Day to Evening with Duffield Lane

I have mentioned many times I love a button-down.  The classic and timeless look can be worn in many different ways. Yesterday I shared a great oxford I snagged in multiple colors, and today I have two great button-downs to add to that list.  The shirts I have to share today from Duffield Lane can be worn in many ways.  As I get older, I realize the benefit of purchasing less that can do more, allowing me to curate the closet I will wear all the time.  Fast fashion doesn't serve me well, and I find I wear it once or twice and then don't want to wear it again. If I stick to what I love and feel comfortable, I do much better in the long run. 

First up is the Helen shirt.  This is a tremendous classic stripe button-down but with some fun twists.  First, the stripes go horizontal and vertical, making them unique.  I will wear this top both during the day and in the evening.  The hem at the bottom is fun, allowing you to tuck it in or leave it out. Even if you choose to only front tuck, the back is long enough to cover your bum.  This is perfect if you wear it with leggings and sneaks and still want your backside covered. It is made of 100 percent cotton and suggests you air dry and touch it with a cool iron.  I think it's a great addition to my closet and yours. 

Next is the Sheridan.  This is another fun twist on a classic button-down. This shirt is in two colors: light blue and darker blue stripes. The shape and cut of this top are more traditional and look great with jeans and even a blazer for dinner.  I had fun styling this one tied at my waist for the day and then tucked in with a blazer on my shoulders and a cute clutch for dinner out. 

These two tops are must-sees for all of my preppy and non-preppy readers. 

Happy Tuesday ...
