time every once in a while.

Working Girl
Obviously, the white button down has a place in the office. But that doesn't mean your suit needs to be a snore. Funk up your separates with patterned pants and statement heels and make that shirt work 'round the clock.
